Damn, I hated Dolphin Welker. So glad he 86’d that helmet too. Leave those domes to Eli Manning.

Brady to Gronk
We’re killing these fools and my hair looks great. This is the life. Oh here comes Gronk.
Hey Gronk! No, don’t worry, I’m not mad at you.
Nice job. Sorry for yelling earlier. I get like that sometimes. Okay, get outta here.
Linebacker Snap Graph 11/17
The Steeler game was all about Mayo (of course), Guyton and TBC.
Check out Shawn Crables blue line, if you believed this graph it would look like he was slowly getting more and more involved. Nope, he’s gone. But I bet he’s back on the practice squad later today. Needs more time to develop bigger calves… or something…

WEEI: BB Weekly Interview
BB is always so cheery after a win so despite an extreme lack of sleep he was happy to talk Colts.
One thing that stood out to me was how he said with the Colts no huddle you better be ready to ride with the defensive personnel you put out there at the start of the drive. Meaning the Patriots versatility will really come into play this week.
Don’t think he doesn’t remember how he felt walking off the field last year in the picture below either…

I fully expect the Gronk to feast on the small Colts defenders this week. Hey Robert Mathis, good luck holding your ground against him and Vollmer.
James Sanders Wins AFC Defensive Player of the Week
James Sanders Wins AFC Defensive Player of the Week
Kind of surprising. I take it more as an award to the defense and I hope the rest of the Patriots defenders do too. Not bad for a guy I called “solid but unspectacular” last week.
Defensive Lineman Snap Chart 11/17
As you can see it was a pass defense heavy game against the Steelers. Nothing too much you can take from this other than Gerard Warren picking up a lot of slack caused by Myron Pryor’s absence.
Deaderick and Brace are clearly run stoppers in the 3-4 and not used as much in sub-packages. They did a good job early on against the Steelers run game, the Pats got a lead, and Brace/Deaderick got to rest.
