Wilfork on Patriots D: ‘From Terrible To Pretty Good’

Yes, it’s a parade of “The Pats D is improving” articles today! We’re reaping the benefit of the defensive performance Cowboys game. Thank Hoodie for that, because I would’ve had to go into a media cocoon if it was going to be two weeks of “Where’s the pass rush” commentary. Here’s a sampling from Wilfork:

We’ve seen things go from terrible to pretty good,” said Wilfork. “Not great. We’re definitely not where we want to be, but at the same time we’re working towards it.”

“The past two weeks you’ve seen us, we have gotten better in certain areas and we’re going to continue to do that,” said the Patriots defensive captain. “Because Bill’s going to put the pressure us and we’re going to have to execute. If we execute our game plan and stop giving up mental mistakes and big plays we’ll be alright. I think the guys know that.”

Now this is my kind of article! It’s a Spikes, Haynesworth, Arrington love fest! Here’s a nice little nugget about Arrington:

Part of his success can be attributed to his versatility, instincts and awareness. As a cover corner with size, strength and athleticism, Arrington is capable of playing in the slot or outside in the Pats’ sub package. He excels at jamming receivers early in their routes, which disrupts the timing of the passing game and produces errant throws from the quarterback. His aggressiveness challenges receivers to make tough grabs under duress, and the persistent contact leads to tips or deflections in the back end.
