Friday Q&A, Pats pals! Let me have it!!!!
“A lot of teams don’t really have as much responsibility as far as (their ends) just getting off on the ball; they just want them to get off, get off, get off. For me, I can’t do that because it messes up how our team plays on defense. So my job really is to force the quarterback to make a decision early by getting pressure on him, but not running behind him. That’s one big thing that’s always told to me: never be behind the quarterback, that’s the worst place for a D-lineman to be. “So my approach is to start early in the game with some bull-rushes just to kind of set him up so they short set me, and then work an inside move to come down even more, and then get outside on him. If you watch any of my games, the first parts of the game, I’m usually more power rushes. And as the offensive line adjusts to how I’m doing that, then I will start working the edges a little bit more.”

New England Patriots Rookie, Free-Agent Midseason Progress Report
My Friday B/R column is up, looking at the rookies and free agents. Pats will need a lot of them to really step up in the next two months.
Aaron has grown since the time he got here and his caliber of play and his level of execution, his understanding of our offense, has gone up significantly,“ Brady said. "He has a big role in our offense and we count on him to make the plays when his number is called. He made a bunch of them last week. He has to go do it again.”

Three months removed, it’s clear that Ryan Allen should have replaced the incumbent Zoltan Mesko as the New England Patriots punter. The rookie is 2.7 yards off the league lead in punting average (46.2), and 2.9 yards off the pace in net average (43.4). The Pittsburgh Steelers, meanwhile, released Mesko, earlier this week after a disappointing start to the year.

Interesting read on a position that isn’t often interesting to read about.

Predictions for the steelers-pats game say that it’s gonna be offensively sloppy. I just don’t feel that way. All the weapons (besides vereen) back and games and practices together under their belt. Just seems like well be crisp. Thoughts?
Maybe I shouldn’t say this but I’m not-so-patiently waiting for the “click” game for the Patriots offense, as in the game where suddenly everything just clicks. Sometimes these games only happen once per season (see Titans 2009), but I think the Pats are due and getting healthier every week.
Doesn’t mean it definitely will happen this week, but given the avalanche of criticism on Brady and his history against the Steelers, there’s a pretty good chance.
If it’s not, I think we can expect this will go down to the fourth quarter like they always do this season.
