The Pats offensive line has also had its share of problems with pass-blocking breakdowns. However, to place the blame squarely on his shoulders is unfair. Should the Bills add their safeties into the mix, Frazier will attempt to confuse Jones by disguising their coverages.Īdmittedly, Jones needs to enhance his setting of the protection. Addison leads the team with four sacks, while Rousseau is second with three. Tennessee Titans safety Kevin Byard was also able to cause notable disruption as a pass rusher, gaining one sack on Jones, as well as forcing a rushed incompletion.īuffalo, on the other hand, has mostly relied on defensive ends Mario Addison and Gregory Rousseau as their primary pass rushers. The Pats quarterback was sacked three times, while averaging just 4.4 pass yards per attempt against Atlanta.
The Falcons found success by utilizing cornerback Darren Hall and safety Erik Harris to blitz Jones. Both the Atlanta Falcons and Tennessee Titans (the Pats’ two previous opponents) recently had some success Though Buffalo’s safeties and corners have not been overly active in the pass rush, it is likely that defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier will take a page out of the Dean Pees’ handbook, and dial-up some strategically placed blitzes from the second and third level of the defense in hopes of confusing Jones.
