I kinda go the other way and with every play he or Butler makes I think "the chances of keeping Hightower are going down". I can't see the Pats letting Butler or Collins get away--they'll make competitive offers at least, I assume--but that will have a domino effect down the roster.
My fear is some idiot team like Jacksonville coming out with some ridiculously high offer that the Pats will never match... I guess that's how it is these days in the NFL, though.
 
You would think with the beef we have at DT we would have a stronger run D.
Vellano was in at DT on the TD run, so that explains a lot of it. Gotta hope we won't be seeing any of him in the real season.
 
I really feel like McCourty has regressed since 2014 and he got his pay day. He just plays way to soft to be called Elite

thank you I have been saying this for a while but patsfans love mcourty to death and hammer me everytime I criticize mcourty

Mcourty is the heart and soul of this D but he does not make enough game changing plays.
 
This is Gonna be that game... That schitty preseason game where the team plays like schitt and the media goes nuts
 
Can they just cut Vellano already, he's awful.

Yeah, that's definitely a big concern. I'm really surprised he wasn't extended this offseason.
 
Defense not impressing. But with sheard in there on D, and having our offensive weapons in the game so that the O might actually move the chains a couple times and give the D a breather, things will be better
 
That was good but he locked on him a bit too much.
 
Bolden's been running with great energy this offseason. Hmm...
 
Woo 1st. Hopefully relieves some of the stress jg is feeling

I think this view underestimates the effect of CB play on what safeties can do. McCourty is playing more conservatively out of necessity. In 2014 we saw what McCourty can do with really good corners flanking him. Since then, we've had one very good corner in Butler (who isn't as good as Revis was in '14, though that's not really a knock on the guy), and then a pretty steep dropoff.
 
Hopefully Bennett stays healthy. He appears to be the G man's binky
