Again, our offense has never been about one guy, trying to throw it to one person, it\u2019s been about reading the coverage and going to the right spot with it. I\u2019m not sure there\u2019s anyone I\u2019d rather have in the history of the game than Tom Brady.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>DEFENSIVE PLAY-CALLER BRIAN FLORES<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>ON ADDED CREATIVITY AND SCHEMING IN THE FRONT SEVEN<\/em>: \u201cI think over the course you build and try to improve every day. Try to find things that work best for your team. I think every team is trying to do that. We certainly did that, but again, it\u2019s a testament to the players and their ability to learn, do multiple things, adjust and play well. I certainly won\u2019t take credit for what they\u2019ve done on the field. They\u2019ve done a great job. We have a big test coming up Sunday. Whatever we can do to win this game is most important.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>ON THE PATRIOTS\u2019 MAN COVERAGE TENDENCIES<\/em>: \u201cWe try to do whatever it takes or whatever the best thing is to thwart our opponent. If it&#8217;s man coverage, if it\u2019s zone coverage, if it\u2019s blitzing, I think in this league if you do one thing the offenses are too good, certainly this offense we are playing on Sunday. Specifically, this offense is capable of taking advantage of whatever the defense does. You can\u2019t be one dimensional in this league. You have to be multiple.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>ON THE RAMS OFFENSE<\/em>: \u201cHe [Sean McVay] does a really great job. Schematically, there\u2019s diverse yet challenging as anyone we\u2019ve faced. More than anything they have great skill players, that helps. They\u2019ve done a great job over there. It\u2019s going to be an incredible test for us. We have to play. We have to play with our best communication, disciplined game. We have to do a great job of tackling. We have to have great fundamentals. We\u2019ll see how it shakes out; it\u2019s going to be a tough game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>ON THE RAMS\u2019 TIGHT OFFENSIVE FORMATIONS<\/em>: \u201cIt\u2019s tough. They do so much out of those tight formations whether its missile motion or running out of it, passing out of it, or play-action out of it. They\u2019re very multiple. The biggest thing is they have really good players, and their scheme fits their players.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>ON KYLE VAN NOY<\/em>: \u201cKyle\u2019s been tremendous. He works hard. He wants to get better and tries to improve every day. He\u2019s very versatile. He\u2019s very smart. You can do a lot with him. He wants more on his plate every day. Those are the kinds of guys you want. He\u2019s done a really good job for us. He\u2019s got some leadership qualities to him, and that goes a long way towards building throughout the season. We have that with a lot of our players from Kyle to Hightower to Roberts to Malcom Brown to Lawrence Guy to Adam Butler to Trey Flowers; we have a group of guys that really work well together, and it takes 11. One guy is out of position, and there goes [Todd] Gurley. Those 11 guys have to trust each other, communicate, know each other&#8217;s strengths and weaknesses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>ON KYLE VAN NOY\u2019S SKILL AS A PASS RUSHER<\/em>: \u201cHe\u2019s got length, he\u2019s got quickness, and he\u2019s versatile. He knows his strengths and weaknesses, and he tries to play to his strengths which are quickness, some length, a quick first step. He has some good qualities.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>OFFENSIVE LINE COACH DANTE SCARNECCHIA<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>ON THE PATRIOTS&#8217; COACHING STAFF<\/em>: \u201cI love Josh. I love every coach on this staff. I don\u2019t mean that flippantly; it\u2019s a great group of guys to be around. No egos, and whether they\u2019re on offense or defense. Just an easy bunch of guys to work with, and Josh in particular because we are so close. I like working with Josh. He knows what he wants.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>ON THE PATRIOTS\u2019 USAGE OF JAMES DEVELIN<\/em>: \u201cWe never thought we would do that. There are so few teams that are doing that. We have gravitated towards that more than any time in the past. We are what\u2019s called a \u2018regular\u2019 team; fullback, halfback, two wide receivers and then we morph into other things from there. It truly is our base.