Great play by Chung. He destroyed the entire play with nothing but his brain.

Great film study! I love how the play was dissected in detail. I only wish they had more than one play.

I love the author's bio at the end of the column.


"Brian Filipiak
Unlike Tom Brady, Brian went undrafted and followed in his father’s footsteps as an insurance consultant. He also never played quarterback or football beyond high school. Instead, he studied print journalism and earned a communications degree from a mediocre college. When he’s not reading about football or breaking down game film, he enjoys a simple life with his fiancée and overweight Yorkie Terrier."

Great analysis--I read their articles often. Chung is really interesting, I wonder what clicked for him this time around? The coaches can spin it as using him the right way in his second stop here, but I don't think he makes that play in his first stop. Maturity? Better understanding of the game? He's a much more versatile player than his first time with us.

Side note, been a Pats fan since the late 70's--my brothers and I get together for one game a year and tomorrow is it. Pumped for the game! My first game was in '78 against the Bills. Wow has this organization come a long way.

I think that his what BB has been trying to get to for a long time, he has had some hits and misses and inflated the value of a couple of FA's... but this defense is a swiss army knife, one of the hallmarks of it are the rotations used so a lot of players can stay fresh..

Youth is also a factor.. inexperience is tempered by great coaching.
