How do you feel I was hard on Derby? It's a fact that he's only got 1 year playing the position in college and his played, overall, showed last night. If the Pats cut him, I think they'll get him onto the PS for that reason. But I'm not sure the Pats cut him.
I can't speak to his blocking, and I agree that 1 catch on 3 targets isn't great. But that was another excellent catch for 20 yards and a 1st down. And, Hogan excepted, none of the Patriots receivers put up great stats last night (Edelman 1 catch for 6 yards on 3 targets, Bennet 0 catches, 4 targets -- you'd think he was the second coming of Scott Chandler on those figures). So maybe Derby didn't look like Superman, but he still made a very good play when necessary.
Just saw that the Pats gave Freeny a 2 year extension. Must have had the deal done before last night's game. Freeny tackled more Pats players than Panther players.
There's obviously a fine line between freelancing and getting out of position and being instinctive and having a nose for the ball. You could argue it even for Chris Long's hands-up tip that gave McCourty the interception. It would be more than interesting to listen to BB discussing Long's play with him afterwards!
You seem a bit hard on Derby to me. Sure, he dropped a pass to kill a drive, but he still made a great catch later to keep a drive alive -- as he has been doing all pre-season.

Speaking of mccourtys int the real assist goes to Collins. Newton want to throw to the back out in the flat and Collins had him in his sights and would have killed him.
Newton saw it an lazily look back toward the middle and flung it.
Amazing how a guy so young could be part of the reason Pot Roast gets shown the door. I don't think he'll be taking Branch's spot or anything, but he and Malcolm Brown AND Anthony Johnson could be a lethal DL rotation as early as next year. Valentine is a beast and his progression for the last 3 weeks has been cool to watch.

If you had Anthony Johnson and Vincent Valentine over Easley and Knighton back in May you'd have been laughed off the forum but that appears what is gonna happen.
