The Texans released Ed Reed, and while I’m not really sure how much he has left in the tank, I do know that BB has as big of a player crush on him as anyone he’s ever coached against. Just like I said this offseason, never rule it out when BB admires a player like that. Remember what Junior Seau supposedly had left in the tank? And they brought him back in 2009.
So with Gregory out a couple weeks the question is whether or not Reed is a better option than Duron Harmon at strong safety. Going against Peyton Manning in a couple weeks, I’d think Reed’s savvy might come in handy. We’ll see…

Patriots-Panthers Preview
The New England Patriots finally looked like the real Patriots two weeks ago, when they put on a 55-31 drubbing on a relatively solid defense in the Pittsburgh Steelers. After weeks of Tom Brady having to deal with an inconsistent and less-than-healthy offensive supporting cast, week nine offered up his healthiest weapons since the season started – with only running back Shane Vereen not at his disposal. That lead to the 55-point explosion, and had Patriots fans everywhere thinking of 2007 again.
With the gritty Carolina Panthers hosting New England in Week 11, the Pats better hope that’s the case. After all, Carolina has five straight wins to their name, including a tough road victory against the battle-tested San Francisco 49ers. The Patriots have been no stranger to solid defenses and close games in 2013, though, as six of their games in 2013 have been decided by a touchdown or less.
Still, as battle-tested as the Pats clearly are in 2013, they have yet to face a team as hot as the Panthers. The intense matchup is actually a reasonable $245 on average this week, with a slick get-in tag of just $81. Despite the tough matchup for the Pats, this one is 6% cheaper than the average price for Patriots tickets on the road this year, while this one is an incredible 70% more expensive than normal Carolina Panthers tickets at home.
New England is on the road against a hot team that just beat the 49ers, so no one would be all that upset or surprised if they dropped to 7-3 here. However, their two losses one the year came when their team was far from 100 percent. Now, with their roster finally getting healthy it may be exactly what the Patriots need to get to 8-2. One thing is for sure, though, that New England with Rob Gronkowski, Danny Amendola and Shane Vereen can’t be music to the Panthers’ ears.

52.5 yards per game. The difference in passing yards allowed through nine games in 2012 vs. nine games in 2013. The Patriots preach team defense more than just about anyone, but it’s hard not to look at the this year’s pass defense numbers against last season and not credit the work of the secondary. Through nine games in 2013, the Patriots have yielded an average of 232.8 passing yards per game (13th in the league). Through nine games last year, New England was allowing an average of 285.3 passing yards per game (29th in the NFL).

There’s nothing better than playing on ‘Monday Night Football’ and playing against one of the best teams in the NFC,” he said. “That’s what it’s all about for me. It’s time to get back to work. It’s football season and it’s time for us to go out and see what we’re made of in the second half of the year.