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>ON IF THE PATRIOTS ADAPT THE SCHEME TO THE PLAYERS<\/em>: \u201cNo, we have a way of doing things. We believe really strongly in those things. These guys have heard the same thing that all those guys before them have heard. From the very beginning with Matt Light all the way through, it hasn\u2019t changed a lot. We want them to be reliable, accountable; we want them to do things the way we want them done. We don\u2019t back off that at all, and the good news is any new guys coming in see that the guys before them have been coached the same way, have been asking to do things the same way, and if they embrace it, they\u2019ll do fine. If they don\u2019t embrace it, it won\u2019t go very well for them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>ON TOM BRADY\u2019S PRAISE<\/em>: \u201cI\u2019m not [the best OL coach ever]. Don\u2019t believe the hype, believe me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>ON THE OFFENSIVE LINE\u2019S PERFORMANCE IN THE PLAYOFFS<\/em>: \u201cThat\u2019s what we strive to do every game. I\u2019m glad that we have. I\u2019m glad that we\u2019ve worked so hard to do that, but we have a huge challenge ahead of us. I don\u2019t look back at that stuff. I don\u2019t worry about that. I worry about what\u2019s ahead. What\u2019s ahead is pretty substantial.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>ON THE RAMS DEFENSE<\/em>: \u201cI think they\u2019re all very well coached. Bill Johnson does a great job with their defensive line. Wade [Phillips] has always been great at attacking other teams protection systems. I learned that the hard way from him years ago. They put their players in positions to be successful. They\u2019ll do their homework on us, and we\u2019ll do the same for them, and we\u2019ll see how it comes out.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>RUNNING BACKS COACH IVAN FEARS<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>ON SONY MICHEL\u2019S VISION<\/em>: \u201cHis reads. His run reads. But, he should tell you, he does have excellent vision. He has primary reads based on the play, what we think is going to happen, how the line is blocking the play and that\u2019s where he starts. If he does a good job with that, then there comes a time where he\u2019s going to have to make a play. He has to make a good decision for us, and then he\u2019s going to have to make someone miss eventually.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>ON SONY MICHEL IN THE PASSING GAME<\/em>: \u201cNot so much gone away from him, there\u2019s only so many touches we can give him in a game. He\u2019s got the ball 25 or 26 times already. One or two catches, no problem. But to feature him out of the backfield now we are talking 30 to 35 touches. It\u2019s not necessary. Somewhere along the line, I have to save him a little bit. What\u2019s the most important thing we need from him? We need him to run the goddamn ball. I got guys that can catch the ball. Not that he can\u2019t catch the ball, he can catch the ball well. It\u2019s just picking and choosing how involved I\u2019m going to get him in something like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>ON JAMES WHITE AND REX BURKHEAD\u2019S ABILITIES IN THE PASSING GAME<\/em>: \u201cYeah, they\u2019re great at it. They\u2019re great at it. It helps a lot [not to overwork Sony]. I try to make sure we have guys that last the year, all year. And when we started, we were banged up, and it hurt us. Sony missed a lot of time, so you just want to be smart how you use a guy until you get to this point. Now, all day. I don\u2019t care. All bars. Every snap. Whatever it takes to win. We are going to go out there and make plays, whoever is making plays, no rules here.<\/p>\n<p><em>ON WHERE SONY MICHEL HAS IMPROVEMENT THE MOST<\/em>: I think he\u2019s picked up the offense really well. The mental part of the game. I think he understands what we are trying to do a whole lot better than when we first started. I\u2019m excited about his willingness to learn, his willingness to work and that\u2019s great. That\u2019s great.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>ON THE RUNNING BACKS DON\u2019T MATTER CROWD<\/em>: \u201cI think they have their problems. I think everybody matters. I think Sony\u2019s been a great help to us, and I hope this Sunday is a culmination of a great year for him.