He and Ellis Hobbs have been the best defensive backs, by far, on the Pats defense this year. James Sanders, after a solid year last year, hasn't done much so far this year. Meriweather, playing mostly in nickle and dime situations, has made several plays and good pass breakups. He has been solid in tackling with maybe one or two youth mistakes. He leads the team in interceptions. He has clearly been steadily improving since midseason last year.
So why isn't he starting over James Sanders? Sanders is a solid guy and may move back into the starting job next year if Rodney moves on, but Meriweather is far more talented, fast and has more ability to turn into a playmaker.
I, for one, hopes Meriweather becomes a full-time player starting next week and Sanders becomes the third safety.
