Patriots – One opposing scout offers his take on the Patriots’ offseason moves – WEEI | Christopher Price
Good stuff in this article from Chris Price. Will Allen could really address the issues the Pats have had at slot corner over the past few seasons. It was better in 2011 (they were destroyed by #1 WRs) but Allen can do a number of things and that will make him extremely useful.
The [Will] Allen signing was a relatively under-the-radar pickup, but it appears that some around the league view the 33-year-old as a high-quality addition. He’s certainly developed a rep as a good slot corner in recent years – according to Pro Football Focus, he was in the slot for 419 snaps last season in Miami (tops in the league) and he yielded 0.81 yards per coverage snap for 3rd best in the league among slot corners. In addition, he allowed a catch once every 11.6 coverage snaps, a rate that was sixth best in the league at the position.
Super Bowls, you name it,” Brown began. “I was a part of quite a few unique games in Patriots history. You talk about the Snow Bowl against Oakland, the tuck rule. The overtime game against the Dolphins (in 2003 when Brown caught an 82-yard pass for the win) and obviously the Super Bowl games we had. Even back into 1996, that last game we had against the Giants to get home-field advantage (a game in which the Pats trailed 22-0 before Brown preserved a drive with a third-down catch while lying on his back). There’s so many special moments. It’s hard to put my finger on just one. Maybe the 2006 game against the San Diego Chargers being able to get the ball back from Marlon McCree. Go with that one.

I realize now how much the fans really did appreciate what I was doing with the organization,” said Brown in a conference call with reporters. “I always played hard for my teammates … I really wanted to go out there and make our fans happy.

Troy Brown is the ultimate team player and one of the greatest competitors I have ever had the privilege of coaching. Offense, defense, special teams – if there was a job to do, Troy embraced it and did it at a championship level. No matter the situation or conditions, Troy raised the bar of excellence and helped create a winning tradition we strive to uphold. The bigger the game, the more Troy stepped up. There is no more deserving player of any accolade that comes his way than Troy Brown.