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>WIDE RECEIVERS COACH CHAD O\u2019SHEA<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>[arve url=&#8221;https:\/\/streamable.com\/s\/kqyqh\/idjbyb&#8221; \/]<\/p>\n<p><em>ON THE PATRIOTS\u2019 STACK ALIGNMENTS<\/em>: \u201cWe are going to do some things formations wise to attack the defense. Certainly one of the things we do is we try to use a variety of different alignments. We spread them out and play empty, we\u2019ll use stacks, we\u2019ll use bunches, and it\u2019s all to get guys to gain separation. Like we always say, the job of a receiver is to get open and catch the ball, so we are always going to try and use alignments that help them do that. One of the alignments we use is a stack or bunch along with various other alignments. It\u2019s only one part, one piece of the puzzle, but something you\u2019ll see on tape that we do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>ON THE RECEIVERS ON-FIELD CHEMISTRY<\/em>: \u201cI think Julian along with our other receivers understand how to work together. That takes time. It takes investment and a lot of work. They understand how they each fit in the pass play. It could be a stack, it could be a bunch, or it could be a spread out pass play that they all understand how everybody works together. I\u2019ve often said I think the most unselfish thing a receiver can do is do the right thing away from the play when he knows he\u2019s not the intended receiver, and I think we have a group of guys that really do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>ON PHILLIP DORSETT<\/em>: \u201cWe have receivers, and Phil is definitely one of those receivers that\u2019s very intelligent. He\u2019s got good intelligence, good instincts and good awareness that allows you to do different things. Certainly, when you\u2019re working together with another player in proximity, you have the opportunity to do good things if you work well together, and that\u2019s what he\u2019s done.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>DEFENSIVE LINE COACH BRENDAN DALY<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>ON THE EXECUTION ON DEFENSIVE LINE STUNTS<\/em>: \u201cI don\u2019t know if its been a drastic improvement. I\u2019d say we\u2019ve been a work in progress there the entire season. I\u2019d say we\u2019ve had varying degrees of effectiveness the entire season. I\u2019d say it is something we\u2019ve done well over the last couple of weeks, and it\u2019s benefited us. The communication on the field between the guys that are out there has been extremely impressive to me. It\u2019s all of them working together. They\u2019ve done a great job of adapting week to week and in games, and they\u2019ve been able to communicate and get organized at a very high level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>ON ADAM BUTLER<\/em>: \u201cHe\u2019s been in the middle of most of it. And to be honest with you, people look at pass rush, and they want to look at sack numbers, then they want to look at quarterback hits and pressures. The headline-grabbing stats. There\u2019s a lot to pass rush and football period that you can\u2019t measure in stats. And Adam has done a fantastic job in terms of doing what we ask him to do in the pass rush; organizing things, communicating things because he\u2019s in the middle of it, and getting vertical in the pocket and running the various stunts and games. We\u2019ve been extremely pleased with what he\u2019s done. It wasn\u2019t a surprise to us, but he\u2019s improved a lot during the course of the season. He got to a point at the end of last season that he was doing an extremely good job on a lot of those same things. Earlier this year, I\u2019d say we weren\u2019t getting as much out of him. Part of that was scheme related, and how we used him. We could\u2019ve done a better job coaching, to be honest with you, and some of it was he could\u2019ve executed a bit better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>ON DANNY SHELTON<\/em>: \u201cDanny has worked hard. He\u2019s done a great job for us. He\u2019s been inactive at various points of the season based on what we needed to do to win that game. It may have been we didn\u2019t expect it to be a big running game, it may have been the game plan going into that game didn\u2019t have a huge role for him in it not necessarily because he isn\u2019t a good player or quality player, but based on what we were trying to do in that game. Maybe we didn\u2019t need his skill set as much as we needed someone else&#8217;s. All of that factors into active or inactive situations. If you ask me, I\u2019d take all 53 of them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>For all CLNS Patriots Videos\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCVbz7gN6HGoBXXkhIWMd3Ww\">SUBSCRIBE to our CLNS Media YOUTUBE Channel<\/a>.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>For the most in depth and comprehensive player and game analysis check out Patriots All-22 with host and Patriots beat reporter Evan Lazar.\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/patriots-all-22-new-england-patriots-nfl-game-footage\/id1272925236?mt=2\">Listen and Subscribe HERE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>Get the inside scoop on the Patriots every week on CLNS Media\u2019s Patriots Beat Podcast with host Mike Petraglia.
