I did think it might be that..but it made sense..5 OUT in the trenches..not good.

Wow. You have Adalius Thomas going from a healthy inactive no dress to a starter in one week. I guess we will see in about an hour.

The kindergarten punishment is over, or do really think that Ninkovich is the best starter at this point? BTW, I could see Nonkovich starting to continue the punichment, and then Thomas getting more reps than Ninkovich.

Gonna have a D with lotsa LBs wandering around and safetys playing run support. Should be an interesting challenge for BB.

The wind is the factor in the Pats air attack. I'd like to see ball control O to keep our DL rested.

I have no idea. I usually adjust these at the start of the game.

Re: Pats Inactives: Warren, Wilfork, Neal, Kaczur, Taylor, Pryor, Wheatley, Stanback
 

1 d lineman in reserve,that is real thin... maybe it is time to develop the 2-5 defense...

Re: Pats Inactives: Warren, Wilfork, Neal, Kaczur, Taylor, Pryor, Wheatley, Stanback
 

My guess is that the Pats will play a 4-3 the entire game. With the 2 DEs being TBC and Burgess... And with Adams and Brace rotating in to spell Wright and Green..

This will be an IRON MAN game for those 4.

Re: Pats Inactives: Warren, Wilfork, Neal, Kaczur, Taylor, Pryor, Wheatley, Stanback
 

We're thin. I suppose if Brace isn't counted, we have only one backup. But, then, perhaps it's fair not to count Brace.

3-4 WITHOUT BRACE
Burgeess, Wright, Green
Adams

4-3 WITHOUT BRACE
Burgess, Wright, Green, Banta-Cain
Adams

My bottom line is that we will need to count on either Adams or Brace as our backups. I just hope that neither gets many reps.

Burgess is not a DE in the 3-4.
