We knew to expect adjustments last week. It just wasn't clear that headed into Week 2 the Patriots would adjust to the point of looking like a different offense.
According to Pro Football Reference, the Patriots were the best team in football at limiting the statistical production of opposing tight ends last season. On 86 targets, they allowed just 440 yards on 46 grabs -- both of which ranked New England at the top of the league in terms of slowing tight ends.
But Linderbaum is also light. He's listed at 305 pounds, but it's worth wondering if that number isn't a little inflated. He checked in at the combine this year at 296 pounds . Getting to Jackson and taking him down, of course, are two different things. But Barmore told me this week that in Year 2 he's been working on taking proper angles and finishing plays when he gets into an opponent's backfield.
Dealing with Campbell's length and power on the defensive right side of the line could provide Strange a headache at left guard. But he's so versatile that any number of Patriots could end up seeing Campbell by game's end. The plan for Jackson, across the league, used to be to force him to win from the pocket. Drive back his protection, tighten his space, prevent him from scrambling, and turn him into a drop-back passer. But that can't be the plan anymore. Jackson is the second-highest rated quarterback in football when playing from a clean pocket, per Pro Football Focus .
