When Belichick harped on his intelligence, I assumed that meant he was destined to be in position more often than not; I did not expect for him to deliver bone-crushing hits every 3 minutes.

He hits like I expected Merriweather would eventually going to start hitting when I heard his nick name.

Tell me why the Patriots stopped blitzing toward the end of the game. Favre showed he wanted nothing to do with a pass rush yet the Patriots laid off of him. That was the difference in my opinion.

We have the future in our 2 ILB's. Guyton and Mayo will be getting it done for us for years to come.

Guyton is the exact type of player who comes out of nowhere and exactly defines the difference between the Pats and other teams. People who knock the Pats recent drafts always do it without comparing them to other teams drafts, so they think every pick is supposed to be perfect. When Chad Jackson got cut, you'd think some people here forgot about all of the talent the Pats have built their dynasty around through savvy drafting and FA acquisitions. Pretty much every single player on the defense right now shows a lot of talent and potential, but it's going to take time to adjust to the volatility of injuries and new gameplanning.

Good point wildo! think about all the injuries! but in a way, they have been a blessing for the coaching staff because I believe a couple of gems are emerging who otherwise may have never had the chance.

This "could" be a year like 2001 where we really peak in the second half. But a win next week is an absolute must if that is going to happen. If we lose, I don't think we'll go far.

The LB (Guyton, I think), blew the coverage, not the SS. He bit a little on the under. Lack of experience. A slower Bruschi would make that play with ease. Still, you need to play to learn. As for desire, you can confuse it with inexperience. Confident players make faster, better decisions.

I'm getting a #51 Jersey as well.

Actually I believe that was Woods.

Where from I want one....

Per rotoworld... Patriots rookie LB Jerod Mayo recorded a game-high 20 tackles, including 16 solo tackles and two tackles for a loss in Week 11 against the Jets.
He also deflected a pass and was an omnipresent menace throughout the game. Mayo's numbers could have been even more remarkable had he not made a trip to the locker room in the first half. The probable Defensive Rookie of the Year is now the NFL leader in tackles.

Meriweather missed tackles all night long tried too much for the big hit rather than just wrap up and take the guy down. Mayo Done both and made a ****** load of tackles.
