Where was Ninkovich all game?
Pass Rush deserves some of the blame.
Where was Ninkovich all game?
Actually, where has Ninkovich been all season?!?!
I thought Randall Gay was going to be very good. Now that was speed.Add Brandon Meriweather, Terrence Wheatley, Jonathan Wilhite to the list of defensive backs.
Not if some coach ruins you. Not if some coach asks you to do things you aren't designed to do.His Rookie year was an absolute fluke, you DON'T fall off that bad from your rookie to sophomore to junior year. You SHOULD be improving.
You left out the weakest link, #24And it’s in the secondary. I guess Josh Boyer’s the cornerback coach now? Whoever that is. I think he had been the defensive backs coach, so maybe that’s a demotion. Regardless, the reality is since Eric Mangini (I know, I know) left, the Pats secondary has been pretty scary, and I’m not so sure it’s a lack of talent.
Consider: what’s the one consistent thread with Patriot players? They improve. Hell, in some areas such as the offensive line, we’re confident that if the Pats can find five humans, then Dante will “coach them up” into a solid unit.
Not in the secondary. There, you find guys going backwards. Eugene Wilson: rising star! Fell off a cliff. Darius Butler. McCourty. Now Dowling. ESPN Boston today:

“…Butler was a second-round pick of the Patriots in 2009 who contributed his rookie season (14 games, 5 starts, 3 interceptions) and started the first two games of the 2010 season before being benched and hardly contributing after that.
"Drafted in the second round of the 2011 draft, cornerback Ras-I Dowling could very well be following a similar path...”
Can’t say I have the solution, but it sure seems like there’s a problem.
I thought McCourty played a more than decent game until he gave up the costly DPI.
Give Seattle's secondary coach a blank check.
It wasn't a bad call, it was a clear case of DPI.bad call almost no contact..Regular officials would not have called it, especially at that stage of the game and the position of the ball
It wasn't a bad call, it was a clear case of DPI.
Don't worry, he's a secret superstar.Pass Rush deserves some of the blame.

looks like bad drafting rather than bad coaching
