two things, since when did the Jets start 12 guys? You just included nickels to make it comparable. Next add dave harris and subtract David bowens and I want you to do the same for the pats, give me their healthy starting D w/ Adalius Thomas and Rodney Harrison. Whats the average ages then?

ProFootballTalk.com - JETS PLAYER CALLS PATRIOTS’ DEFENSE “SLOW” AND “OLD”

florio picks it up too..

I think with Guyton playing more now versus week 2 this will be an added advantage protecting the middle fo the field with mayo. plus we have merriweather in coverage.

o'neal and woods are my two worries. i am confident in the other guys.

this whole age thing is foolish. rondey IS out. AD IS out. teams DO NOT stay in base defense all game. we probably see as much nickle in 3rd down situations.

who cares about age.

I think someone needs to remind the Rats about their beloved QB...

... and what happened earlier this year.

My thoughts exactly.

Why do these clowns insist on writing checks with their mouths that their butts can't cash?

That right arm you see grabbing Favre's chest is now broken in two - Thanks for the reminder :disagreement:

Surgically repaired today... and he is NOT on the season ending IR list - meaning that, as with Mike Vrabel's broken arm a few seasons ago, you might not have seen the last of Thomas this season.
