A few Random observations occurred to me as I was previewing my Previews...
1 ~ I have never felt better, in the Bill Belichick Era, about our Depth of Talent at Defensive Tackle.
2 ~ Vince Wilfork is the very best, most dominant Nose Tackle in the Game.
3 ~ I believe that the rapidly improving Kyle Love will become a far more disruptive force, with glorious results.
4 ~ The Depth of Talent of our Dragoons ~ DE/OLB Convertibles ~ is utterly astonishing.
5 ~ The Depth of Talent of our entire Front 7 ~ because our Dragoons can move to the Flanks, and because both our Sam and our Will can play the Mike ~ is astonishing.
6 ~ Being able to boast the aggregate Pass Rushing Ferocity and Run Defending Tenacity of Chandler Jones, Rob Ninkovich, Jermaine Cunningham, Trevor Scott, Jake Bequette, and Justin Francis on one roster is absolutely mind-boggling. Wasn't it just 3 weeks ago that it was Derrick Burgess, Tully Banta Cain, and a bucket of spit???
7 ~ As awesome as Willie McGinest, Teddy Bruschi, and Mike Vrabel were, this group ~ Donta HighTower, Brandon Spikes, and Jerod Mayo ~ is fully capable of attaining their level in the next couple of years.
8 ~ If "Young & Talented, yet Experienced" is the best of all worlds ~ and it is ~ then this Defense will rapidly become the envy of the entire League ~ indeed, of the entire Belichickian Dynasty, when all is said and done, I believe. This Defense is deeper than it's ever been.
The "ReBoot", at long last...is complete.
Let the Chicken Littles quote statistics from 2011.
I'm here to say: This Defense ~ the 2012 Defense, and beyond ~ will prove to be of such explosive, disruptive, marauding Excellence...that it will be capable of carrying this team, if needs be, to a Championship.
Don't mean to kill the buzz, and I'm very pleased with the start, too, but...holy crap, it's one half against a young QB. Is this jetsinsider.com?

Front 7 looks dominating. Secondary looks very suspect.

Yet again, this pass defense allows too many completions over 20 yards. 3 or 4 of them again in this game.Very suspect? Really? Do you care to elaborate?

If a young, inexperienced QB like Locker can do this I shudder to think what a guy like Brees or Rodgers would do.
Either way, this pass defense has to tighten down and perform much better if this defense is going to get to dominating status as the OP suggests.
Not sure yet but I DEF like what I saw with front 7. We'll see as time goes on with our secondary but I saw a difference from last year already with ferocious swarming and aggresiveness from our DBs. BEST YET was seeing Jones force fumble & High'T run it in JUST LIKE BB envisioned it with those draft choices. if anything I feel a hech'ofalot confident this year with our D than last year.
Hightower earned the '54 today. He better keep it up. Those are gigantic shoes to fill.
The secondary was spotty. But overall they were in position to make the plays. I agree with the no call on McCourty in the first. He never touched the guy. He did it later too. There is no facemasking in the NFL as long as you don't touch the guy in an aggressive way. Its totally allowed to get all up in his face.
I just wish he would learn to turn.
Both were picks waiting to happen. He had the position.
