Assuming wilfork, mayo, and kelly from IR and the rookies get more playing time, along with talib returning, as well as the players from the draft, how much improvement should we expect from the defense
They certainly showed a lot of flashes early this season when they were at or close to full health. As the injuries piled up they slowly went into a statistical free fall, especially against the run.
My expectations will be high, especially if they bring back Talib. If they don’t bring him back my expectations will be a little lower until they prove their secondary can be good.
Say they lose Talib but bring in someone like Brent Grimes, I’d say the potential is there, but they’ll have to win me over.
With (Manning) it is every … single … thing. It’s cadence. It’s formations. It’s little adjustments he’ll have guys make in pass routes. A protection on an inside-the-20-yard-line play. The changes he’ll make on third down, or with play action. But it’s all within the context of their offense. And it’s not 50 different things. Maybe there’ll be five plays in a game that you’ll think, ‘I haven’t seen that before.’ Or: ‘I haven’t seen that in several weeks.’ But you know you’ve seen all the rest of it before, and somehow he’s still making it work.
Good read, Belichick’s respect for Manning is clear. No one knows the game better than Belichick and no one has a better appreciation of Peyton than he does.
Assuming the Broncos return most of their team from this year, even with or without Decker, you have to wonder what the Pats do this offseason, specifically with Peyton in mind. Interior pass rush and press corners are clearly what you need to have any chance.

There was a few seconds there where he was dancing and some of my other guys around me, like (Larry) Izzo to my right, and Tedy Bruschi is back in the back and we’re all just kind of shooting eyes around looking at each other like, ‘Look at this,’ ” Chatham said. “When security ran on the field, that’s when he started his run. He ran toward our end of the field. He had his little 15 seconds of fame, so I instinctively said, ‘All right, enough,’ and just nabbed him down.

The Hoodie is watching…
What do you think the price tag will be for veteran receivers like Boldin and Nicks? Basically, I’m going to assume that Larry Fitzgerald and similar players are never coming here because the Pats just don’t make moves like that, but who do you think would fit the Pats’ years/dollars parameters enough to actually end up in NE?
It was my understanding when I started Pats blogging that there would be no math…
