The duo of first-round picks, Dont’a Hightower and Chandler Jones, had a combined seven pressures and six stops in their debut.

While Gronkowski brings his own unique style, it’s Hernandez that’s the offensive hybrid every other team in the league now covets. “He’s the x factor that makes the Patriots offense hard to match up with from a personnel standpoint,” Sam Monson, an analyst for Pro Football Focus, said of Hernandez. “Gronkowski is a nightmare too, but in the same way any great tight end is always tough to defend. Hernandez forces teams to make a decision about whether to treat him as a wide receiver or part of the run game before the huddle, and that tends to change personnel groupings on defense.”

NFL Videos: Sound FX: A twin sense featuring Devin and Jason McCourty
Good video from last night’s Sound FX featuring the McCourty brothers. A good amount of smack talk from Jason especially.
One of the more surprising things that maybe I shouldn’t be that surprised by is how much of vocal leader Devin is in pregame. Guess that’s why he’s a captain, eh? But usually he seems pretty soft spoken.
And I really wonder if that uncalled PI on Devin could be a hugely lucky break in getting his season off to the right start. He looked like 2011 Devin there for a second, but it went uncalled and hopefully gives him a confidence boost that he never got in the early games last year.
