Scripting Defense at the start of the game: Questionable tactic

I mentioned, I had heard this in one of the other threads.  If this is true, I believe McDermott believes he is smarter than everyone.  Defense is dictated by down and distance.  How can you script your defense for an entire first drive.   Is he doing this to take himself out of the equation early, to free himself up to think about the entire game. If so give up the defensive play calling. Micah Hyde confirms it here.

Hyde was talking about scripted offensive plays hurting them.

As in - first drive of the game - teams are always coming in with a good 10 play script and it's been a problem all year.  He's not wrong there either.  

 

 

Yeah and the Pats got 3 on their first drive.   The interception on the next play is what really hurt.   And it was a play the Pats had anticipated.    Allen just showed a lack of polish by staring Knox down.
