Authentic Rob Gronkowski Jersey , Josh Gordon touchdown in film breakdown of Colts game After every New England Patriots win, head coach Bill Belichick joins radio color commentator and ex-Patriots quarterback Scott Zolak for a film breakdown of the action. This week, the duo took a look at five pivotal plays from the team’s 38-24 victory over the visiting Indianapolis Colts.2-6-IND 6 (1:37) (Shotgun) T.Brady pass short middle to J.White for 6 yards, TOUCHDOWN.“It really starts with the quarterback,” Belichick says about running back James White’s second quarter touchdown that put the Patriots up 21-3. Against the Colts’ cover 2 defense, the head coach highlights Tom Brady’s ability to manipulate the defense with his eyes to create space for his running back. “Tom does a great job here of looking over to the three receivers – the strong side of the formation – and draws the linebacker over, and that creates space.” Brady moving the linebacker left White wide open on the other side of the formation.1-10-IND 44 (5:10) A.Luck pass short left to J.Wilkins to IND 48 for 4 yards (D.McCourty). FUMBLES (D.McCourty), RECOVERED by NE-D.McCourty at 50. D.McCourty to 50 for no gain (Q.Nelson).“Nothing better than turning the ball over,” Belichick said about the second play he and Zolak took a look at: safety Devin McCourty’s forced fumble and recovery in the third quarter. New England’s head coach starts by praised his defense for defending the deep pattern down the field before praising McCourty for his open-field tackling. “This would have been a good tackle even without the fumble,” Belichick said. “As he makes the tackle, you can see he has great presence and awareness to get the ball out.”1-10-NE 49 (7:25) (No Huddle, Shotgun) A.Luck pass short right intended for Z.Pascal INTERCEPTED by J.Jones (J.McCourty) at NE 38. J.Jones pushed ob at IND 34 for 28 yards (B.Smith).Belichick starts by praising the pass rush by second-year men Deatrich Wise Jr. and Adam Butler, which forces quarterback Andrew Luck out of the pocket. After the Colts’ passer delivered the football, cornerbacks Jason McCourty and Jonathan Jones combined for the interception: “Jason makes a nice play on the ball here, where he wraps his arm around and pops it up,” Belichick noted before also praising defensive tackle Danny Shelton for not risking a block in the back penalty during Jones’ return of the pick.1-10-IND 34 (7:15) (Shotgun) S.Michel left guard for 34 yards, TOUCHDOWN.On the very first play after the interception, Sony Michel scored a 34-yard touchdown run – and again Belichick starts by taking a look at the the men up front. “It starts with the double-team block between Joe [Thuney] and Trent Brown Youth Tom Brady Jersey ,” Belichick said before also praising the efforts by Shaq Mason and Rob Gronkowski creating a lane for the first-round rookie. “Good kickout block here by Shaq, Rob does a nice job.”1-10-IND 34 (9:28) T.Brady pass deep right to J.Gordon for 34 yards, TOUCHDOWN.Belichick and Zolak then go back to an earlier fourth quarter play: Tom Brady’s 34-yard touchdown pass to Josh Gordon. “This was kind of like the coup de grace here,” Belichick said of the play. “Gordon does a nice job adjusting here and Tom makes a good throw to the corner of the end zone,” Belichick said about the score which gave the quarterback 500 career touchdown passes and an NFL record with 71 different receivers hit for scores.To watch video of the breakdown, please visit patriots.com.For the Patriots, it’s now or never I don’t want to beat a dead horse and am aware that it is just the fourth week of the NFL season, however, with Sunday nights loss in Detroit, the Patriots have no other choice than to wake up.Bill Belichick always stresses that winning games comes down to the three areas of the game; offense, defense and special teams, and right now, the Patriots aren’t producing in any of those areas.The defense hasn’t been able to stop a nose bleed, getting torched both through the air and on the ground, however, a lot of those struggles are large in part that the offense can’t string together any drives. Week one the Patriots defense looked really well and most of that was because the Patriots did what they did best by controlling the clock. Everyone knows that the one way to beat the Patriots is to keep the ball out of 12’s hands and make them play from behind by tiring out the Patriots defense early in the game, which is what the Jaguars and Lions did perfectly. I hate saying this in week four, but this week is a ‘must-win’ game. With Miami having a chance to gain a three game lead in the division and oozing with confidence with Ryan Tannehill’ returning from missing all of last year. With games against Kansas City http://www.patriotsauthorizedshop.com/authentic-devin-mccourty-jersey , Green Bay, Chicago, Minnesota, Tennessee, Pittsburgh and Miami again, the Patriots schedule isn’t the easiest. I am a firm believer in Belichick’s strategy of treating the first four weeks as almost an extended pre-season in terms of finding the guys who work in different schemes and sets, however, this year looks different. Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski seem frustrated, you could tell from the pressers after Sunday’s loss. They need Josh Gordon and Julian Edelman to return to the form they are capable of if they want to move the ball down the field, and the veterans on the defense need to take accountability and step it up.With a huge divisional game coming up this week, I fully expect a ‘Cincinnati 2014 Week 5’ performance from both Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski to silence all the critics out there. However, with a very tough road ahead, if the patriots don’t turn this around soon, we could be in for a long, and much different fall and winter than past.Like we always say though, In Tom and Bill We Trust.
