How many ball through the years do you think have been dropped becuase the WR was wondering where's Lott/Rodney and is he about to light me up? The Pats have been hitting people this year, like it is 2001. These guys watch tape all week, and WR are gonna start noticing that they better keep their heads on a swivel or they are gonna get hit.
We'll get a lot of Claytonesque drops if we keep bringing the lumber. And some fumbles and INTs, too.

I think that you are comparing apples to organges. Reed and Troy are/were far better coverage safeties than Rodney, but I think that Rodney was an equally better run support safety than those guys. My goodness, comparing Ed Reed and Rodney, you might as well compare a DB with a DE--they play such different roles in their defenses even though they are both called "safeties".

I've never seen a better run-support safety than Rodney, and that matters in this game even though it doesn't give you stats.
