“I can’t speak for (Jerod) Mayo and Spikes, but from my standpoint, I’ve just got to do what I was coached,” Hightower said. “I made one mistake and tried to correct it on different techniques and things that didn’t work that I should have known wouldn’t work. But after talking to (linebackers) coach (Pepper) Johnson and looking up to Mayo and Spikes, them talking to me on the sideline and all through this week, they’ve been in my corner. “I definitely feel like this week was a big improvement for me. Whenever I have those two guys and Pepper Johnson in my corner, I can only go up. Those guys have really helped me a lot this week.”
Safety James Sanders has slowed down and hasn’t exactly lit things up over the last two seasons with the Falcons and Cardinals, but I’m still puzzled why the Patriots released him in 2011. Given all the struggles they’ve had at safety in 2011 and 2012, and the thin depth each season, it’s hard to believe Sanders couldn’t have helped. Is Steve Gregory really an upgrade?

What’s Wrong with Wilfork? | ProFootballFocus.com
Interesting breakdown from Steve Palazzolo on Wilfork’s season which we’ve touched on a bit here.
It all comes down to Wilfork playing better when he’s asked to two-gap at the point of attack. He’s able to use his strength to move offensive lineman and he has the awareness to find the ballcarrier. Wilfork is much less effective when he’s forced to shoot the gap in between two linemen. This job is generally reserved for smaller, quicker defensive linemen and it does not mesh well with Wilfork’s talents.
