“The Patriots are still the kings of the East. They still have Tom Brady and Bill Belichick, the two most important guys in the organization. The formula has been that their [defensive] front four is very strong. The [Richard] Seymour’s and the [Ty] Warren’s and Mike Vrable’s. They at least had big-time guys on the front line. Now, they bring in Jonathan Fanene, and he’s a good player. But he’s not a dominant player. He’s serviceable and so is [cornerback] Will Allen. They didn’t put any money last year into their secondary. If you look at the Patriots model, they take all their money and put it in the offensive line to protect Brady. The thing about the Patriots is that their offense is their strength. But if they got that defense going, they’d be unstoppable.”
