DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION Donaldson: Don't expect much improvement from the Patriots defense

[RayClay]

Bump


for year end evaluation

Surprised you bumped that article.

or if, after Brady and the offense had put the Pats back on top in the fourth quarter, it had been able to contain the Colts, who pulled out the victory by driving from their own 20 to the winning touchdown in the final 2:17.

Just think, if we'd had a young linebacker or two to try when TBC couldn't handle the run, they'd be blossoming into vet leaders now. Seems like it's a bit much to declare a second year guy your defensive leader.

Meanwhile Alexander is still on the team. Why? Oh, it's because we need all these specialists on teams, that's why our special team tackling is so great.

Looks like we'll have to overpay to get our linebacker corps back to respectable.

Fortunately, I think Beodden, Butler and the youngsters with some seasoning, wil add to the t 3 safety rotation and just get better every year.

I'd completely forgotten about it until I needed to pull an old quote of mine and saw that it was in this thread. I found the post season re-read to be quite interesting.

You think that our coverage special teams were terrible. Please post some stats to back that up.

The New England Patriots red zone defense did not improve much, as evident against the Baltimore Ravens.
