Well, it turns out that was because he was battling injury his final year at Syracuse and is a complete wrecking machine. I was very happy to be proved wrong and now have a Chandler Jones Jersey on the way.
I am also happy that I was completely wrong about Jermaine Cunningham. I thought he would be cut before camp and not even have a shot at making the roster. With last years performance and reports out of the lockeroom that he was a bit of an outsider, I thought his time in New England was up. Nobody has impressed me as much this season as Cunningham. It might just be me, but it looks like his body has changed and now he looks and plays like a beast. I think we will see a lot more of him lined up across from Jones instead on Ninko in the near future because that is a duo that can pressure the QB.

The way JC laid waste to his blocker as a sub package dt gave me shivers. He is a much more physical and punishing pass rusher than he was in 2010, though his sack was finesse. If JC was in this kind of shape last year, the scheme would not have made a difference.
