The New England Patriots’ new defensive coaching staff has hung their hats on being a violent group this season. Perhaps no player is more ready then third-year defensive end Keion White.
“Leading with violence is always my type of style,” White said following Friday’s walkthrough. “So, whenever I can do that and not read as much, that’s definitely beneficial for me.”
In addition to the violent approach, Mike Vrabel and Terrell Williams’ new defensive system will feature a more aggressive and attacking defensive front. That should suit White and his fellow lineman well, as the emphasis is no longer to read-and-react and instead pushing up the field to make plays in the backfield.
