Patriots defensive trends - Reiss' Pieces - Boston.com
Along with Josh's PC, this might be the weeks most interesting bit of reporting (besides the impending signing of Ty Law and Junior Seau ).
Very nice breakdown of our defense.
Excerpt:
Jerod may well be a lock for DROY. My question is, can a rookie win DPOTY?

Excerpt:
- Adalius Thomas is part of every personnel package, as no defender has played more (99 percent of the team's snaps). He is one of two players who has been spotted leading the defensive huddle, along with Mike Vrabel (81 percent). While he's an outside linebacker in the base 3-4, he will play off the line at times in sub packages.
- Jerod Mayo has scaled what was supposed to be a steep learning curve for a rookie linebacker in the Patriots' defense. He's been a starter from Day 1, playing more than any defender other than Adalius Thomas and James Sanders (93 percent), and leads the team in tackles (65).
