Evaluate Ty Warren 2006 vs. 2007

[IcyPatriot]

I was actually thinking about this a few days ago. Wasn't the force he was in 2006, but I think BradyManny is right.

You watch alot of plays from this season and you either see Warren on the ground or double teamed and the play is usually on the other side. Really he had 3 guys to fight through because to tackle he also would have to get through Wilforks double team to get to the right side.

After seeing alot of the posts I honestly feel the defense is in good shape. Of course we'd all like to see more speed, but Colvin hopefully will be back and that puts AD back in the middle. So that leaves one spot as an "older" player.

It would be a great luxury for us to get a stud linebacker to start grooming. We say it every year that we need linebackers and last year we got AD.

If anything I'd like to see a later round pick used on a defensive end or OLD speed rusher for those obvious passing situations.

We are all nitpicking. If we had Colvin we'd be SB champs, but we didn't so we're not.

I was thinking about this recently as well, because in my opinion I thought Warren had made himself a star in 2006, but I did not hear much about him this year. I then thought that maybe it was just that the defense was so over-shadowed by the spectacular play by the offense. That does not appear to be the only reason that we did not hear about Warren. He did have a set back, but I am not going to dwell on it. I think he will still have a bright future.

The number of times a team ran to his side makes sense for the amount of tackles, but how to you explain the decrease in sacks? I'm guessing, but I bet more teams were passing against the Pats then they did last year.

He's made of glass, I think.

You seroious? He missed one start in his career and that was against the Jets last year....

I'm a big Ty Warren fan. I felt that after last year, he'd surpassed Seymour, even taking into consideration that Seymour was injured. However, what I noticed this year was 3 things. First, Teams didn't run to his side nearly as much as they did last year. Second, because Seymour wasn't on the field, teams were doubling up Warren instead of Seymour. Third, the d-line, in general, wasn't being used to pressure the QB like it was last year.

I wouldn't call it a set-back. I'd call it a new challenge for Warren. One that he'll have to overcome to stay at the next level. And one that he will hopefully over-come in 2008 so we see him return to the 2006 level he was at.
