Too many big, strong, tough defenders. Not so many fast, athletic ones.
Vince Wilfork - NG - Perfect NG. Not a great pass-rusher
Kyle Love - DT - Strong, tough run defender. Not a great pass rush. Is he a good compliment to Vince considering he can't get after the qb.
Jerrod Mayo - LB - Strong tough lb. Not as athletic as i though he'd be. Doesn't make a lot of plays in space.
Brandon Spikes - LB - An absolute force vs the run. Not so good in space.
Donta Hightower - LB - Looks similiar to Spikes. A little faster
Devin McCourty - CB - Big cb. Tackles well. Plays ST. Coverage..Not so good
Pat Chung - SS - Big, tough run stuffer. Coverage. Not so good.
See a pattern? Are we building a defense to stop old man football? The game is all about getting players matchups in space. We don't seem built to defend that style of football. Chandler Jones was a great move up and pick. Thank God. Is the Hightower picking looking a little repetitive?
