Here's a thought: Maybe Joe, and the rest of the coaches, told players to play a certain role, knowing that they were going to get beat repeatedly, just to see if they would stay within the scheme, or would freelance, a la LaVar. When the real action starts, they need to know that a player can follow instructions, and not be out of position.

Exactly!
Do not sack Tom Brady. Just make sure he doesn't scramble outside of the pocket.

On a serious note, my only real concern after a few days of cooling off is that Jon Jansen seemed to get beat repeatedly on the outside edge.
I think (read: hope) that he is just trying not to grab someone with the recovering right thumb, and during the regular season would stop those guys, but it wasn't just Mike Vrabel, he got beat on the outside by a stunting defensive tackle. I'm the biggest #76 apologist on the board (by RiC's definition, of course), but there is never an excuse for a Defensive Tackle to beat an Offensive Tackle with a speed move.
