Bill Belichick has innovated his defense again, and they are once again one of the best defenses in football. Despite the fact that they are devoid of superstar talent, Belichick has them playing as a top 5 unit, and the way he does it is quite unique. The Patriots use “Dime” personnel packages more than any other defenses in the league, and it’s what has set them apart. This week’s episode uses the coaches all 22 to analyze New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick’s innovations on defense.

#billbelichick #nfl #patriots
Alright guys, the AFC East got some love in the comments as the *actual* top division in football, and it’s honestly hard to get mad at that. I feel like any of these teams besides Buffalo could finish anywhere from 1-4. Let me know where you agree or disagree Bills Dolphins Jets Patriots
Do you remember how Pats lost HFA in last drive of the last game in 2019 season? Do you remember how Pats lost to Raiders and Packers last season after leading 24-17 in 4th quarters? You mean *the PAPER TIGER defense that routinely collapsed in 4th quarters?* He was genius in the rocks on the shoulders of his fans ONLY BECAUSE they completely ignore his bad times. 2002 SB against Rams (Brady saved him); 2004 SB against Panthers (Brady saved him); 2007 AFCCG against Colts; 2008 SB against Giants; 2012 SB against Giants; 2015 SB against Seahawks (Brady’s 28 points and Pete Carrol saved him); 2018 SB against Eagles; 2019 AFCCG against Chiefs (Brady saved him).
Both NFC and AFC East are scary divisions to play against, and even more scary to be within.
BB was genius behind Brady. Now, he’s average.
@@kyleneighbors6386 seems like bill handled the defense and brady carried the offense
@@TwenOalley His defense routinely collapsed in 4th quarter, and couldn't be relied on to win 2 playoff games. He is a master at feeding on lousy offense, experienced QB and 1-dimen offense though.
People underestimate the genuis of Belicheck he's one of the goats for a reason especially defensively
Who had the number one defense last season?
@@Regular689defense was top 5 last season
Only Brady nuthuggers do this. Most people outside of Brady fans know and appreciate what he brought to the game and def the Pats sustained success over the 2000s
@@dominicharris5489 perfect example of the guys who think BB would go on to have more success than the qb.
@@Regular689 dont b an idiot
I wish you talked about their ability to defend the run with small guys on the field
Yeah, feels like this would be death against e.g. the Titans. Imagine Henry running over all those DBs...
Bill still loves his nose tackle type DTs.
They're hybrid dbs that have enough size and hit hard
Duggar is a safety who can play lb and mapu is a lb who can play safety
That's where guys like Bentley and Tavai come in. Big downfield LBs who are good at stopping the run. You also have Guy and Godeaux.
Now you see why the Patriots place a high premium on defensive backs more than any other team in the league rather than pass rushers.
But conveniently enough they patriots actually have a good pass rush right now. 😂. They have a really good edge rusher Duo.
@@maskedman5657What I’m saying is that the Patriots almost never use first round or even second round picks on pass rushers.
@@JahNuhThunDeeTheOneAndOnly I agree.
@@JahNuhThunDeeTheOneAndOnly That’s how you know keion white is a destroyer. Bill used a 2nd round pick
Belichick can’t even make the playoffs without Brady. He’s a bumb.
As a Ravens fan, people really need to stop underestimating Belichick because his team is going to be ready for the season especially defensively because they added pieces through the draft which are going to contribute. I do think the Patriots could win 10 or nine games. The offense just has to be good enough somewhere in 15th or 12th in the league
I don't think people do. The issue is that his teams are always mediocre record wise because the complimentary play doesn't transfer well to the offense post or pre Tom Brady.
@@razorbeard6970 that's fair and that's kind of been my criticism of Belichick is he always puts the defense first over the offense because we've seen him kick out money for big-time defensive players but never on the offense, I believe Mac Jones can be a starting quarterback, I don't know if he's been given enough Firepower to succeed.
Last place in the AFC East coming have been saying it was all Brady since 2007 and been proven 100% right he’s a great defensive coordinator mediocre head coach like a lot of DCs that get promoted
Offense isn’t there but defense is talented. Can’t wait to see what Todd Monken does with Lamar Jackson
East basement boys
Watching this after the eagles game. If the offense didn’t have two turnovers then the whole world would be talking about how this defense just clamped a top 3 offense and made the best O Line look like Swiss cheese for part of it
Hugely appreciate the terminology explanations. People throw em around all the time, but few do a good job explaining them.
