Patriots-Texans: Vince Wilfork will be a tough test for Houston | Audibles – SI.com

Great read on Wilfork’s dominance against the Texans. Need another big day from big Vince.

The key to an improved day for Foster: blocking Vince Wilfork. It is much easier said than done. The massive defensive tackle was pegged as a Pro Bowl starter this season, and he has the ability to disrupt completely a team’s run game. Houston found that out first-hand earlier in the year. Wilfork’s interior presence is a major problem for the Texans, because their ground game relies on stretching the field wide and cutting back to space. Wilfork eliminates a lot of those openings.

Beating a dead horse with this yet?

This is the first time the Patriots have had their top four receivers healthy at the same time since the opening week of the season, and since the Patriots were committed to leaving Wes Welker on the bench back then, it’s really the first time all four guys have been featured all year.

Hope this trio is playing together for a long time, a Spikes extension this offseason would cement it. Still think they need one more stud coverage linebacker added to the group though…

A crazed dog just looking to seek, destroy, kill anything that moves,” Spikes described. “If you’re not in that red, blue and white, I don’t know what to say. I’m trying to destroy you any way I can, any chance I get. Any edge I can get to beat you on that play, I’m going to do it. I feel like I leave it all out there on the field. I feel like my teammates know I leave it all out, and they respect that. A lot of people respect that.
