Steven Gregory, gone AND forgotten. But the fact is that I believe he's been a key factor in the decline of the Pats secondary for a number of reasons. First he's the best coverage safety the Pats have. Because he's been out Chung has had to play his position, and that's not what he does best. That also means that Wilson has to get more snaps very early early in his career and we get the inevitable rookie mistakes. And then when Chung goes out the dominos continue to fall. McCourty has to play S and while he does well, its not like he's been practicing there since July. This secondary is scarily young. PLUS has had the disadvantage of not been able to play together much this year.
Will it get better. Yes it will. Gregory was doing interviews on Monday, and they don't usually let players who aren't going to play give interview. I believe he'll be back this week and we are going to see a big difference in the success of secondary.
BTW- most teams who lose BOTH their starting safeties have problems with their secondaries. I don't know why people act shocked that it didn't look good on Sunday.
