Default Who is the weakest link in the "starting" 22?

At the begining of last year the majority of people voted for asante. I am sure that has changed by now.

Right now i believe Matt Light is the biggest liability. Hopefully the addition of K. Brady will mask the trouble he is given by better than average D Ends.

I hate to say it and I am sure many won't like to hear it but i think Bruschi is up there in the running for weakest link. He is very smart and plays the game real well but his lack of speed really hurts the defense. The chargers playoff game is a great example of this. If I were the jets i would run routes to the RB's over the middle all day.

Thoughts?

Really? I feel Sanders is a very good player who can showcase his abilities when given the chance. I guess we will see over the next few weeks.

Sanders and Light are both good guesses.
I like Light, but I'm thinking his replacement gets drafted on the first day next year.

If this is true, and it isn't unreasonable, then we are doing pretty darn good aren't we?

Light?!? Not a chance. Not ahead of Kaczur. But I think our weakest, and probably three of the weakest five, is in the secondary. Toss up between Wilson and Sanders.

Also, unless Bruschi shows a resurgence, we need to start thinking about him in the bottom quartile of the roster.

Tom Brady - the guy can't bench to save his life.
