The news about Tommy Kelly is pretty brutal. In an effort to find a silver lining in all this bad news, do you think that struggling against all this adversity (and still managing to rack up W’s) will pay dividends in terms of their staying power in the play-offs?
We riding with Sopoaga, Vellano, Smith and Forston. Maybe Armstead. The only positive I see is that there will be some experienced young guys going into camp next season. But are any of them long-term building blocks? I like Vellano and Smith and think there could be a rotational spot for both. But Wilfork isn’t getting any younger and will be coming off a major injury. Maybe Kelly is back too, but he’s another year older as well. Who knows what injury he’s coming off, possibly an ACL?
Now I’ve been looking closely at defensive tackles for the last three drafts and I don’t think they will be able to put it off any longer next April.
As for this year, let’s just hope to see continued improvement from the DTs. Who knows maybe, they’ll carve out a solid niche and transform the Pats defense a bit for the better.
