"We gave up too many big plays defensively," said head coach Jerod Mayo. "Did a better job in the run game. Gave up too many big plays tackling, scheme, whatever you want to call it. Just overall execution defensively just wasn't good enough."
The Patriots defense played arguably its worst game of the season on Sunday, continuing to be trending in the wrong direction against the Dolphins.
Marcus Jones should be a slot corner, for example, instead of regularly moving to the outside. Linebackers were getting gashed all day in coverage.
The coaches and players both have to be better moving forward, because there is some talent on the defensive side of the ball, but they haven't played like it this season.
