From USA Today: "Pattern matching — which, was the brainchild of Belichick and some former assistant named Nick Saban — is a combination of man and zone defenses, where defenders are responsible for certain areas on the field (that’s the zone part) but end up matching up with receivers based on the routes they run (the man part)."
For the defensive minds out there, does anyone know if we attempt to employ this technique (when healthy), or are we straight zone when we play it?
