I have a general bad feeling. They come too hot and the Patriots come kind of warm. If Brady doesn't get the offense scoring in every other drive, I don't see the defense stepping up to Cruz-Manningham-Hicks-Manning. It's one thing to "contain" Tebow or Flacco, another is to contain an offense...
Brockers is a wild-card: huge, disruptive, but he only played for one full season alongside other huge, disruptive players.
Hightower is a beast, but I think getting a pure pass rusher is a higher necessity. Depth is important, and the ILB position isn't one in which the team is lacking. That...
The nickname is because the Patriots have short players in key positions (WR, RB, CB, S, even Aaron Hernandez is undersized for a TE). Nothing to do with fans.
Sanchez was 16-26 and 158 yards. Also 2 TDs for a 105.6 QB rating. Throughout his career, his games against the Pats are way over the...
Picks. BB likes to stock up picks? Send a second and a third rounder for him. Or he could have picked him up this season.
First: he's a key piece of the Jets defense. A great tackler (much better than any safety the Patriots had during that time he was a FA), both near the line of scrimmage...
Maybe, but field possition isn't a big problem for the Patriots because the offense can take on most of this league's teams. And the team has good punt returners.
No, not really. More of the same. Only more expensive. This, however, is one of BB's mistakes in believing he's the Warren...
No, this guy is terrific against the run and hits really, really hard. He's not just a playmaker in the turnover and coverage game, he makes plays in the backfield as well. He's like Mini Charles Woodson.
Re: For those who wanted Pats to select Muhammad Wilkerson rather than trade # 28....
I'd rather not have traded our 2009 first rounder to GB and get Clay Matthews...
True, Welker isn't used in the Patriots offense in a specific spot, nor the Jets use Revis on only one side of the field (like the Raiders did with Asomugha). There you have why Welker had 50% catch rate when he was one-on-one with Revis.
I wouldn't go so far as to say he colonized Revis...
Re: Semi OT: Aaron Curry/Seahawks working on contract restructure
The picks are a 2012 7th-rounder and a conditional 2013 4th-rounder. A bargain, if you ask me, for a guy who was once considered the next Derrick Brooks with a bigger body. Maybe the Raiders coaches can turn him into a better...
Wilfork may be the best player in the team that is Pro Bowl-worthy.
Mayo is good against the run, terrible in coverage.
Bodden is already 30 years old: if he needs time to recover, he's already done.
McCourty is having an off year, I'll give you that. Maybe he's really good.
Chung...
Drafting offensive players would be ******ed at this point. The defense is a disaster and needs serious help in every unit. No pass rush. Bends against the run. Allows a lot of big plays. Not as turnover-prone as last year (which bailed the Patriots out in many games, e.g. Colts and Steelers)...
