With Dont'a Hightower out, likely sets up LB Kyle Van Noy to have green dot on helmet as primary communicator on defense

wow, that's a big responsibility for someone relatively new to the team.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Hope HT being out won't affect our run defense.

isn't forte out?

Stephen Gostkowski has distance from a long of 53 in warmups. A right-to-left breeze seemed to affect some attempts to open end of stadium.

Hoping Gost doesn't have to kick any long fg's today as we score all td's

Could be mistaken, but I think he has had it before.

 

[Mack Herron]

isn't forte out?

Yes. Powell is a tough back. Can catch and run with power.

Yep, a couple of weeks ago.

 

[BobDigital]

I am very curious to see how the D looks without Hightower. It has been playing so well lately I would hate for this to stop its momentum.

Like many others have said, KVN has been in charge of the green dot on/off since the 49ers game...

 

[luuked]

And I don't have an issue with that.. good time to give him some reps to starting building up confidence for next season.. also speaks a lot about what the coaching staff thinks about how he looks in practice that they keep going back to him despite everything..

 

[ivanvamp]

It's never easy against the Jets (well, the buttfumble (tm) game was), but it would be nice to jump out to a lead, get a few turnovers, and be in relative cruise control today.

Obviously, whatever else happens....

1. Win
2. Hope nobody gets hurt

Everything else is window dressing.

With the Division and 1st round bye in the books I hope the trolls take the day off.

the trolls need a number 1 seed

Of course they do.

Apparently you didn't watch the last two regular season games last year and that road loss (by a missed XP) in the AFC Championship game.

So let's not go down that road again.

 

[shmessy]

Ummm...isn't Mingo an LB? He's not on the inactive list and hasn't been cut to my best recollection.

 

[irishfanatic]

W, no injuries, on to Miami. Go Pats

 

[long distance]

Hope HT being out won't affect our run defense.

Run defense should be fine with Roberts. We'll see how they do in pass defense - how much of Roberts they use there and how he does.

 

[1960Pats]

Google (illicit website info). I will shortly delete this.

Edit: And now have done so.

We never had this conversation.

That explains why I didn't hear anything.

I thought that too. Unless he's STs only.

Good point. Id love to see some of Mingo. Hopefully a good game for him to try some rush stuff.
