I'm already tired of hearing about Crable and Wood....they can't su*k enough...and someone has to step up and PLAY the outside linebacker spot....I'm willing to give Burgess a pass because 10 days isn't enough to learn the defense....but I can already see that whatever side of the defense Thomas isn't on will be the one teams will run on....God help us when we play teams that can run! -

Banta-Cain was a nice suprise, but on the whole the OLBs have been ridicuously bad at rushing the passer. -

I thought Tully had some nice moments against the Bungles -- he's a known commodity who was unable to step his game up -- Ya know I keeps a private jet -- when Saffron Chisco threw the money at him, but he will understand the role Belichick maps out for him here and that is a bonus for Pats fans. I think fans who are looking for some kind of Sean Merriman-type who is going to terrorize opposing quarterbacks on a regular basis may be out to lunch at the laundromat. There was pressure against Cincy at times, but the Pats' strength in this regard will be in having the ability to bring different looks and send pressure from unexpected sources (I am picturing some nasty safety blitzes), rather than from having a guy who is going to win a lot of one-on-one battles or speed rushing contests.
A Belichick defense is like an ensemble cast.
There is no definitive star (or there are several -- however you like to look at it), but the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. -

I accede to your superior wisdom.
I have no rebuttal for the "whatever" defense. -

I am sick and tired about hearing about Crable's potential. He has barely touched the field in training camp or pre-season. Time to cut him loose, too risky to hold a roster spot on the fragile piece of glass. -

The thing about Crable is that he had a tough childhood. Bouncing around in foster homes.He could have some psychological issues. -

Hypothetical, if Mayo broke is little toe in camp last year and was IR'd, then sprained an ankle in his 2nd year camp, would it be wise to waive him? I mean, maybe you're right enough is enough! How much of this nonsense can we be expected to take? Football isn't that physical, why the injuries? It's been a whole YEAR that Crables been here, I think thats more than enough time to give a 3rd round pick to become a starter. -

Crable started TC on PUP. He came off and practiced and played. He cannot return to PUP. -

They played 4-3 in the first preseason game, so their wasn't much pass rushing for the outside linebackers. The starters and primary backups played 1 quarter in the second preseason game.So, essentially, you are basing your claim about a "ridiculously bad" pass rush on one quarter of one meaningless preseason game.Woods is very good against the run, and Thomas, Banta-Cain and Burgess will get to the passer when the games count.
