This D given a little more development can be as good as ANY we have seen here including the championship D's.

Return to dominance indeed.

Great points, Brother 13!!

It's been pointed out that Brandon Deaderick has picked up an huge chunk of Market Share at Kyle Love's expense, lately. But I don't think that that detracts from your point about Love's recent ascension freeing up Wilfork.

The biggest variable, of course, is Vince Wilfork, himself: His improvement in conditioning, endurance, and ~ above all ~ Athleticism, the last few years has been astonishing.

And that's all been since he signed the Big Contract.

That tells me all that I'll ever need to know about Vince Wifork's Character.

(OTG may be an acquired taste, but, like the appreciation of Islay malt whisky and mature women, I can recommend acquiring it.)

If Gregory and McCourty continue to develop their timing, Talib and Dennard play as tight as they have without giving up too much PI and Arrington continues to revel in the slot. Well, who knows?

(Side note: I thought the team had got there with Bodden and McCourty plus Chung and Meriweather with Butler for the slot last season. Only one survives as a starter and he's switched positions!)

Thank ye Kindly, Brother Mike!!

1 ~ I think that Monday's stunning Domination of Planet Hoosten was only the beginning!! This Secondary has improved enormously at all FIVE Positions...and now that they are starting to get in Sync with each other, more so each and every Game...watch out!!

2 ~ I felt exactly the same way about our Camp Secondary, last year!! I can't believe that was only 20 months ago!!
