Bolden ran a wheel route on linebacker Shaq Thompson, and Jones put it on him for 28 yards.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 788px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-91513-2\" width=\"788\" height=\"443\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/HenryThirdDown.mp4?_=2\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/HenryThirdDown.mp4\">https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/HenryThirdDown.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Patriots also had a 43 percent success rate on third-down pass plays against an excellent third-down pass defense, with Jones finding Hunter Henry to beat a blitz here.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">New England\u2019s passing struggles are coming at a good time with the defense and running game finding a rhythm over the last few weeks.

See a pattern?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">New England\u2019s execution in zone is improving, and they\u2019re able to hide lesser man-coverage talent in their cornerback group by playing mostly cover-three against the Panthers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 788px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-91513-5\" width=\"788\" height=\"443\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/PatsZoneThirdDown.mp4?_=5\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/PatsZoneThirdDown.mp4\">https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/PatsZoneThirdDown.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Here, Darnold reads off-coverage on the outside and wants to throw a deep curl to D.J. Moore at the top of the screen. However, safety Kyle Dugger drops off the line and into the passing window as a hook\/curl defender, forcing Darnold to hold the ball in the pocket.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Patriots\u2019 zone coverage will play out like man on the outside when receivers run vertical routes, and it does stress linebackers in zone-drops on running backs out of the backfield.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">But this is a classic Belichick move to adapt to his personnel by recognizing that the Patriots no longer have the cover talent to man up on good skill groups as they have in years past.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The adjustment is more zone coverage, allowing their versatility and J.C. Jackson\u2019s ball-hawking abilities to take over games. For now, it\u2019s working.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Also, let&#8217;s just take a second to admire what a ridiculous interception this was by Pats linebacker Jamie Collins. One of those plays where when it happens to you in Madden, you scream that something like that only occurs in video games, and shut off the XBox out of anger.
