The Patriots used a 4-3 defense in Monday night's opener, with Tully Banta-Cain starting at right defensive end.
TBC had four tackles (three solo) and a game-high two sacks. Ty Warren was at left end, while Jarvis Green and Vince Wilfork started inside. Derrick Burgess rotated in heavily, finishing with three solo stops and a sack. The 4-3 allows the Pats to get upfield more, and involves less gap control.
