I haven't seen any evidence other than fan talk that McDaniels is demanding roster control. If that is what he wants he won't get it here and I'd have a hard time believing he'd get it anywhere else. He needs to prove himself as a HC.

There is not a lot of traction behind Matt Patricia... I'm not sure he is looking to leave NE.
I still like Brian Schottenheimer for our OC, it will provide some level of continuity for Luck and Brissett. Then a candidate like Matt Patricia would make sense as an HC. |

if he is looking for GM level control of the roster, then he clearly didnt learn from one of his major mistakes.

The thing about Patricia in NE is, their defense really is not that good.
Yes, in points per game they are among the tops, but I really don't know how they do it, if you look at their individual stats, which are not that impressive. They get a fair number of sacks, which helps, they are like 7th in that stat In yardage they are near the bottom In defensive passer rating they are middle of the pack, actually worse than the colts Their yards per play if 5.7, again near the bottom and not much different than the Colts. They were not great at creating turnovers. They give up 4.7 yards per rush They seem to benefit from good red zone D, which is great, maybe a bend but don't break mentality, and maybe just luck........opponents somehow only his 22/31 FGs against them, which seems oddly low in this day and age. I know they play in an outdoor stadium, but still, that does not affect the whole season. They were among the top ten in TDs allowed at 33. Plus they benefit from the offense not turning the ball over much, so fewer short fields and bad situations. If you just stripped away though Points per game stat and looked at the rest, one would not judge them to be among the best in the league. I know PPG is really all that matters in the end, but when you are talking about moving to a new team in a new situation, the other stuff does start to matter. Football outsiders, I know some don't like it, but have them ranked as the #31 defense this year. |