Yessir, that's what this channel is all about!
What still blows my mind is this dude has had utter dominance for the past 20 years and now that he's had a few bad years ppl are calling for his job.
@@willmuny9201smh this video itself is evidence of his contributions to the teams over the years. Don’t be a numbskull and put 20 years of excellence all on Brady.
@@willmuny9201 yeah it’s almost like the greatest qb ever lands on your team you’re going to do a lot of winning! Is Andy Reid any less of a coach without pat? Granted he had more success but didn’t win a championship, the ultimate goal, until pat showed up.
@@willmuny9201 did he win a championship? Nope.
@@willmuny9201 and let’s not forget what bill did before his time on the patriots. Stop acting like he’s useless. In a league where qbs are essential to winning it makes sense that once a great one is on your team you will get far.
@@willmuny9201 I’m not attacking I’m using him as a comparison. Two head coaches who’s careers were altered by all time great qbs. Let’s not act like Andy Reid’s legacy wasn’t in jeopardy due to his inability to win a championship.
Ridiculously consistent at putting together top five defenses
LOL, the paper tiger defense. Haven't you seen enough from last 3 seasons?
@@williamli6200 Its still a top 10 group even if you consider their cupcake schedule and the QBs they faced in the past 2 regular seasons. BB on defense performs on par with offenses he can beat and can sorta hang with explosive pass offenses. Though its difficult to deny them overall but other defenses fielding better talent with a so so defensive coach have underachieved far often.
@@t4d0W "performs on par with offenses he can beat and can sorta hang with explosive pass offenses." In 2019, his defense allowed amazing 61 points in first 8 games, but 164 games in next 8 games. *He put ALL of his resource to take away your best weapons.* Such strategy works perfectly against lousy offense, inexperienced QB and 1-dimen QB (ike Peyton Manning before 2007). But once opponent QB does something away from his usually, Belichick had no answer.
@@t4d0W Because of his inability of making adjustments against multi-dimensional offense (like Bills with Allen, Ravens with Lamar) or when opponent offense does something he usually doesn't do, (opponents often do it in 4th quarters), Belichick's defense routinely collapsed in 4th quarters, like in SB against Bills in 1991, like in SB 2002 against Rams, like against Panthers in SB 2004, like against Peyton in 2nd half of 2008 AFCCG, like in SB against Eagles in 2018, like in 2nd half of 2018 AFCCG against Mahomes. That is why he was never able to achieve anything without Parcel's offense or Brady's offense.
@@williamli6200 LIke I wrote is difficult to take away multi-dimensional aliens at QB like Allen for 4 quarters. Few tested defenses have fared better and opposing teams that have had success has an offense on the other side to pound away on the Bills glass defense themselves. I don't know what the points example is suppose to correlate. Even the 'best' defenses in previous years gets dunked on by great passing offenses. What is important is how the defense play callers navigate the game plans on a weekly basis and have a plan to attack late passing downs and find pressures on QB along with adapting to their personnel. And BB has navigated all that with the best of the those defensive style coaches. *That is why he was never able to achieve anything without Parcel's offense or Brady's offense.* So you are telling me you need to be dynamic and balanced on both sides of the ball to have a high ceiling to win the Conference champ game and even the SB? No shit Sherlock tell me more about your swell observations. I'll bet it tracks well with the 3-4 previous SB winners too!
Mapu and Gonzales will be two names that I’ll be exited to hear in the next patriots defense video.
Don’t forget Keion White he’s gonna be a monster
Gonzales is an obvious high floor talent in a draft class of good corners. Mapu you may not hear for awhile until year 3 which he hopefully grows as a starter. I was keeping track of these defensive picks from BB which seemed 'ludicrous' then (Dugger who was a Div II stand out in the 2nd round was called as a reach by many). But some of these day 2-3 picks may not have panned out. Uche was nearly forgotten until he put on a helluva season last year and showing off his really good bend getting at the QB. Barmore has the athleticism but isn't exactly a 3-down lineman yet. Ronnie Perkins and Anfernee Jennings are situational big linebackers. JoeJuan Williams despite his size and supposed athleticism can't play.
