The New England Patriots' defense, once a cornerstone of the team, is facing a major crisis after a tough loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Geno Smith had a field day, throwing for over 300 yards and exposing the Patriots’ secondary with the help of playmakers like DK Metcalf and Jayson Smith-Njigba. In this episode, we break down exactly what went wrong for the Patriots' defense, which held the Seahawks to just 46 rushing yards but couldn't stop the passing attack.
Injury woes continue to mount for the Patriots as they lose key linebacker Ja'Whaun Bentley for the season. With Christian Barmore sidelined and no Matthew Judon to anchor the pass rush, how can the Patriots regroup and stay competitive in the tough AFC? We discuss the impact of these injuries and explore how the defensive coaching staff, led by Jerod Mayo and Demarcus Covington, will adjust to these new challenges.
On the flip side, we explore Geno Smith's resurgence as the Seahawks’ QB1, his stunning performance, and what it means for Seattle moving forward. Are the Seahawks legitimate contenders in the NFC, and how has Smith transformed into one of the most efficient quarterbacks in the league?
Join us as we dive deep into the Patriots' defensive struggles, the looming quarterback controversy, and the rising power of the Seattle Seahawks.
