2. Butler is doing very well for a rookie and with he and Bodden the Pats are gonna have two really good starters by season's end.
3. McGowan is a steal and he's really good(we need all the safeties for the long haul)
4. Meriwether is developing into a very good player. he bailed out Sander on that long pass early in the game.
5. With the progression of the secondary the Pats are trusting them which is enabling more aggresive playcalling.
6. The playcalling has radically changed, become more diverse and more aggresive since the Jets game. makes me wonder what happened behind the scenes.
7. We are going to have a very good defense when Mayo comes back.
8 Ron Brace has not appeared. I wonder why.
9. We can run the ball against good defenses.
Point 6. I can't help but wonder about that as well.
This is a young defense, they needed to get the base schemes down before delving into the exotic blitzes and rushes.
By mid-season, they'll be pulling all kinds of fronts, looks, and formations.

so play conservative game 2 and go exotic game 3 and 4?
too much of a jump. something happened.
we are not talking game 2 and then game 12
The physicality with which this team played. I thought they certainly outmuscled the Ravens in this game.
I gotta go with the play of Mike Wright. I never knew Wright had so much explosion off the line of scrimmage. It will be interesting to see if he can keep up this level of play or if fatigue will be a factor as we get closer to the midpoint of the season.
What's your biggest surprise this week?
ohh yea...its amazing the difference
i noticed when we played the bills....this defense LIKES to hit
lol, was missing that
TBC has a suprisingly quick first step off the line.
I was also pleasently suprised by how well Butler played and he was being tested by a veteran receiver.