Dugger is such a ballsy underrated pick, Pats may have their franchise leader defensively. Dugger has done nothing but show out since day 1. Bill develops this hybrid players so well.@@t4d0W
If only he could do this with the offense
I think that's the reason why he bring Bill O'Brien back
Need a "Tom Brady Jr."
@@motoreese9431 there's never going to be another Brady in this lifetime. I think Mac Jones can be a starting quarterback in this league but the issue I have is well Belichick didn't put enough resources around him to succeed like the other young quarterbacks in this league.
the man winning 6 rings with the defense being the catalyst for the sustained success and you saying this is wild😂. He would be the best coach in sports history is he was this with the offense AND defense
@thecharmcityplayerbrandona8827 Outside of the OL, Bill has put more than enough around Mac to succeed. Yes, they don't have a number one, but if you can't succeed with Juju, Bourne, Parker, Henry, Geisicki, Rhamondre, and Elliott. Than a number 1 WR want help you.
this was a great little analysis. very educational.
Thanks Chris!
ima jets fan and ppl need to stop writing bill off like he isn’t the best coach in the league. consistently he’s putting out a great defense and molding it in so many ways. i hate to say it but the pats are on the prowl. don’t overlook him
He was the worst at hiring coaches last year unfortunately, hard to do much when you have Matt P on O
@@abc123po Still almost made the playoffs
14 Head Coaches in the league right now all better than him. Nowhere near the best coach at all.
@@PeanutButterAndJellyBroslol
@@goofygoob0373 his team was eliminated from playoff contention well before the final game of the reg season and knocked selves out of the playoff hunt with the dumbest hook and lateral attempt in nfl history...belichick will get fired or be asked to step down by next February...they have a roster theyll be lucky to finish 3rd in the afc east with and thats 100%Bill's fault...he will have gone 5yrs in a row without a playoff win by the next NFL Black Monday

Thanks brother!
Its incredible to see what he has done over the years. His defense looks nothing like the Ty Law, McGinest, Bruschi, Lawyer Milloy, R. Seymour, era... People have covered videos of how the league copied his fronts but he is doing it with d list celebrities. Most teams / fanbases would shit their pants if they had the rosters he seems to endlessly make top 5/10.
I think the personnel also gets really underappreciated. They might not have the same star power as other teams, but about 9 guys who I'd say are at least above average starters and close to like 17 who are guys who'd be starting on most teams, with a great blend of holdovers from before Tom Brady left (Deatrich Wise Jr., JuWhaun Bentley), free agency acquisitions (Davon Godchaux, Matthew Judon, Jalen Mills, Adrian Phillips, Jabrill Peppers), and draft picks (Christian Barmore, Kyle Dugger, Josh Uche, etc;). Each of their top three picks (Gonzalez, Keion White and Marte Mapu) are all guys with awesome upside and all directly fill holes that the defense had last year, and honestly it just feels like each year since about 2018, Belichick has been just working to get closer and closer to the perfect defense.
So many haters and sleepers the new Patriots are about to put the AFC on notice. We got a pretty stacked team when you look at all the names. Top 3 defense. An offensive coordinator to get Mac back on track. Watch out
I cant imagine the butt kicking Jack Jones had to endure from Old man Bellicheck for getting arrested during the offseason.
Great video bro
Thanks brother!
100k right around the corner bro🔥🔥🔥
Thanks brother, I'm so ready!
Great video, 00:39 The meta offense for the league is heavy passing attack so it’s probably why he has extra DBs in the dime package. However, it leaves you vulnerable to run attacks but since teams are turning RBs into an ancillary position his risk came to fruition.
Yeah I remember mcvay used a run scheme against belichick and it dismantled his defense
@@dakrushain 2 games against BB sean mcvays offenses have scored 3 and 24 points
@@JohnDoe-rr1fz doesnt make what i said wrong, cam akers middle of the road rb had a 171 yard run game against that defence scheme. i can smell the bias here.
@@JohnDoe-rr1fzI think that was mostly because they refused to hand the ball off to Gurley
BB's dime package setup is meant for passing downs and even has the setup to fight 3rd down play action formations with the potential post snap change up. He doesn't default to it like teams playing sub packages (nickel) as default. BB will keep the big bodies at LB in early downs and at least the first half. The versatility comes of the package shows up against the pass because he can still play man but has safeties to play short coverages and still being able to pass off receivers to other DBs like zone esque assignments.
