When it comes to the run, I think it's pretty safe to look at
Wilfork
Love
Mayo
Spikes
Hightower
as an excellent group of 5. The question, to me, is what teams are going to be able to do at the edges of the D-line. If Jones and his counterpart show as run stoppers, this will be a very difficult 7 to run on.
I wonder if teams will run the spread offense against us since the Pats are still questionable for pass defense. Other great teams we've seen against the run- Steelers and Ravens, for example- also had great ballhawking safeties, multiple star pass rushers, and good cornerbacks. Hopefully Mayo and Hightower will not be liabilities in coverage.

Did anybody else notice at the end of the telecast, of the Pats - Titans game, that Phil Simms said this could very well be THE BEST Front 7 in the NFL, before the year is out?
Quite some high praise, don't you think?
Is that unrealistic, or a real possibility, IYHO? Discuss.
