both losses are huge, Mayo our leading tackler,play caller etc & we lost our prime RB, Vereen's great but lets face it, he's fucking tiny, he's not gonna power run up the middle and break tackles, and this is why we should have kept blount... big losses tho it could be worse, alot of other teams have it worse, I'm thankful wilfork is healthy on the defensive side atleast and looking good, and of course bradygod has looked great the last two games. Hopefully we get dan connelly and stork back soon to boost our o-line.
i heard talk on the radio that they could call out to the law firm aka green ellis, who already has some familiarity with the patriots
Bolden is pretty interchangeable with Ridley, neither of them are fantastic but they serve the purpose of a power back. Honestly Bolden breaks more tackles than Ridley does, that could end up not being a huge loss at all. Mayo is an entirely different story, just him being around makes everyone better. Luckily we've got a lot of young and old talent on the field. Devin McCourty has been consistent and good this year, Revis has looked like a monster now that they're letting him play man. Collins is still doing fairly well, Arrington could use some work, seems like he's getting beat on thirds far too often. Chandler Jones/Revis have been the most impressive to me so far. We're still stacked defensively. As long as our O Line keeps up what it's done the past two games, we should be fairly solid. The Jets actually got to Manning fairly frequently, I think this will be a huge test for us offensively. I'm not sure what we can do about the Mayo situation, hopefully BB can figure out soemthing.
