1. Tom Brady is the greatest Quarterback of all time and the best in the game today. No disrespect to Packer fans. And knowing this, you know his bye will be all about improving even at an elite level of play like his. Bill Belichick outside of Vince Lombardi, is the next best coach in my eyes to ever step on a field... Give these two a bye with great talent around them and it could be very fun moving forward.
2. Running-Back Rotation - No one seems to talk about how BenJarvus Green-Ellis is one of the most valuable running backs in the NFL. His consistency, hard nose running and production level in and out of the backfield is very good. He doesn't fumble and is very good in or outside the numbers. Makes a difference on the NFL's best offense. With Kevin Faulk returning, the LSU and Patriot legend has so many ways of beating defenses especially on third downs. He is great at draws, screens and catching passes in the flats. Goalines are his specialty as well and brings some experience to that rotation. Danny Woodhead, the elusive all purpose weapon, once healthy will get more looks with Kevin being in the some of the same packages. Could spell alot of yards and touchdowns being many one on one situations to arise. Stevan Ridley - this guy who also played at LSU is a down hill, quick type of back who when given opportunies looked very good ... this rotation has the potential to take over games moving forward
3. Wes Welker, Deion Branch - Wes Welker for his size, route running, toughness, accelaration and hands make him pound for pound the best pure receiver in the game. And you know he is already dominant in the slot, now he has to be contended with on other areas of the field. Deion Branch, the former Superbowl MVP is still clutch, very smart, athletic, great at running routes and getting open. When some forget about him, he makes plays and can run after the catch as good as many in the NFL. Keep him and his ability in mind.
4. Chad Ochocinco - One of the best of his era, possible Hall of Famer and certainly the best Bengal Wide Receiver of all time can he finally step up and take over a game when called upon. Well I think the answer is yes, don't let him fool you into thinking that he lost a step or is getting old because neither is the case... Its all about him getting his mind right.
5. Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez - Rob Gronkowski is in conversation with Antonio Gates, Tony Gonzalez and Jason Witten. Aaron Hernandez is compared to Dallas Clark with Jeremy Shockey's size.. Together with great hands and alot of talent make them the best Tight End duo in the NFL and they are back together again.
6. Offensive Line - Though a few mishaps, for the most part this offensive line has been dominant both in the run and pass. With guys like Logan Mankins, Brian Waters, Sebastian Vollmer, Dan Koppen, Nate Solder, Matt Light and etc.. as they get healthy, should make it near impossible for defenses to get to Tom, after the bye.
7. Albert Haynesworth & Vince Wilfork - This duo is starting to dominate with one who is the best in the game not named Ndamokuh Suh/ or Haloti Ngata and the other who when healthy and motivated, is one of the best defensive players in the league. As Albert continues to get healthy, he continues to show why he was aquired and why he was former defensive MVP candidate. He draws triple teams, pushes offensive lineman into the Quarterback and into the running back on running plays. He is starting to do this on a consistent basis now as he continues to get healthy. Vince Wilfork on the other side simply demands attention and when not intercepting passes is stuffing runs and creating lanes for not just Linebackers but pass rushers like Anderson, Ellis and Andre Carter. After the bye week, look out.
8. Linebacking core - Jerod Mayo is top 5 Linebacker in this league coming back to team alongside another monster. Brandon Spikes, who is explosive and brings both intensity and power to go along with instincts during run and passing situations. Brandon Spikes shows that he can be a factor and a dominant player in the NFL. Not only that, but Dane Fletcher who as this squad gets more time together on the field, will look more and more impressive each time. Dane Fletcher, like the two mentioned above is extremely scentful to the ball and when focused and the switch is turned on can be highly effective.... Rob Ninkovich is no slouch either
9. Secondary - Four corners make a square, which should mean a trap. And in Devin McCourty, Leigh Bodden, Ras-I Dowling, and Kyle Arrington, you certainly have talent teams wish they had but its all about health and execution. Despite Devin McCourty's struggles this season a rookie season like last year is no fluke. This guy is talented and can play extremely well against many top flight receivers but just hasn't had the support and because of it, teams are constantly picking on him. But as Leigh Bodden, a very crafty and talented veteran has time to finally get healthy for the first time this season should take ALOT of pressure off of Devin. Not only that but Ras I Dowling, gifted rookie is versatile should contribute as well. And Kyle Arrington has turned the completly turned the page, as he leads the team and NFL in interceptions showing flashes of play making ability. Topple this with the impressive Pat Chung at safety, and you could be looking at a very strong unit moving forward.
10. Julian Edelman - this guy at one point in time was only behind Devin Hester in average of yards for punt returns. Do not forget about him.. all that needs to be said. He can be a very dangerous contributor and weapon to special teams and to the offense depending on his health and the health of others that he replaces.
Thanks for reading and stay optimistic..
