If there really is a Football God up there please let Brandon Spikes have made a miraculous recovery and let him be at practice today. I know it’s probably not going to happen but with the Jets back to their ground and pound way the Pats are going to be in real trouble if they have to rely on Gary Guyton at MLB again. This is the most distressing injury problem of the week for sure. Maybe we can get Dane Fletcher back as a consolation?

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.

PFF: Pats – Cowboys Re-Focused

Good stuff as always from Steve Palazzolo. Lots of Brandon Spikes love in this one:

Of the linebackers, Brandon Spikes (+5.1) set a career high by playing 67 snaps, making his presence felt all over the field.  He knifed into the backfield to blow up a shovel pass on 3rd-and-5, forcing a Cowboys field goal in the fourth quarter.  As usual, Spikes was at his best when blitzing right up the middle, where he picked up two pressures and one QB hit on only 11 rushes.  It was hard not to notice him as on two different occasions, he blasted Costa right into Romo’s lap.

For the Patriots right now, Brandon Spikes is doing exactly what they want him to do on first and second down. He’s being aggressive in the running game, he takes on blocks and he does a great job when they send him on blitzes. I thought he was very physical with Phil Costa, the Cowboys’ center, and was able to get push in the pocket and penetration in the running game. He still needs to get better in coverage, but going straight ahead, he’s dangerous.
