Default Positives from todays game

Up

-Jerod Mayo. Vintage Mayo game. Sideline to sideline. Stopped everything in his path. Came back from a stinger. Couldve tipped a pass that led toma TD, but hes at his best right now when it comes to stopping the run.

-Ninkovich. Making the most of his chances to rush the passer. Had a couple big plays in OT and ended the game.

-UDFA Justin Francis gettin some PT and looked decent

-Gronkowski.... The most unfortunate recipient of Mcdaniels coming back. Does Mcdaniels not see how automatic Gronk is??? I get the feeling Gronk isnt being used as he should be this year. Hes the best tight end in the league and unstoppable at times. He comes up big when you need him. 2 TDs and moved chains in crunch time

-Gostkowski. Redemption. I was thnking he might lose his job if he missed that FG to go into OT.


-Hightower is back and had a crucial sack late in the game. His instincts are great.

-Arrington and Dennard both had some nice stops against short passes. Dennard got his first career INT. A couple holding flags, but Dennards future is bright. Still cant stop deep passes though.

- Vereen finally getting some playing time.

- Mesko pinning the Jets deep numerous times.

-Spikes hit on Greene. Clean and hard.

I put Welker in this list. He is still a TOP WR... Even if its in the SLOT.

Nice thread, but I find dificult to take something positive out of Arrington and Dennard's performances.

The defense isn't there yet, but some new guys are stepping up. Dennard has made a big push for playing time the past few weeks, Ninkovich is getting hot (half sack in the first three games, 3.5 sacks and 4 FF in the next 4). Looks like Dowling is on the right track too.

Honesty, we forced a safety and returned a kick for a touchdown. Brady threw 2 touchdowns and we beat a division rival in overtime. 8 years ago we'd all be thrilled.

I like to see that Francis is playing, but what does that say about Bequette? They both play the same position (big DE) but the UDFA is getting much more time than the 3rd rounder...
