Curran:Loss all on McCourty

[BananaRepublican]

Newton's 1st law and all that,

Newton's first law is to hand out as many parking fines as possible.

Newton's first law is to hand out as many parking fines as possible.

I thought Newton's first law was to pout on the sidelines after throwing three picks in a game.

Starting to lose respect for BB, Patriots Organization

After 4 years, if you haven't figured out that this would be a pass first league, and continue to stick with mediocre cornerbacks and semi mediocre safeties, than that's that..........

I dont get the BLEEP logic to that? What's the problem, why cant you sign a Pollard, a Joseph, a Landry, a Bell, and so many others.... I dont fkin get it, where you going with Mcourties and Arringtons.......

Sorry but it is what it is......and I've been here since 2008 emphasazing the need of a top CB but no........

So .......... :bricks:

PS> The top 3-4 rated teams have at least one or 2 elite CB or Safeties... Houston, Atlanta, Arizona, etc

Very simple...mccourt is no good...he was bad last season and is worse this year...

I fail to understand why BB keeps him...I applaud the defensive picks the Pats made to improve the d this year, but I did not understand why most of the secondary was not replaced.

It was a mistake to keep mccourt. The definition of insanity is expecting different results with the same players!!!

I knew the Pats would loose to Baltimore on the last drive because of the secondary.

My bumper sticker reads, 'Impeach D. McCourty!"

I hope we are all more relaxed about McCourty. McCourty is a good CB. No CB will be 100% effective and few have good hands. McCourty is better than most CBs. Maybe not elite but still darn good.

Still feel this way? McCourty is good CB. No CB will be 100% effective and few have good hands. McCourty is better than most CBs. Maybe not elite but still darn good.

We'll definitely find out more today about the secondary. They will all get picked on. I think that the measure of success is not whether McCourty, Wilson, Arrington and Chung can break up or intercept passes. It's more about being in the right place to make good clean tackles.

Manning is going to complete 25 to 30 passes today and throw for 300 or so yards. It's what that turns into that matters. His receivers are pretty good but not elite nor with elite speed. These DBs need to stay in their assignments and cover their men or play their positions in zone coverage.

Commentators have been talking all week about "confusing Peyton Manning." That ain't happening. What can happen is being in good position and breaking up a play here and there but mostly controlling yards after the catch.

McCourty is clearly able to do that, as are the rest.

The trouble with the 2012 NE defense is no Andre Carter.

The problem with 2012 Andre Carter is no quadriceps tendon.

Did Curran ever apologize?

BB did make an oblique reference to the mis-placed McCourty criticism when he said that McCourty had a good game after some people were saying he should be cut.
