Eric Allen (NFL Live) Rates Patriots Secondary Best in League
Just watching NFL and they had a countdown of the top secondaries from the opinion of former CB Eric Allen. The list had teams like Denver, Jacksonville, and Baltimore, but he put he had the Patriots at number one.
I think we was assuming that Samuel would be back, though. He said between Samuel, a healthy Harrison, and our new draft pick Meriweather, a secondary that allowed just TEN passing TDs last year should be even better.

Nice . . . I'm more concerned about Rodney staying healthy and Meriweather being able to be an upgrade over Wilson than Samuel playing . . . at $500K per game, he's playing.

Harrison and Wilson at safety, Samuel and Hobbs at corner, and Meriweather as a hybrid S/CB...that ain't bad at all. Plus, they'll all look even better with the front seven bringing the heat.
Re: Eric Allen (NFL Live) Rates Patriots Secondary Best in League
This is madness. We have no true shutdown corner, our other corner is really just a nickelback, we have no heir apperaent to our injury-prone strong safety, Eugene Wilson looks lost out there, and Artrell Hawkins is too old.

Allen is clearly overrating Meriweather.
This post is what's madness.

I'm hoping Wilson and Meriweather will be reversed from your plan. Wilson had always been a CB and I think it showed. I don't think he's an instinctual S when it comes to reading play action, etc. A lifetime S like Meriweather should so a lot better in that area.

I just got goosebumps.
Meriweather's the starting FS, and Wilson's playing hybrid CB/S this year.

That's a good point. From here on I'll adopt it as my own.
