Bruschi: [Jamie] Collins was productive last night and you saw a lot of positive things – 10 total tackles. He had some positive plays in coverage. But your playing time on this defense will depend on the game-plan of the week. If this was a team that had a different offensive philosophy, maybe you’d see a little bit less of Collins. The Patriots were mostly in sub defense last night. So do they now consider him the sub LB? In a game when you might play more regular personnel, we might not see him as much. But you can call this is a big step in his development. Biggest game of the year, against a top-ranked, and he played and produced. He can use this momentum to earning more playing time.
