Their starting safety Rodney Harrison was lost on the third game last year. He is the equivalent of Sean Taylor and we saw what happened to our D backfield when we lost Taylor for a few games last year.
Rodney Harrison is of the hardest hitting and great safety's in the NFL. It was a big loss, plus losing Ty Law in the same year was alot to overcome in one year. Yet they still made the playoffs. Rodney Harris will be back this year and the Pat's will be one of the top 5 teams in the NFL again. They still have a great O and D line, great RB, QB and LB's. That will make them good. Plus they have great depth in the defensive line. They might not be dominate like they were 2 years ago but they will make the playoffs and who knows from there. The young CB's need to pan out for them to be great.
They are not in bad shape. Right now I would rate them on par or slightly better than the Redskins. They play in the much tougher AFC.
