Again, not to be too much of a downer but a lot of the “Pats used the AR” stuff is overblown.
They still use the same OL splits/calls/protections used when Weis was there, along with route combos. The only (afaik) AR additions the Pats used since switching to McDaniels is a propensity to run the ball out of the gun and reduce the amount of dig/comeback concepts that are E/P staples. They did utilize much more gun and empty (which I suppose can be attributed to the AR) but they were already running their heavily featured concepts (slant/flat, double slant, etc).
