Re: CHFF: Jets find Belichick defense the cure for what ails you
I was going to post the points allowed stats. This guy ignores 10 years of data and cherrypicks one half against the Jets and one game against Drew Brees. He makes an incredibly weak case, there is nothing of substance backing...
The excruciating thing about Butler on Sunday is that in several instances he was in position but just didn't make a play on the ball, and that has nothing to do with the supporting cast. Ty Law and Asante Samuel had some of the best natural ball skills I've ever seen. Butler has to improve in...
Patriots -13 against the Bills. That's a big number, I believe the same as the Packers-Bills line from Sunday? Remember, we still have one of the top contenders in the NFL. At least we're not Bills fans.
re: Danny Woodhead: Faulk 2.0??? (merged old and new)
Any Patriots fan who has paid attention for the past 7 or so years, with our injury luck, has to be bracing for the "Kevin Faulk to IR" story in a day or two.
This is one of the few most prized and rare positions in the game. I could see us bringing another guy in, certainly if another corner goes down or if Wheatley's injury lingers, but frankly our chances of finding someone better than Jonathan Wilhite or Terrence Weatley, much less Darius Butler...
I don't know if the film thing is a sign of anything, he is probably a little banged up after the game and probably didn't get home until about 11:00. I know Wilfork said he hasn't seen the film yet and many times on Monday morning I've heard Brady say he hasn't seen the film yet, that he will...
Yeah, Curran just acts bizarrely, like I've never seen him before, constantly moving around and raising his voice, sometimes throwing things. The computer girl is cute though.
Yeah, I also think he clearly prizes controlling the line of scrimmage with all those big d-lineman, to free up the linebackers and safeties. It's interesting that statistically the Patriots are always at the bottom of the league at blitzing on first and second down, but at the top on third...
It looks like there was a lot of "Big Nickel" with Chung/Sanders and Meriweather, and Wilhite was the dime back. I think Belichick might be sending Meriweather a message. Sanders played a ton, a couple weeks ago I heard some rumblings that he might be CUT.
2005 was a really good draft, they hit on 5 of 7 picks and with a UFA (Wright). An an NFL starting QB (and how rare is that?), a pro bowl offensive lineman, a solid starting offensive lineman, a CB and a safety who started much of their careers, and now a starting DE as an UFA.
I've been thinking, could Gary Guyton fill this role, as it appears he won't be starting at ILB. He may be weak at run support but is solid in coverage, particularly on TEs. Remember his 40 time was actually faster than Meriweather and Chung.
Interesting the Eagles' starting CBs are the former Pats starters - Asante and Ellis Hobbs. Of course Asante would've cost a bundle, and Ohrnberger and especially Paxton (who in essence we traded Hobbs him for) are solid, but CB is such an important position.
