Protection sets the read sequence.
The entire NE pass offense is built around the slot as the primary read. Coverage read aside, Brady decides within 1 second where he is going with the ball, because his slot has made his break by then.
If covered, his second read is the TE. So by 1.5 seconds he fires.
We beat them at home, because Geno got to him up the middle and shook him early. So even the best QB in the game can be beat by pressure up the gut.
Our problem the past two years hasn't only been the C/OL play. Boyd hasn't panned out in the slot and our TE can't stay healthy. The Center issues have made 5 step drops challenging, let alone 7 step drops.
Dalton isn't our problem.
