Reiss: Faulk Injured (Injury Report)

http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/reiss_pieces/

October 20, 2006
Davis, Faulk added

The Patriots added two players to their injury report today, with linebacker Don Davis (lower leg) and running back Kevin Faulk (ankle) now questionable for Sunday's game in Buffalo. That gives both players, who were present at the start of practice but were reported to have missed at least a portion of team drills, a 50-50 chance of playing.

The rest of the team's injury report remained the same.

Sorry Chris, your post wasn't there when I added my link to Reiss. Thought you were snoozing today.

I'm sure they were injured in practice. I'm hoping they aren't that bad... Faulk in particular. He's important now more than ever in the passing game.

Hopefully Faulk plays, we need him active this week.

Hobbs will play, though he may be limited to platooning at FS with Hawkins and playing nickelback, like he did against Miami.

Some good reads Chris, I especially liked this little item from the Tipsheet link:

Pats rarely see red: The New England defense is not dramatically better than Buffalo when it comes to stopping opponents from scoring touchdowns in the red zone. The Patriots are allowing touchdowns 50 percent of the time, while the Bills surrender six points 58.8 percent of the time. The big difference however, comes in the number of red zone opportunities given to their respective opponents. While Buffalo has allowed 17 red zone penetrations on the season, New England has allowed just six, which is the fewest in the league.

Wow, what a great example of how it's possible to present stats out of context to prove a point you want to make.

A. "The Pats defense sucks! They have given up a TD fully half the time in the red zone this season!"

B. "The Pats defense rules! They have allowed only three red zone TDs this entire season!"
