What’s your opinion of Alphonso Dennard? (I’m sure I’m not spelling that right) I’ve heard some people say recently that he isn’t that good, but I seem to remember him playing pretty well after mid season.

He was really their most consistent corner the second half of last season. I really like him and though he’s a little undersized, he’s probably the best RCB they’ve had in a long time (Hobbs/Arrington). He’s aggressive and tough in man-to-man, and does a good job getting his head around.

I’m hopeful he’s not headed to jail, because if he is the trickle down effect in the secondary will hurt. Arrington will be thrust back to a starting role outside, Ryan becomes the nickelback, and Cole will get in there as well.

And that, to me, says everything you need to know about Bill Belichick,” Kelly said. “It’s not just about scheme, it’s about understanding the concept of the game and making those adjustments as the game unfolds.
“With the players, we were a little bit, ‘This is your job. Do your job.’ Instead of, ‘You can do your job.’ ”

Waiting for the game to start and I’m looking back at some old game film, this shot from the 2009 Bills opener. This was always a defensive front that intrigued me and it was one we only saw in limited use in 2009.

Technically it’s a 4-3, with the defensive line Warren-Wilfork-Wright-Green. Obviously the defensive left is a brick wall, while the defensive right are two pretty good pass rushing defensive ends. Remember this is the year they got rid of Seymour.

Whereas in most 4-3s the outside linebackers would be off the line of scrimmage, here they are on it, as if they were 3-4 OLBs.

All of this leaves one MLB in the middle of the field. I’ve asked a couple X and O guys who are smarter than me about it but have never gotten a clear explanation of what’s going on here.
