We had this debate last year. It was pretty much a given. That most had TB nr. 1. And Seymour nr. 2. I thought Ty Warren had a spectacular season last year and was nr. 3. For arguments sake. Can we say Moss is 2nd. Who is 3?
My candidates are Samuel,Wilfork and Vrabel. I'll comment on those 3. Would also like to point out great seasons by Mankins and Koppen. But, we've seen that our interior line is usually ok even given an injury or two.
3. A.Samuel - CB - LCB is IMO the hardest position in the league to play. Considering the types of athletes he's going against. He's been so good, teams aren't throwing at him much. I won't compare him to Mike Haynes. But, he's certainly developed into a Ty Law level cb. Now, let's re-sign him.
4a M. Vrabel - lb - When I think of the face of this franchise. After Brady, he comes to mind. Smart,tough, multi-talented player. Tough vs run. Has had an excellent season rushing the passer. Probably, a better set of hands than all but 6-7 te's in the league too.
4b V.Wilfork - NG - Another tough position to play. Big Vince took some heat for his play in the AFCCG last year. Looks like he's droppped 25-30 lbs. Increasing his quickness and stamina. He's had a better season than his more highly regarded linemates Seymour and Warren. See him a lot on Fox Sports NE now Comcast. Another one of those Pats who gets it. And, always seems to say the right things.
Thoughts???...Let er rip.
