And I wouldnt. Is that fair?


Sanders is great against the run, but overcommits, and isn't good against the pass. Polamalu is a gambler, and in the situation at the end of the game where an incomplete is just as good as an INT, I want the guy who is better in coverage, and Meriweather is better in coverage than Polamalu. Reed is playing like crap right now.


I don't know enough about Sharper other than that hes got a bunch of INTs for TDs this year and has been playing forever, so mulligan on that one.

Perfectly fair. Agree to disagree, and we're probably both wrong. If we were right, we'd have coaching jobs.

^This

Don't really need to add much to that. That's the way I feel as well. Just to add, I've always liked the way Brandon has played since his college days. The Patriots were lucky he dropped and picked him up when they did.

It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.

Just a fun post on a boring Halloween night

saw this in Sports Iluustarted. I'm sure some of you have seen this but here goes for those who have not.

They have a section that is called The Pop Culture Grid where they ask athletes random questions and this week they asked Brandon Merriweather those questions......

My advice to the Balloon Family.....Stay creative
Favorite Halloween candy.....Red Hots or Lemonheads
Movie that scares me senseless.....Friday the 13th
Our locker room smells like.....Paradise(loved that one)
Best Halloween costume I've ever had.....Superman

Hopefully BM will be getting more game balls in the future. I'm looking forward to it.

Another few i'd include ahead of Meriweather (and i'm his biggest fan)

Dawkins is one.

Maybe not near the elite for now, but in a group with Rolle, Atogwe, Rhodes, Griffin and a few more.

But, he is close to making himself a top 5 safety.

If the Pro Bowl had 2 safeties in each position, he'd be in there for me, but I think Dawkins will pip him and Polamalu will get the douchebag vote as well. But top 3/4 Strong Safety in the game.

Patriots Daily rocks. Great stuff, Chris. As for Meriweather...

I agree with the "I'm excited, he's looking great, but let's calm down a bit" crowd.
