Regarding Patricia, the Pats defense is bizarre statistically

yards per attempt - 31st best
points allowed - 5th best
Pct of drives ending in a score - 6th best
Turnovers -25th best
Sacks - 10th best
Penalties - 24th best

So Negatives:
Give up yards
Don't create turnovers
Create penalties

Positives
Sack the QB
Don't allow points

Not sure if they simply go with a bend but don't break approach - if they just are really tough in the Red Zone - whatever. I don't watch a lot of Pats games.

He's a very smart guy, he's been working under Belicheck for awhile. Considering Gettleman wants to become old school tough in the trenches, play northeast football, I can see why tehy might hire him. He's from NY, has that Northeast mentality, has a degree in aeronautical engineering so he's not an "idiot", hopefully he would be smart enough to know clock management.

I guess he's OK for me as long as he finds a quality offensive coordinator. The bottom line for me is this draft is absolutely huge for this franchise. The draft, along with what Gettleman does to this roster before preseason is the biggest story of the year for the franchise, more than the head coach.
