Re: Jerod Mayo is a Monster
20 tackles for Jerod. That takes him to second on the tackles list. If you just coiunted solo tackles, his 16 are good enough to give him joint first place.
Guys, we've got a live one on our hands.

Been watching Samuel in Philly? I have, he's hardly playing at an elite level. Solid player that played above his head in this defense. We could sure use him, but not for the ridiculous dollars Philly paid. Next year, the secondary should come together a bit better, with all the run the young guys are getting. They're improving, and the talent is there.
I think the most disapointing thing about getting Mayo is that I say Vernon Gholston on the sidelines while the Jets' defense was on the field and was thinking to myself, "Damn, I wish we had him instead of Mayo."
"I was leaving late one night, and this tall skinny kid approached me holding a pizza box. I said, "I know who you are, you're Tom Brady, sixth-round pick from Michigan." And he replied, 'and I'm the best decision this organization has ever made.' I was stunned. The amazing thing is he didn't say it to be arrogant...he was sincere. I went home and told everyone about it." - Bob Kraft

You have to take into account that it is almost guaranteed that any player coming out of the Patriots will more than likely just suck balls on another team. I dont why it is but it happens like 90% of the time... some recent examples: Branch, Dillon, Samuel, Stallworth, Wilson etc. There are some exceptions of course like Milloy, whos doing pretty well in Atlanta.

Just to chime in, yes; Mayo is an absolute monster. Also, Guyton and Woods had very good games.
With Mayo on the team I think our LB corp will be solid for a long time. And to think, some people didn't like that draft pick...
This is why people who rag on the defense drive me nuts. We have TONS of talent and speed on defense, but we have been dealing with a ton of injuries and are naturally transitioning from a bend don't break style that was meant to go along with the ridiculous offense of last year, to an aggressive pass rush type defense. It's not supposed to be perfect, but the defense has been getting better and better lately, with Mayo playing the best game yet tonight, along with other pleasant surprises in Guyton and Woods and to a lesser extent Wilhite and Merriweather.

When it happens that many times, it's a trend. They are system players.