Hey great job illustrating the defensive schemes and the philosophies being pursued by Belichick
He innovated his defense so well that he let a defensive coach call offensive plays all last year
And yet they were literally a botched lateral away from making the playoffs for the second time in three years post Brady. Offense finished 17th in PPG. What’s the other 15 teams excuse for scoring less?
😂😂
Ouch. Lol
im glad they are getting jc back in there imma look out for this package cool vid
It’s gotta be so fun being a defensive player on the patriots
Your videos and Baldy's breakdowns are my go-to as far as analysis goes
Thanks brother!
He’s still a genius especially on defense. He’s still trying to figure things out on offense since Brady left but something tells me he’s going to figure it out.
Im a Pats fan but hes had chances to solidify this offense with a #1 WR. I believe in BB always have he has a good track record of doing things everyone disapproves of but end up being the right thing to do. (Trading Chandler Jones and Jaime Collins)
as a giants fan i never understood the disrespect he gets he is the only headcoach thats knowledgeble in two phases of the game
I love your content, Alex! What’s the name of the song at the end?
Thanks Darius! It's called Deception by OneTone Beats
Not a pats fan, but I’ve noticed the same with them throughout the last few years. They play with a lot of speed and DBs, and almost try to trick you into throwing because they’ll crowd the LOS as well. Seems like a simple idea, but the fact most teams aren’t doing it as much and having as much success it is probably very difficult to consistently execute. Just a GOAT being a GOAT (Bill Bell.)
Bill Bell = BB= Goat 🐐
This probably will never happen, but I'd love to see Bill get someone like Isaiah Simmons and make some quarter packages with 7 DBs and 3 DL, and have Simmons alternate between coverage and blitzing.
I agree!
I remember the Chicago game last year and how the Bears ran right down their throat with that dime package
I've been studying the Saban defense and obviously him and Bill have a long history. They run similar concepts and nobody has as many coverages as Saban/ Belichick. Both love the Sink front (Bear) and Dime. I agree 100% about Dugger. He's the film nerds favorite young safety. His versatility fits Belichick perfectly
It's fun seeing BB mix in a little cover 7, still amazing that he's able to play as much Cover 1 as he is, but he puts those little tweaks on it that makes it difficult for the QB every single down
@@AlexRollinsNFL Yup. You can see similarities with the Rat technique. Also in the RZ with the mysterious Red 2. The play where Bryant passed off the slant and almost intercepted it looked like Saban's Oklahoma tag. Saban's defense has my head swimming and I couldn't teach it or execute it. The fact that they have such complex schemes but get such a high level of execution is amazing. Yes, Cover 1 (which they call Cov 0 with no low hole player) is the best call in football
Dugger flashing some Reed-like greatness on some of those plays.
Awesome video - go pats!
Thanks!
Hr also likes to pick up safeties that are a bit heavy and between safeties and lbs to roam the middle and still be able to tackle a rb at full speed
I already like Mack Jones, even before the start of NFL season. The way to a great season for the Patriots is for every department and every specialty team to perform. That's what Bill Belacheck did exceptionally during the years with Brady as QB. Another way is to to protect the quarterback and to prevent him from being sacked; almost every time. This way the Quarterback will perform even better at the next ball game of the Patriots. He will perform and throw highly accurate accurate fast throws to all catchers to the best of his abilities. Every time a quarterback is sacked, there is a chance he may not perform as well if injured during a sack or two.
I will comeback to this video at the end of the season.
These videos are awesome! They make me interested in watching teams, to watch these schemes, that I usually wouldn't be interested in watching. Major networks should adopt more of this in-depth analysis, to bring in more interest, instead of always catering to casual, surface-level fans, fantasy watchers, and gamblers.
Thanks Thomas!
Its all about "Development" with coach B, He could take 5 semi good athletes from Anywhere and make them Great Football players.
Always wondered why 6 DB's was a Dime package. Saw a video that explained 5th DB is called a Nickle Back. 6 DB's = 2 Nickles = 1 Dime. Blew my mind lol.
