[The Titans] need to stay away from the middle of the line, because the Patriots have an advantage there with Vince Wilfork and Brandon Spikes up the middle. I think they’ll try to test the edges of the Patriots’ defense. When you have an athletic quarterback like Locker, he can bootleg out the other way, and get on the edge with his athletic ability. He can hold that defender back because he’s checking for that bootleg or quarterback run. That can open up some running lanes. So Locker is another aspect in the running game that the Patriots will have to account for.

New England is historically the leading and prototypical “bend but don’t break defense” even in the down defensive years, and 2011 was no exception. The Patriots forced opponents to march 19.23 yards for every point scored. To put it in perspective, opponents needed to churn out a daunting 134.6 yards to score the equivalent of a TD and extra point. Only San Francisco was better.

Asked around the league after the Patriots made the Michael Hoomanawanui signing official on Wednesday, and while he’s a good receiver (20 catches for 229 yards and three touchdowns in two seasons with the Rams), the one thing that came up on each occasion was the fact that he is a better-than-average blocker. Our pals over at Pro Football Focus have Hoomanawanui rated as a 2.7 pass blocker (ninth-best among all tight ends last season) and a 2.2 run blocker in 2011, putting up those numbers in 401 snaps last season with the Rams.
