Kam would be on a different team.
After their superbowl hero malcolm butler showed up late to camp. They kicked his ass out for short time. Kam would have been gone after 2 weeks maxCodeWarrior":1ix1pd07 said:Purely hypothetical, of course, but I would have loved to see how the Patriots would have treated the Kam holdout situation.
I'd add in, and put it near #1, that they understand how much easier it is to ice a game offensively than it is to hold it with your defense. In other words, the best way to hold a lead is to keep buliding it. Also, their gameplans and in-game adjustments are flexible and take all personnel into account.Ramfan128":9dw2mstn said:I think they drop 1-2, but they will be favored in every game IMO. Even if the Broncos are also undefeated at the time.
As to how they do it...they have a system in place that works and a philosophy that is 2nd to none. How many players have played for the Patriots over the past 15 years (during Brady's tenure). I would guess that it would be shockingly high considering their success.
They identify a guy to build their franchise around (Brady), and do a great job getting offensive lineman to block for him - this has to be a scheme thing because it seems like it hardly matters who plays Oline for them.
And the most important thing, that Seattle should have learned from IMO, is that they let guys go. For the Patriots, their defense has been turned over what seems like every year since Brady emerged as "the guy" and got his first big contract.

And I'd actually take out the point about OL. They've had some mediocre lines; they just coach and play accordingly instead of acting like they are great.
