ESPN Boston: Arrington shining in slot corner role
ESPN Boston: Arrington shining in slot corner role
All off-season long we envisioned the Patriots secondary with McCourty and Bodden on the outside and Arrington taking over the star position in the slot. But earlier in the preseason, especially against Detroit, Arrington struggled there and it made us question if he had the quick change of direction skill needed to play there.
Often times slot corners are the third corners on the depth chart but their position can be even harder to play than on the outside where you have the sidelines to help you.
As you can see from the stats below Arrington has had a good start to the season, with three interceptions and giving up receptions on just 38.6% of his targets.
- Devin McCourty – 36 targets, 24 receptions (66%), 378 yards, 3 TD, 0 INT, 129.2 QB rating
- Ras-I Dowling – 7 targets, 3 receptions (42.9%), 74 yards, 0 TD, 0 INT, 81.8 QB rating
- Kyle Arrington – 13 targets, 5 receptions (38.5%), 79 yards, 0 TD, 3 INT, 19.9 QB rating
- Leigh Bodden – 16 targets, 10 receptions (62.5%), 176 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT, 120.8 QB rating
That the Pats can score at will, that Tom Brady is at times human and that their secondary must improve quickly. The Pats are a top team but are a work in progress on defense. Stevan Ridley looks like a big-time back.

ProFootballWeekly: Soloman Wilcots breaks down Pats-Raiders
(The Raiders) have to get pressure in the face of Tom Brady, not pressure off the edge or corner, but pushing the pocket into the face of Brady, forcing him to go left or right. They don’t want to let him step up in the pocket, which is easier said than done, but they have the personnel to do it. Seymour has every reason to get going in this one.

Last time the Patriots visited Oakland in 2008 Jamarcus Russell actually didn’t look quite so horrible.
