No, the TV Azteca girl has nothing to do with me posting that picture!!!!

It's actually Benjamin Watson that's the subject here. And Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma is our speaker.

From Vilma's PlayMaker Mobile page, a full assessment of the Patriots (with high praise for Big Ben) ...


A guy like Brady gets the ball out quick. Take a guy like Brees, he never really checks down. Maybe once and then he knows exactly what to do, where to throw the ball and he does it with great accuracy. A guy like Peyton will check down all the time, and it's there that he excels. He knows how to manage a game no matter what. Now Brady, Brady is great because he gets the ball out quickly, and he has great weapons at his disposal. He doesn't waste time and he doesn't hold the ball too long. You know, the top three QBs in the league are all great for different reasons, they all have different styles.

Brady gets the ball out quickly, knows in three seconds he can throw it and Moss will jump up and win the jump ball. In two seconds he can dump it off to Wes Welker. He's got weapons. And nobody talks about their tight ends but they have two great tight ends. Ben Watson and Chris Baker. You can't sleep on New England's tight ends. Ben Watson is one of the most underrated guys in the league, but of course he doesn't get the spotlight playing behind Moss and Welker. Those guys of course are huge names, and we'll have to play fast and well on defense to keep 'em in check. We are ready for the New England Patriots and we know we're going to have to EARN the right to go 11-0.
