Patriots DE Andre Carter had another solid game, proving to be a steady contributor on the edge for the defense. He shows good leverage in the running game, as well as tenacity and technique and the passing game, pressuring the quarterback perhaps more than any Patriots rusher. Carter has made very few negative plays through the first five games of the season and is rarely caught out of position. An impressive start for the veteran.

How about a little Welker highlight film for this Monday night?

The Patriots ran 81 snaps Sunday, including plays nullified due to penalties. Revis and Welker both played 78. The Jets put Revis on Welker on 45 plays – 26 pass plays, 19 run plays. Of the 26 pass plays, Revis appeared to have man coverage on Welker either 21 or 22 times. On the first play of the third quarter, when Tom Brady hit Welker for 73 yards down the middle, it was unclear who was in primary coverage – Revis or safety Eric Smith. On the other 21 pass plays, Revis allowed one four-yard completion to Welker and nothing else. Welker’s other three catches came with Revis not in coverage on him.
On the plays Revis was not on Welker, he was on Deion Branch 21 times.
On the plus side for Welker, he did have five catches for 124 yards, and his long completion led to a Brady touchdown throw early in the third quarter that gave New England a 10-point lead.
On the plus side for Revis, Brady had thrown to Welker an average of 14.3 times per game before Sunday; on this day, he targeted Welker eight times and completed five. Welker had caught 25 balls for 375 yards in the previous two weeks. So he was clearly diminished in his effectiveness Sunday, but the Patriots scored 30 points, and Revis wasn’t an overwhelming presence on the other receivers.
You pick the winner. Seems like more Welker than Revis to me, but very close.

Bottom Line Apparel presents The Bottom Line Patriots Player of the Week
This weeks choice for The Bottom Line Player of the Week is an easy one. Benjarvus Green-Ellis is the ideal Patriots running back. He doesn’t fumble. He always gets positive yards. And he’s a punishing physical runner that does whatever is asked of him.
It’s been a long road for Benny to get to where he is now. As recently as early 2010 no one was sure if he was even going to stick on the Pats roster. But now he’s one of their most consistent and trusted weapons who just had a career day.
