Gresh and Zo kick off Thursday’s show talking about the pulse of the New England Patriots defense.

Does New England have enough on the back end of the defense to win in the playoffs? Will their make-shift secondary hold up against the league’s better teams?

What about all the games where the Patriots faced early deficits? Does coming back all those times in the regular season hurt the Pats, or work to their benefit? Can they rest their hats on their ability to come back, or should they be worried about their showing in the first 15-minutes?

And does the Patriots team have confidence in the defense to step up and make plays for them?
