Re: How do the Patriots defend the deep ball? Can Flacco have deep ball success against them?
That's great. But does nothing to counter the fact that you didn't face much top notch QB/WR talent.
Which means you haven't really been tested. So how can you trust the recent results? When those results include Sanchez and Henne and Tannehill 4 times? Along with big name WRs such as Kerley and Hartline?

Re: How do the Patriots defend the deep ball? Can Flacco have deep ball success against them?
See the problem is that before Talib got to NE, even scrubs were feasting on our secondary.
And what made our deep end better was not Talib really, it was the fact that we could move McCourty over at safety. He's added range with his speed and he plays the pass a lot better when he's facing the QB. You gotta understand, before we had Patrick Chung back there trying to play the pass. He's freaking awful. Then we tried Wilson who is a rookie and he was getting burned too.
Talib and the emergence of rookie Dennard at the other CB spot allowed McCourty to move at S and also allowed Arrington to move to slot, who was just awful outside. We're still not "great" at defending the pass, but definitely a lot better.
