He picked a good # to make a name with. I think the most notable 31 for the Pats in my memory was Jimmy Hitch****
Lets hope he is comfortably eased into the defense for the tougher games down the stretch. Could be a game changer by taking away the opposition's big reciever. A couple of INT's wouldn't hurt either ! :rocker:

My expectations are realistic, to just assume he can step into this defense, understand its subtleties and make an impact might be more difficult than we believe...
He may make us better, but time will tell. I am not expecting him to play every down this Sunday, unless they change to man to man coverage.. which I doubt.

Agreed. I'd like to see his tenure with the Patriots begin on a positive note. A note where he eases in and makes a play or two....and hopefully buoys that whole groups' mentality (the whole group must be pretty down considering every Sunday they have to hear how bad everyone thinks they are).
Unfortunately it's game 10 coming up and the reality is he won't have much more than this Sunday to ease in.
Where I'm dubious is the hope that he is going to take away the other team's top receiver. That's a lot to ask of a guy who hasn't seen the field in 5 weeks and is coming in mid season to a new team. If he can? Great! We hit the jackpot. Yet him playing adequately on the same side of the field will be enough to make the difference considering the story so far frequently is: 'The Patriots opponents always seem to have just barely enough to pull out the win in the end OR just barely not enough to pull out the win it in the end'. Just adding that adequate CB to the right side of the field should be enough to change the story to: 'The Patriots opponents always seem to have just barely not enough to pull out the win in the end OR clearly not enough to pull out the win it in the end'
