[SVN]

Gonna be a lot of speed and not much beef our there today!

So for DL we have Wilfork, Warren, Brace, Love?

 

[patsinthesnow]

Holy smokes is Love starting on the line?

 

[Sciz]

Um... what?

 

[JackBauer]

Well I take it to mean Darius Butler is crawling his way out of the doghouse.

Well, we also don't have any other options. If Wilhite was healthy, he'd likely be active instead.

 

[ALP]

i disagree, wilfork and brace are the beef....

we wont have ANY speed out there on the D-line today, which is not good for passing situations

 

[Metaphors]

So for DL we have Wilfork, Warren, Brace, Love?

That suggests to me that we will see more 4-3 base looks with the OLBs lining up at end. Though I would expect the Pats to be in sub packages most of the time anyway.

Yeah. Wilhite has been a lot better in the slot than he was on the outside. He's hurt and that pushes Butler into the rotation.
Regardless of whose at nickel CB, I think we're gonna see more big nickel than traditional 3-CB sets. Considering Meriweather, Chung, Sanders, Page are all active BB has a lot of good safeties to choose from.

Lions pass and cannot run. Gonna flood the field with DBs (Brown, Page, Chung, Meriweather, Sanders, McCourty, Arrington, Butler) and LBs.

Sergio Brown's a nice little player too.

Makes perfect sense to me -- probably won't happen!

I haven't heard anything about Wilhite being injured.

 

[JSn]

Hip injury. Been out for a couple weeks.

Hip injury. Been out for a couple weeks.

Ah.. I just figured he was being de-activated.

 

[Pessimistic Pete]

Fred Taylor is back from the dead!?
