The three biggest plays of the game were made by 2nd tier guys. TBC and Davis were borderline on making the team in my mind. Just goes to show the value of depth.

TBC's play was the key to Warren's safety... but Warren made the play.

Hope to see more good stuff from TBC when Bruschi comes back... Any chance he starts on the outside and Vrabel stays at ILB. (Seau sits)

TBC??? I want the man fired, not praised!

I doubt very much Seau would sit. If Bruschi plays my money is on a rotation of inside linebackers.

Garbanza,

I've agreed with you elsewhere. But... This time you've inserted your cranium in to a cloacal cavity. TBC had a spectacular game. I reviewed the tape thrice now and he looks better with each viewing. I think we see another Vrabel in the making...

Monster!

Kevin Faulk is tight and underrated.

I really hope TBC turns into a Vrabel type player. He already has the pass rush skills.

Box,

I could not tape the game, so I have been reviewing it on the comcast digital replay show (13 min.), and in my mind's eye. It seems that TBC takes bad angles, and misses a lot of tackles, every game. Even on the safety, he had Loseman dead to rights and whiffed. Please enlighten me; I could use the good news. What did you see that causes you to describe TBC's game as a monster? Thanks.

P.S.: Davis made a very good tackle on McGahee on the 4th/1; however, I still do not like him at all as an ILB. Bruschi's return will obviously help, but the backup ILB still needs an upgrade over Mr.Davis.

I'll have more when I get back to the tape, but I did the first defensive series of the second half and stuck it in the Buffalo Breakdown thread - on that series he looked like he played his responsibility and Sey was the one getting beaten. It was interesting to note that he was having no trouble working against the TEs, got good leverage on them and moved them as he desired. I came away from the game Sunday with a generally good impression of him, shaky for Seymour and Neal, and a big question mark for Seau. Since I did have that impression and AZ is also getting that vibe watching his tape, I switched hats from analyst to fan for a moment - but I'll give you more detail before the Jest game.

As for Davis, I was pleased with what looked like his improvement inside during the preseason. For his size he was doing better at stacking the Guards. I prefer him for situational work and Special Teams, and agree he wouldn't hold up well inside for any length of time, but I like his current roles. Considering he was in Bruschi's spot for that play, he did the job - and the quote on Patriots.com was great as he gave all the credit for the play to the line.

I also thought TBC was solid, although I admit that I have not reviewed game tape. He appeared to hold the edge well and was able to pressure the QB.

With tedy coming back, we will have a nice rotation of LB'ers to go with a tremendous D-line.
