New Englands second was injuried all season yet they didn't have a drop off in performance because they are protected by their d-line. The d-line is by far the most impact position on the defensive side of the ball. And your right about the C Rogers of S Merriman was dumb. But its night like we didn't need a pass rusher that year either. We've needed a pass rusher for a decade now. Its just our sorry as personnel department.

I can't say whether or not I agree with this. How many of these are coverage sacks? It's a very tough call.
I started out as a safety (before switching to wr) my freshman year in college, and all we were shown was clips of the patriots secondary over and over. They were ridiculous.
Scheme wise especially, they ran such a fierce secondary. It was really fun to watch. Granted, that was in 05... I still think it's too tough to call.
