First, the Redskins went with a variety of three-man rushes, dropping eight defenders into coverage. The strategy forced Brady to hold onto the football for a season-high 2.65 seconds on average in the pocket and led to pressure-induced by coverage, which was the case on Washington’s first sack.
--------------------------
On Hightower’s first sack, the Pats linebacker told me after the game that the motion by wide receiver Trey Quinn tipped him off to the play call. He saw the same concept on tape, so he knew that he could leave his coverage assignment to chase down McCoy.
------------------
On Brandon Bolden’s 29-yard touchdown catch, the Redskins sent a delayed blitz at Brady by the middle linebacker. Brady eludes the linebacker in the pocket and throws off his back foot to Bolden on the wheel route for a touchdown. The Pats cleared out the side for Bolden to work against the linebacker on a similar scheme to James White’s long catch against Buffalo last week.

^^ cut n paste from the article above. I was looking for an article on advanced stats re how many times did we drop back Anderson or Sweat or Kerrigan to drop back into coverage. I didnt find that but i found this.

Article has a bunch of videos of plays it breaks down. Really good article.

29 yard td pass to Bolden kinda epitomizes the problems w the D. MLB Holcomb comes in on a delayed blitz and has a free shot at Brady but somehow takes a bad angle or slips (wtf Cole!?) and gives Brady enough time to hit a running back who is being defended by Ryan fucking Anderson.

Stop putting Ryan Anderson, Monteaz Sweat and Ryan Kerrigan in coverage. Stop putting in sub packages where an O Coord can move guys around to get a speed guy paired up with a Ryan, Monteaz or Ryan.
