Great. Now there'll automatically be yet another asterisk next to whatever post-season success the Pats enjoy.

Re: Wow Kiper Misses the Point I hope you're kidding about this, because it's really laughable. The past dozen drafts have each included an average of roughly two dozen RB's. Of those, maybe 1/3 made even a modest contribution and only about half of THOSE have had an impact beyond their...

Well, they're deeply offensive to me.

(1) At DEN 17, McGahee back to Tebow's right, Thomas split wide left, Royal motions from the right flank to slot left with Arrignton following, Fells stays tight right on the LoS. Pats start in 4-man front with Ninko, Ellis ,Wilfork and Deaderick L-to-R, Fletcher at SLB, Spikes in the middle...

I guess I'm less interested in seeing wrinkles than I am in seeing confidence, aggressiveness and execution, especially on defense, for a full 60 minutes.

If Mankins can't go (and I don't think he will), I think Donald Thomas retains the LG spot next to Light. Connolly stays at Center, Waters at RG and Cannon/Solder keep their (now) customary "rotation" at RT. If Vollmer is active, he may see a few snaps late, if the game is well in hand, but I...

All of the above pretty much describes Jeff Tarpinian. I'd hazard a guess that there's something about him that BB really likes, since he was kept on the 53-man over Yeatman and Lee Smith.

I've seen way, way worse many times - with the OL from the Center to the OTs looking like a flock of geese. With this one, the whole line appears to be skewed slightly back starting from the RT. Drawing a stright line from there through the helmets, the guy on the far left isn't far back...

Childress and Bobby Ross as the coaches? :bricks: Thanks for the roster link, though.

BGE is mostly a one-cut, straight-ahead power back. Given a decent push by the OC and OGs to open a hole in the middle of the LoS, BGE will nearly always get his 4 yards. First contact rarely brings him down, even when he's moving slow, unless its 3 guys jumping on his back simultaneously...

Edelperson!!

Well, it's true that I never saw Mayo wearing a grey trench coat with the collar turned up. Perhaps that's what . . . .

No. :deadhorse:

I actually thought that Deaderick was doing a pretty good job of helping to contain Tebow, get pressure on him, and to chase him down - from the RDE spot in the 3-4 (NOT from OLB). When he wasn't getting held, that is.

Tebow actually did that to Mayo a couple times, once resulting in a 34-yd scamper by Ball that set up Tebow's 2yd plunge for Denver's last points in Q4. The problem, of course, was not with the "spy" concept, it was Mayo's eff-up.

I'll confess that I haven't watched Georgia at all this season (or even much last season) and was going off something I'd read recently about his prospects at OG combined with the "P" (position change) qualifier accompanying his NFP rating. Having done follow-up research on Jones since I...

Up until the holding call on that 4th down, the Broncos OL was getting away with flagrant violations on nearly every play. They cut out a lot of that (but not all) after that first flag. Also, the Pats switched up to more of a 2-gapping 30-front and appeared to be controlling the Broncos'...

The Patriots, Bills and KC appear to have done so. Why Lebeau chose to stack the box and allow Tebow to do exactly what Rothlisberger usually does (run around and extend the play to a long pass completion) is totally beyond me. It's almost as if Lebeau hasn't been paying attention to his own...

Well, if Denver's coverage pays as much attention to Ocho as they did to Wallace, Gronk, Ahern and Welker are going to have very, very big days.
