Default Your 2010 Patriots Unsung Players

Alge Crumpler- The guy is just a professional and I think helped the 2 young TE's more than can be said.

On the defense- I think James Sanders and Ninkovich have been guys doing their jobs.

On ST- Tracy White and Sammy Morris seem to always be in on the tackles

BJGE, it's so nice to have a RB that runs straight ahead and gets positive yardage on every play, as opposed to a dancing fool.

alge crumpler as well for me. A great run blocker and part of the reason our offense has come to be so balanced. i was happy for him when he got that touchdown this week.

also, arrington. i hate to watch him get bashed on these boards, he's really stepped in for our rapid improving defense, and watching a patriot cornerback not named mccourty make a tackle brings joy to my heart after years of watching hobbs and gay make half a$$ed arm tackles.

Agreed. It's nice to see Alge get a TD after all the leadership he has provided to these young TE's. He's very much a team player and someone who knows how to utilize his mental as well as physical skills by passing his experiences and lessons learned along to the pups.

It's not just unsung heros, it's the incredible number of different guys that come up with big plays week to week. Kyle Love, Eric Moore, Tracy White; the list is almost endless. Plus a lot of the players that we're starting to take for granted were either virtual unknowns or questionable to even be on the roster back in training camp: Arrington, BJGE, Morris, Ninkovich, G Warren, Page, etc. And when someone goes out the backup is almost always at bare minimum adequate - and usually exceeds reasonable expectations.

Crumpler not only taught them how to play the game, but taught them how to be professionals in the NFL..

BJGE also, minimal negative carries, no fumbles and consistent, consistent, consistent..

I think Matt Light deserves a call out for his play this season. I don't find myself worrying about who is coming off the edge like I have in past seasons. Crumpler has been an excellent addition, especially in his blocking. But it seems like he's been moved all around, in motion, in the backfield, etc...Not like he's been Light's big brother. Light's quietly had a very solid season at LT.

BJGE unsung? Hardly. He's talked about all the time.

Koppen and Light must be doing something right this year, and whatever it is isn't talked about much. All of the outside linebackers.

BB knew he had to draft some young TEs, so, even before drafting them, he signed the best possible mentor for them. Net result: arguably the worst TE unit in the NFL in 2009, arguably the BEST TE unit in the league in 2010.

Mine are Crump, Love, Warren, Ninko, Fletcher, Page.

Not really hyped players but have done very well in their duties.

Peter King thinks that Ninkovich could be a big threat coming off the edge in this weeks MMQB