OH SHIT
this is why running qb's give Him so much trouble. I used to use Dime packs and Nickle in my Madden games. but now I get why he has tough times with running qbs. thx
I think this is what Pete is trying to do in Seattle as well. He has so many good defensive backs such Woolen, Witherspoon, Bryant, Jackson, Tre, Diggs, Adams, and Love
@unrnud1452 Over the past 2 years they have been deploying different coverages and mixing it up more often than before. They are running a new zone matching, nickel pass coverage which is a more aggressive approach compared to carrols old conservative approach. He's trying to modernize his defense and keep up with the times. Fun fact: They have the 4th highest percentage of cover 2 cover 4 and cover 6 in the nfl.
Pete runs a lot of zone. We like to run man coverage, with Gonzalez we can
@Kittonwy yeah I was more talking about the versatility of his players and having players that play multiple roles in coverage just as Bill is with his players
@unrnud1452 yes I agree that it hasn't been ad successful as they hope but I think it was more of a personnel issue. I dont think they had the right players that fit the system. Along with that they didint have a healthy jamal adams and Bobby Wagner was with the Rams. I have faith in them. It takes several years for a new system to be fully implemented.
@@unrnud1452 Makes sense too because Desai was in charge of the coverage stuff but Hurtt was still the play caller. Now Desai is gone and they definitely do not have the trench talent in D-line to be consistently stout against the run. So familiarity is going to be their best asset with the guys they have and their linebackers as well.
George Allen was doing this in the 60s.
It's interesting that for all the fluid innovations in his defensive philosophy, he's seemingly stuck w/ the Okie front, instead of switching to a Tite front, especially in combination w/ Mint and dime packages. I'm guessing that the extra pressure brought by their D precludes much of the need for clogging both B gaps, b/c it essentially ends up doubling as a run blitz.
Could you guys imagine, even for a second... if he got his hands on an Ed Reed / Sean Taylor / Derwin James level saftey? Good gravy 🤌
Can you talk about the falcons offense?
O tackle, Tyrone Wheatley Jr. from cleveland OT Vederian Lowe from the Vikings, BB is a genius
Let's see how good he looks with the Oline he has this year.
The defensive stats also decreased because they spent 40+ mins on the field every game
Wait this is so cool. I'm excited for the Eagles week 1 game
I’m glad you brought this video to life. The collection of players they have gives this scheme a dimension not many others can have. Excited to see what this defense can do with (hopefully) a competent offense and special teams can do to give them more breaks and better field position.
Enjoy this as always. So much emphasis on offense these days. Good to see the D gets paid too
The Patriots, defensive line is going to be a lot more better than it was last year because they added a guy by the name of keion white who was drafted in the second round who can play inside and out along with being a physical freak of nature.
Did you forget how good Josh Uche and Matt Judon was?
@@maskedman5657 Jet defense rated 3 (added Rogers to offense) Bills defense ranked 9 Miami ranked defense 11
@@leesimmons8856 why are you telling me this?
@@maskedman5657 Because it does not matter how good the D-line is going to be. Every team in the division has a good defense. Belichick is supposed to build a good total team.
@@leesimmons8856 your reasoning is whack. A dline man does matter when it comes to defense. Your points and your premise don't make sense man
Unless you have elite cover linebackers you get torched
Nick Saban and Bill Belichick are good freinds. That defense is Cover 7 and the Alabama use the same defense.
Yeah, BB doesn't run c7 too much, but he definitely does here and there. Saban is the real king of it
“You know everyone thinks we such and you know, can’t win any games. So we’ll see, it’ll be fun.” Keep sleeping on Foxboro🔥🐐💯
anyone else have the audio cut in and out the whole video. I thought I was lagging, but it has plenty of buffer and the 4 ads that played all had no issues, my internet connection is great... is it just in the video file, I havent seen this happen before.
Dam I hope not, I'm sorry that happened! What times in the video was it messing up for you?
I think Marte Mapu is another guy who really can fit into this
Where is the other line marker at 2:35?
What do you mean? I put some rings at 2:35 but that's all I see
top 5 defense is kinda crazy
I’ve wondered for 30 years why teams don’t do this. My rule would always be that they would have to beat me on the ground. It’s hard to carry out a long drive.
I agree with you in that teams would go on the ground, but I don't think teams could major in it after they get pounded into oblivion. Belichick has found that balance
what percentage of snaps does he play dime? and on average how many snaps is that per week?
