When you look at the front 7s BB has had with the Patriots over the years it is an understatement to say there has been a wide variety.
We have had years when it was hair pulling and it seemed they could not get pressure to save their lives. Other years it has arguably been the best unit in the NFL. Where do you think this front 7 will rank?
Personally I think (going by years) This will be overall the 3rd best group of the BB era.
#1 2003 - Washington/Warren/Seymour/Vrabel/Bruschi/Johnson/McGinest - There were other players that made good depth pieces but this group could do it all. Washington was a beast this year and shut down the run and is probably the most underappreciated part of this unit.
#2 2004 - Wilfork/Warren/Seymour/Vrabel/Bruschi/Johnson/McGinest - Taylor/Wilfork traded for the starting role on and off this year. When Wilfork was in it was really good though.
#3 (projected) 2015 - I think it will be a mix of a lot of players on the DL with less true full time starters but I think this group will rank very highly. The only thing it lacks is the vet savy the other groups had and a outside pass rusher as good as McGinest.
Where do you think it will rnak?
