In this episode of Missing the Point, we dive deep into the New England Patriots' defensive performance over the first four games of the season. Despite high expectations, injuries and inconsistent play have hindered the defense's effectiveness. We discuss the lack of pass rush without key players like Matt Judon and Christian Barmore, and whether the Patriots' defense can step up.
We also evaluate the potential of Christian Gonzalez, analyzing his performance and how he compares to other top cornerbacks. Is Gonzalez ready to become New England's next great defensive star, or is there more development needed?
