PFF is states the same things I've been saying about Brady since 2011. PFF is the best site out there since they analyze game film. Tape doesn't lie. Unfortunately, it's only for the Homer Impaired.

Gallon returns punts. He has a good shot at making the team.

Rounds 4 - 7 Mel Kiper whiffed. This is what he had for his "top needs": TE, DL, S, RB. The Pats O-line was a train wreck. Brady took a beating in 2013. The culprits were Wendell, Connolly, and Mankins. Yes, Mankins. 2012 looks like a flash in the pan for Wendell. in 2013, he was the worst...

I"m a Pats fan but not a homer. I've been critical of this team from the owner to the backup O-linemen. That said, I love this draft. Rounds 1 - 2 Easley - He recovered completely from his 1st ACL. His 2nd ACL will be 1 year recovered early in the regular season. I'm sure BB checked him out...

Mayo's injury might be viewed as an improvement in the passing D. In 4 games this season: Targeted: 22 Completions: 19 Comp%: 86.4 YPC: 8.9 Yards: 170 YAC: 140 TD: 2 NFL Passer Rating: 129.2 Gee, how can we replace that???

NY Jets 27 New England 13

The team won't miss Mayo as much as the majority believes. LBs who are good against the run and are a liability in pass coverage aren't hard to replace. Moreover, Spikes is finally starting to emerge from BB's doghouse.

Davis would be my first choice followed by Seubert. If Manuwai is in shape, which he wasn't last year, I'll take him.

re: James sanders cut (merged) Not to me. I thought about him getting cut this morning. He's a minimum wage caliber player who wasn't starting and wasn't really good. He was overpaid from his extension that he signed a couple of years ago.

As long as the Celtics retain their cap advantage over most of the NBA teams in the summer of 2012, no. 2011-12 is a throwaway season where the big 3 would simply linger for one more go around.

The Pats 2011 fate is tied to their defense. If Carter/Ellis/Hanyesworth play to their career norms, then this offense is adequate to win a SB with. That said, if you want to know what the 2011 team really looks like, become a fly on the wall at one of their closed practices.

I'm not all set with Connolly as the starting RG. I've heard talk of playing Solder there, but I wish Light would move to RG and Solder stays at LT. Ohrnberger was a reach as a former 4th rounder, and IMO, I'm hoping he doesn't make the 53. What's Cannon's status?

Spikes has more defensive stops per snaps than Mayo.

Really? Tackling Linebackers | ProFootballFocus.com Moreover, Spikes made more impact plays than Mayo, when Brandon was on the field. I'm not saying Mayo "sucks" I just think he's locally overrated because of his tackle numbers. So far I like what I've seen from Jarod in the preseason. He's...

I'm a big Spikes fan, that said, I hope he gets his head out of his behind, and soon.

This contradicts the title of your thread. I thought the Pats exceeded expectations in 2010. I knew their D would be a problem and their Passing game is overrated. But the team had its best draft, possibly ever and the future is bright. Yes, it sucked to lose to the Jets, but they were...

Tackles aren't everything. Mayo might have a breakout season playing the weakside on the 4-3, but in his career as a 3-4 ILB, he's been a liability in coverage and gets frequently walled off by OL on running plays. Prior to 2011, Mayo has been a poor man's Patrick Willis.

Spikes was the Past best LB in 2010. He led all LBs on the team with defensive stops (a play that results in 1 yard gain or less). BB's decision to start Guyton over him in the playoffs was disastrous. Re-Focused: Divisional Round, Jets at Patriots | ProFootballFocus.com PFF Secret...

He was bad in 2010.

You're talking about the Patriots secondary, correct?
