Apparently people are comfortable with McGowan as the top backup S.
Certainly an interesting viewpoint, I guess.
VERY good point. It's taken a LONG time to forge the Depth of Talent we currently have at Safety, and I have absolutely NO interest in thinning it out, just to save a few bucks: One injury, and our current strength suddenly becomes a weakness.
Ditto at ILB, to those speculating about cutting McKenzie or moving Guyton: we have AWESOME Depth of Talent, there, after 5 HIDEOUS years of hard times. Why screw with a good thing??

If I remember Sanders carries a pretty heft cap hit.. something like 3 million, which may minimize the interest..
Cap? What Cap?
I don't think Sanders gets traded. If a safety get traded I think McGowan might the one gone. He got benched for a reason last year.
Sanders isn't spectacular, he's just solid. McGowan may look flashy but I think his desire to get the big hit versus make his reads, be in position and make a tackle seem out of step with what BB wants in a player.
Style versus substance. We see the same phenomenon with everyone calling for an "attacking 3-4" like Pittsburgh instead of the "read and react" 3-4 that's helped make the Patriots better than the Steelers for the majority of the BB tenure.
Eh. An attacking one gap 3-4 is my personal preference for a defense, personally. But I see where you're coming from. I've said time and time again that there's nothing wrong with a read and react 3-4 defense. It can be just as "attacking" as a one gap 3-4 when you have the horses to run it.
As for Sanders, can't imagine why we would let him go. He's a great back-up and is better than McGowan is.

And he sometimes misses and delivers the hit to his own man who is not expecting it. He has clocked Chung, McGowan and Wheatly that I can recall.
g-d da-n......did you even watch the falcons game?.......the play you didn't even bother to analyze was this:
Arrington was in zone coverage at LCB covering the wide receiver(I believe it was #80).When Arrington saw that it was a drag route to the underneath zone,he came off his man.....closed the 10 yd difference in a nanosecond and delivered a big stick.
Can't cover?.....It wasn't HIS MAN.....get it...not his man.IMO,Arrington has better closing speed than any other cb,including run DMC.
Look at the replay......see the wide receiver...then post.

Wow. You couldn't be more off here. I subscribe to Patriots Football Weekly, who analyze to death every moment of every practice and preseason game and they keep raving about how fantastic his coverage skills are this year. As a matter of fact the question asked in PFW was "his coverage of receivers has been so tight, will he be able to get away with this in the regular season or will he be flagged for contact?"
I haven't seen enough to form my own opinion but I just thought I would pass this along.

Sorry, but you are wrong on this. You mentioned it previously, so I went back and watched the games. Arrington was not an issue in coverage. In fact, one of the times you claim that Arrington was at fault, it was actually McGowan..
I'll be honest. I don 't think you know who you are watching on the field because I made it a point to watch Arrington on every play he was out there and he never once hit his own guy.. McGowan did and it resulted in a TD.

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN!!
For the record, I think you're an AWFULLY good poster, AZ, and know one HELL of a lot more about the play by play than, say, myself...But if a relative newcomer may be so bold as to suggest it: You need to go off somewhere and BLEED for awhile!!

I'm confused as to whom you're adressing in your post,off the grid,me or AZ.If it's moi.....I've only "gone off" twice in recent memory:
1.The post about Devin McCourty not being able to catch......I then dissected the play, somewhat calmly, explaining the angle run DMc took and the height of the throw.The posters' conclusion based on this one play was patently ridiculous.
2.The post on Kyle Arrington was based on visual evidence and my belief on this board that if you're going to make blanket statements about players,
you better study them and have specific evidence to back up your conclusions.
I admit my bullsh-t threat meter goes to redline sometimes,however,when I see a "Hey,look at me" post or thread,I do tend to go a little over the top.......But....hey,it's passion and I'm italian....so read it or not
