NFLN: Patriots vs. Ravens Preview

NFLN: Patriots vs. Ravens Preview

Before the season I truly thought the Chargers would be undefeated headed into this game with the Patriots. How could you not? At Chiefs, Jaguars, at Seahawks, Cardinals, at Raiders, at Rams…

So when you hear about how the Chargers are first in offense and defense it kinda makes sense that they should be. Granted the Chiefs are pretty good, but that game was in a monsoon. The Cardinals are the only team left in their opponents that have seen the playoffs recently and they’re a completely different team now.

So while I don’t doubt the Chargers are a good offensive passing team, I think their defense is getting a lot of help statistically by having faced really six bad offenses. I have a feeling this one is going to be back and forth.

“Going into the fourth quarter of the game, you could see the defense growing up,” Mayo said. “We’re getting better with some big stops in overtime. I know everybody who was watching as a spectator was like, ‘The Ravens are getting the ball back, probably won’t stop them, the game’ll probably be over.’ I’m sure you were one of those guys. But guys went out there and did an excellent job, making the stops when we need to.”

“This is a no-name defense. That’s how we like it. Let me say this, it’s getting better. It’s not where we want it to be, but it’s getting better.”

ESPN Rookie Watch: Hernandez #5

ESPN Rookie Watch: Hernandez #5

The Patriots’ Aaron Hernandez is number five and Devin McCourty gets an honorable mention, but when you think of the all the Pats rookies and second year players that are forming the core of this team you can’t help but be really, really excited. 

The thought of having another draft like we had in 2010 in 2011 is frightening. Already in 2010 there are 6 real impact rookies, (Hernandez, McCourty, Spikes, Cunningham, Gronkowski, Mesko) and two undrafted guys (Deaderick, Fletcher) who are seeing more and more time.

The Patriots will have needs to fill in 2011, especially along the lines, but there are a lot of solid, talented pieces in place for this team to dominate the next decade.

I’m sure Bill Belichick has shown some lowlights this week of this 30-10 drubbing back from 2008. I had purchased tickets to this one in the middle of the summer, then Brady got hurt and well… needless to say it was little less exciting. I still can’t get the “we got more bounce in California” song out of my head.

The worst part of the whole day was knowing I would probably catch some flack about TB12’s injury, I mentally prepared a comeback. The Chargers had lost Shawne Merriman for the year as well so I told myself, if anyone makes a Brady ACL comment come right back with a Merriman comment.

Well, I’m walking into the stadium, decked out in Pats garb and some Charger fan comes up and pats me on the shoulder and asks “how’s Brady’s knee”. And what did I say back? Nothing. I froze. I blame the excessive amount of alcohol in my system. But it was a total George Costanza “that’s what I should’ve said!” moment. 

At least this weekend I’ll still be able to use Merriman as a comeback.
