The Hurricane

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHH

My blocking fullback who averages 2 yards/carry doesn't get enough running plays and neither does level 5 inactive guy sitting on our roster.

Translation for those of you who don't get the reference:

Since posting my last comment I read that Vrabel only has two sacks this season (and both against KC I think) vs 12.5 last year, so I concede the point. I don't think he's completely done, but he doesn't seem to be the threat he used to be. Is there a OLB version of Mayo out there?

I don't know if that would be our highest off season priority, though. I would put a couple of DBs first (esp. CB), then OLB, then OL...

The Patriots defensive scheme is "bend don't break" that is why it has great sucess against teams without patience, unfortunatley nobody is mroe dink and dunk, and has seen the APats defense more than old noodlearm, which is why he always looks like a HOFer against us. The defesne is far from stellar, and lacks any kind of pass rush, but it will match up much better against the Steelers.

I would not abandon the 3-4 for no other reason than the Pats have the best Nose Guard in the business. Vince has been incredible this year. I wish that they Pats had someone that could bring some pressure, but they have been solid against the run all year, and they will make other teams go the lenght of the filed and throw to score, unfortunatley both the Jets and the Phins seemed to have no problem doing just that. The problem has been 3rd down, how many 3 and 10s did they make? Everyweek I see the young guys player better Merriweather has gone from a borderline bust, to a solid starter, Mayo had the game of his life against the Jets, lets just hope that Guyton can suplant Woods.

No, let's not hope that at all, given that Guyton is an ILB and Woods is an OLB.

Or one of them, at least.

Unless there's available an OLB whose value - in the FO's estimation - is just too high to bypass, I don't see our 1st-rounder being used on that position. The combination of Vrabel, AT, Woods, Crable & Redd might be given another season to sort itself out.

I feel that the FO should look very, very closely at CB & SS for their first pick, if not their first 2 picks.

If we are given an end-of-3rd pick as comp for A$ante, then that would give us 5 picks in the top 100. The positions of CB, SS, OLB, pass-rushing DE and OLman should be the only positions chosen with those 5 picks. And if the FO doubles-up on CBs and instead chooses a DE or OLB later on the second day, then I could def. live with that.
