highlights takeaways Youth 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,” 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 (9:2 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.Pats Pulpit Review: “Five Rings” by Jerry Thornton To steal a phrase from another one of the better sequels in recent memory (unless you weren’t born yet when this movie came out, in which case, your hazing will be going on a beer run for the rest of us upperclassmen):This is meant as the highest of compliments: “Five Rings”, the sequel to Thornton’s 2016 retrospective “From Darkness to Dynasty”, is the perfect page-turner to read at the pool or the beach, assuming you don’t mind occasionally snort-laughing and spitting your beer out in front of everyone. It’s effortlessly pick-up-able, no matter whether you read a few chapters at night a couple days this week or crush the whole thing on a plane ride or a weekend at the lake.Also Womens Elandon Roberts Jersey , the best part?Unlike other beach reads, this one’s a true story. Not “based on a true story”. Not based on a book that’s based on a true story. Not like Rudy where it’s loosely based on a little dude that technically existed but then we find out almost nothing in the movie that all of us watched in the last week of elementary school when the teachers know that nobody’s getting shit done was true.This one? It’s true. All of it.As with all great stories, let’s start in the middle.(Nice humblebrag on the cover, by the way. “By the author of ‘From Darkness to Dynasty’, because in addition to being a writer, blogger, radio personality, and standup comedian, Jerry’s an AUTHOR now as well, you see!)Hey, it’s not bragging if it’s true.And speaking of which, after Jerry’s excellent recounting of the Patriots’ formative decades as the NFL’s case study in “You’re not even a has-been, you’re a never-was” in From Darkness to Dynasty, “Five Rings” picks up right where FDTD left off - in 2001, when everything came together beyond our wildest dreams and just a few years down the road “It’s not bragging if it’s true” might be the most modest (and polite) thing that’s ever come out of any Patriots fan’s mouth.Right from the get-go - a recollection of Thornton’s experience at the White House after the Patriots won the 28-3 Bowl - Jerry’s style immediately hits you in the mouth like Rodney Harrison as a 1:1:1 mix of ESPN’s 30 for 30, VH1’s Behind the Music, and...the original Hangover movie mixed with Deadpool and Ferris Bueller’s IDGAF fourth-wall-breaking, I guess? Diving right into the 2001 season, the section appropriately titled “O” (like 1 ring...get it? get it?) kicks off with the ‘01 Patriots team, 9/11, and Drew Bledsoe getting rocked within an inch of his life, and that’s basically the part where if the previous decades of Patriots fandom were waiting in line for the best roller coaster in Six Flags for three hours in the blazing sun, 2001 was getting all the way to the top of the first peak, throwing your hands up, and screaming your guts out in that delirious SWEET MOTHER OF PEARL THIS FREAKING RULESSSSS voice the entire rest of the ride.Remarkably, since all of us have watched the highlights from the ‘01, ‘03, and ‘04 Super Bowl victories a million times, where Five Rings really shines for the diehard fan is the “man, SO close” runs of the teams that didn’t bring it home. The ‘06 team that could’ve hung god knows how many points on Sexy Rexy and the Chicago Bears if they hadn’t blown an 18-point lead to prime Peyton Manning in Indy. ‘07 requires no explanation. And since we’ve just witnessed the Legion of Boom basically self-destruct in Seattle this past season Womens Rex Burkhead Jersey , it’s almost a piece of forgotten history at this point that Bill Belichick’s Patriots, by all logic, should have been toast when the legendary defenses of the early/mid ‘00s either all retired like Rodney Harrison and Tedy Bruschi, or got traded like Mike Vrabel and Richard Seymour. That should have been it for the Patriots dynasty. Good job, good effort, time to let someone else be the best for a while.Instead, Jerry’s recounting of the draft choices, the scheme changes, the free agent swings and misses, and Belichick zigging when everyone expected him to zag somehow hit the shortcut in Koopa Troopa Beach in Mario Kart 64, skipped all that “rebuilding” stuff, and proceeded to hang 40 points on everyone they played every week. Defense? Eh, we’ll figure that part out sooner or later. And instead of gracefully fading into mediocrity like pretty much every NFL dynasty to date has done when their OG stars hang up their spikes, New England just kept thrashing the rest of the league like a baby pitbull with a boat-rope chew toy. NO MERCY.I’m avoiding putting any snippets from the book itself in here on purpose, because A) read the damn book, and B) in the same way that you can hear a killer song from years past and go “Oh MAN!” while you’re instantly transported back to a precise moment in time, half the fun of reading Five Rings is subconsciously pairing up the Patriots’ mind-boggling twenty-year run of stuffing the rest of the league in a locker with whatever else was going on in your life at the time. The Super Bowl parties you remember. The parties you don’t remember. The family, the friends, the games you shivered through or sweat through or road-tripped to. The part where we learned losing championships to the Giants twice in five seasons really can make us feel dead inside. And the part in 2014 where Brady and - wait for it - another team that was equal parts homegrown talent, free agents from the Island of Misfit Toys, and one *extremely high-priced former enemy turned brother, stared down what was, at the time, the largest comeback in Super Bowl history (they were down 10 points!) and Bill was on the sidelines keeping it like this:You know what happened next.Job well done, Jerry, and we all hope your title is out of date really, really soon.PATS PULPIT OFFICIAL REVIEW SCORE:
