I don't live in NE, so this was the first game I've watched. I read that Sanders got a new contract and read the stories about how much Meriweather has improved. Last night, I saw nothing. Absolutely nothing.
I am not a Sanders fan, I didn't think he was particularly effective last night. Meriweather was in on some plays. I hope Chung can put Sanders on the sideline. Sanders tackles never have any pop and that's what the Pats are missing at safety.

I'm not a Sanders fan either, but to give him credit I saw him make a couple of tackles after others missed. He may not make bone crushing tackles, but he generally does wrap the other guy up.
That said, I'm hoping Chung moves into the starting rotation by mid-season. I think Sanders is a great 3rd safety, but only an adequate starter.
Since I saw Sanders make a big hit to stop a first down and a shoestring tackle, (both in the 4th quarter, I believe) I'd have to say those stats are wrong.
Just checked NFL.com. Your stats are wrong.
17 guys had 2 or 3 tackles, here's a smattering.
V. Ciurciu 3-1
G. Guyton 3-1
P. Lenon 3-2
A. Thomas 3-2
J. Wilhite 3-0
B. Meriweather 2-1
J. Sanders 2-2
Earlier in his career, Milloy was a playmaker. For a couple of years, Rodney was a playmaker. The Patriots have no playmakers at that position.
These are not my stats. They come from the game book @ patriots.com. I didn't include tackles or assists. Sometimes safeties make tackles at or near the LOS. Other times, they make tackles 20 yards (or 73 yards) downfield. When BB cut Lawyer before the 2003 season, the main reason was because he hadn't made any big plays in 2002 (See Patriot Reign, p. 176). Earlier in his career, Milloy was a playmaker. For a couple of years, Rodney was a playmaker. The Patriots have no playmakers at that position.
