IMO, he'll bounce back in '06.

Not to merge this with another thread, but was the peceived poor run defense Green's fault, or more due to the Brown/Beisel combo in the middle ?

In the five games Green started, including four playoff teams, the Pats defense allowed 3.7 ypc. For the season, it was 3.6 ypc. With Green the pats had 2.0 sacks per game, without Green 2.1 sacks. Not much difference, IMO.

Again, I just think he's not the guy to scapegoat.
