Third String But Playing on Special Teams

Default Pat Chung

Second-year player Pat Chung has been running with the first-team defense at strong safety in offseason practices.

According to the Boston Globe's Albert Breer, Chung is rotating but "getting a ton of reps" and "they're moving him around quite a bit." Chung spent his rookie year on special teams, playing more than 50 percent of New England's defensive snaps in just two games. It looks like he's a strong bet to overtake strong safety from James Sanders and Brandon McGowan.

I am very excited about Chung and think he is going to make our D worlds better this year. The report on him comming out of college is he is very smart with a great workethic. I think his now improved (second year in the league) knowledge, hard work ethic, and skill set will be very helpful on the field this year and that he will make a major impact.

I am also excited about our other second year players and think they will prove that we had a very solid draft last year. ie Butler, Volmer, Edelman, and Tate....plus who knows what McKenzie can bring. Its going to be a fun year.

Anybody that still believes that Sanders or McGowan will start over Chung, need to get their head examined. Despite what the Pats said, they've been trying to find somebody better than Sanders since Wilson struggled and Harrison retired. Chung had one year to catch up to the speed of the NFL and learn the defense. I will eat my words if he isn't the starter week 1.

Always said and believed that James Sanders is a great "role" player, not a stater, who needed to be upgraded and Patrick Chung's time has arrived. Chung and Brandon U are going to be a tremendous tandem.

This young defense will have some early growing pains, but once it hits it's stride by midseason, look out. All young, athletic and talented. This is going to be fun season!

which shows why the other poster should put negatives in correct perspective before drawing conclusions.

As for Chung, I too am very excited about a DB group of Meriweather/Chung at S and Bodden/Butler/McCourty at CB.
