The Pats never had an Adrian Peterson or a Walter Payton yet they ran the ball well consistently. They had many short term pass catchers that were good but outside of Gronk how many go to the HOF. Even on defense he had Lawyer Milloy, Wilie McG, and Teddy B. But it was team defense. You do not beat Peyton Manning that many times because of a few defensive stars. You do it by scheming, game planning, dialing down, reviewing worst case scenarios. And then you hold players and assistants accountable. Belichick never buried himself in one phase of the game. No HC should. Do you think BB would have tolerated a ST like the one we had in 2021? Not a chance. He would have been all over it relentlessly once he saw the weakness. May not have perfected it but some heads would have been chopped before the off season..</blockquote>