22%, 242 snaps on the year, which comes out to about 14 per game. Pretty substantial
Sitting our number 1 corner during the superbowl was the icing on the cake for me. Brady threw for over 505 yards and 3 tds. Bill threw the game for his own personal reasons, which to this day nobody knows.
How many super bowls would brady have even made it to without bill shutting down multiple top 20 all time offenses. Colts always avg more points than brady when they faced but bill held Manning down for those wins. Greatest show on turf, falcons were scoring 35 bill only gave up 21, rams were scoring 30 bill gave up 3.
I wish the eagles used more dime with the DBS they got
This video was dope, its always cool to see just how unique the Patriots System is. Especially on defense, knowing Its Bill B running the show back there. I still don't understand the comments saying hes an ass head coach without Brady....... Like You lose the GREATEST QB IN NFL HISTORY and see how easy it is to bounce back. Its Not like he can go out and draft another one. Especially since the Pats are never the 1-5 picks in the draft. At this point its goofy of you to think.
Run the ball, throw a screens.. force the defense up and try a shot deep.
A guy like julian love would be a great trade for this type of defense
Belichick can still coach a great defense. The problem is their offense cant score more than 8 points a game with Tom Brady.
see "gritz blitz"
BB’s genius is he never or rarely plays a true cover zero, it’s more like a cover zero drop meaning if he rushes 6 vs 5 the 1 rusher who gets blocked drops immediately as soon as he’s engaged. Let’s the free guy have an easy rush to the QB and basically creates a 4v5 rush
I always will say: In Belichick we trust!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my man!!! God bless you. And long live Bill.... And to hell with these invaders passing themselves off as pats fans that just want to tear off the final piece of the dynasty. which would no doubt bring a forty year storm.
Brady is obviously Brady but these fanatics who dismiss what Belichick has done just to prop up Brady as more than a QB really don't understand how this football thing works. Why do people act like they know what's happening from a TV broadcast angle?
Was the Cover 0 with Zone, the Pats used against the Eagles this past week (week 1) a new wrinkle?
This is what Darnold means when he sees "ghosts" lol
Will see if we can stop the run
Jet defense rated 3 (added Rogers to offense) Bills defense ranked 9 (Josh Allen at QB) Miami ranked defense 11 ( Tua is coming back)
This reminds me of the old Ravens defense except Bill is doing all the moving, shifting and versatility in the secondary when the old Ravens did it with the front 7. Smart defense really.
"I'm seeing ghosts." - Sam Darnold
So what yer sayin is . . .Bill doesn't like to have any opponents Wide-Ass-Open :) Nice video. I was a Pats fan prior to, and all through the Brady years. As much as people laud Tom, Bill's D has typically always been there.
Maybe he should innovate the o line
Cover Zero with Dugger and Mapu on the field should provide some real brain fart moments from QBs. I can see this tricking Hurts at times, but for how long before he starts to read it better? It's going to be a test with those great receivers, but it's going to be a test for Hurts too.
Thanks Alex! Even though you disrespected my QB like that. I still support you!
Haha thanks for the (still) support brother!
Belichick's defense is best exemplified with him at the podium giving post-game comments
Judon is Patriots best defender as of right now but I think Dugger is the key piece that unlocks it. Wouldn’t be surprised if Dugger is the best defender on the Pats at the end of the season.
3:38 🤣🤣🤣
howd he do it? he pulled out the camera for the third time
*"With his Kermit-ass voice"* My wife who doesn't even watch football Saw Mahomes on TV one day and was randomly like.... "That guys voice pisses me off !" 😂😭💀 Great video BTW. Bill catches hell from fellow Patriots fans lately and I'm like are you guys NOT seeing the ridiculousness of this Patriots defense???
Hah thanks brother!
This year can be a #1 defense in the league
Naw. They would need a Nick Bosa type guy for that.
Def not top 5. Top 10 most definitely. Last time the Pats had a legit #1 defense they were *FLUSHED* with defensive talent and that was ages ago.
When you think about the name dime defense. Its just two nickels.
Still sub .500 without Brady as Patriots coach.
Kyle Dugger is the most underrated defensive player in the entire league tbh
Being free from Matt Patricia helps.
