Pats Number One AFC Points against Defense

First game back and recovering from injury. Past history says he should add a dynamic to it once he gets back up and running at full speed.

The most important aspect of Nink's return is that it makes it possible to have a 4 man rotation (Long, Sheard, Nink and Flowers) of our pass rushers so that they are all fresh throughout the season. Nothing worse than to see your pass rush get worn down in the later parts of the game.

but it's not a defense that scares teams. Like Denver last year and Seattle 3 years ago. I want a defense like that.

Scares teams? What does that mean exactly? Therapy inducing? All Hallows Eve memorializing? Satan worshipping? Clowns in highway median brush piles scary maybe?

If you don't think that other teams' offensive staffs do not plan protections say against the A gap blitz of HT and Collins or double team Branch on run plays, then I'm not sure there's much to really discuss about how the NFL game planning portion of pre-game coaching and in-game execution and adjustments works.

That Seahawks scaring factor really worked against the Patriots offense in the Super Bowl didn't it? About the same as the Rams offense versus the Pat's very non-scary defense in 2001 perhaps?
