How did Tully do starting as OLB? - New England Patriots Forums

He seemed fine but could someone who has a finer eye for plays (e.g. Box O Rocks or Pats1) give an assessment of how well he was setting the edge. Many thanks.

He played a good game even without registering a sack; he did make several good plays against the run, and he did have some good QB hurries. One saved a TD, as Kitna had to throw quickly to the corner of the endzone for an incompletion. Without TBC's hurry, Kitna could have had the time to complete that TD play or even run for the FD inside the ten.

He seems like a guy that could have a break out game the more he gets experience. Tully probably will have a learning curve now that he is finally starting. His first game was good, but he may show some good improvement later on, now that he can get his feet wet.

Before the season started I suggested that he would be the eventual replacement for Willie, on the outside. It took a little longer than I expected, but I think he will be a major factor in our defensive schemes.

Right now, I believe they've switched Colvin to Willie's side and TBC replaces Colvin. I could be wrong, though.

Switched Colvin to Vrabels side and TBC replaces Colvin.

I agree, I saw Colvin mostly on the defensive left in Willie's old spot. I thought TBC looked a step slow and a little behind, I am sure that this will improve as he gets more reps.
