It's easy, and only takes a few moments.The guy can't keep contain vs the run, can't apply any kind of pressure on the edge, and has been terrible vs the pass. Anyone want to try and convince me otherwise? Our outside backers have been terrible ever since Willie left.
When Rossie was on, he set the edge and blew it up.
And No, i don't think AD is a bust
I don't think he's been that bad. Vrabel has had similar problems this season, and Bruschi is just a body out there at this point. Thomas at least has flashed occasionally. Mayo has really been the best linebacker out there consistently, and he's just a rookie learning on the job. He gets out of position sometimes, but he hits like a ton of bricks, has great range and is clearly instinctive for the position. I just think the defense overall is playing poorly, it's way too harsh to single out one guy, even if he did have a down game.
Good call he is a huge bust,Bill B made a mistake on him.

I definitely do not think he's the only problem. As you said Bruschi is just a body, Vrabel can only bring pressure when we scheme, Mayo is a rookie and will make mistakes. Wilfork seems to either have an amazing game or a terrible game. Our corners give have no closing speed, James Sanders is very meciocre. The only guys on defense that I thought have looked consistently okay are Rodney, Meriweather, and Mayo.

time to trade him to buffalo, its where all the pats well past their prime go
Merriweather should be starting ahead of Sanders, and I'm a big Sanders fan. The defense needs his range out there badly. With the defensive line struggling to control blockers and collapse the pocket, the team needs more range out there to compensate.
For a first or second rounder???? Oh boy, let's do it..
what did we get for bledsoe? lets offer same deal. i dont remember, did we get anything for milloy?
