It's easy, and only takes a few moments.What I loved about this game is the Patriots won it going away and their offense had very little to do with the outcome. A very encouraging sign going forward for this team.
Pass D has allowed an average of only 166 passing yards in the first two games - albeit against two mediocre QBs. Still very good though.
Jones is an All Pro when he isn't a 3-4 DE.
We have quite the trio of pass rushers with Jones, Hightower, and Ninkovich as OLBs. Can Collins play ILB?
About amendola...why did he not play
Good game overall.
Defense showed up. 4 Interceptions. 6 sacks and a forced fumble. Blocked punt.
The O-line seems to be finally gelling, though it still had a few hiccups..
The refs need to stop with all the onesided calling..
The refs got the call right on the pass to Jennings, despite Ian Eagle trying to say "But the ball crossed the plane". He still couldn't grasp it even after Mike Carey explained it to him. Ball has to be in control first. Means 2 points down in bounds.
Edelman showing why he could go down as one of the best punt returners in history..
Congratulations to Belichick on win number 200..
If we are going to continue to use the 3-4 I think the goal by the end of the season should be:In a 3-4? Absolutely, probably his best position. Makes it hard to target him in the run game and he can pursue plays rather than trying to seal the edge. I see Collins as a 4-3 SOLB and 3-4 ILB
Basically, it works for all the same reasons that Hightower at OLB theoretically could work well.

Brady: I'm happy we won, but I just wish we would go out there and play the way we're capable of.
If we are going to continue to use the 3-4 I think the goal by the end of the season should be:
LOLB – Hightower
LDT – Wilfork
NT – Siliga
RDE – Easley
ROLB – Jones
LILB – Mayo
RILB – Collins
Rotate Ninkovich in for Hightower and Jones to keep everyone fresh.
