so true. Defense wins championships.

but the Pats did lose the heart and soul of their D with Teddy B out for the season. He's only one guy, but he really did a lot.

It's a big loss, but don't worry... Rodney will keep the D in line.

Yes, Teddy is a big loss but the D is also based on a system. They still have talent on that team plus there's a BAMF called Rodney Harrison roaming the secondary.

Vrabel and Izzy will have to step up, I'm sure they can. If not Willie has the ability to drop into the middle on the fly.

Belichick makes a common practice of moving guys around to get them used to different roles that they may be called upon to perform.

With guys like Seymore and Warren and J. Green, I'm not to concerned aboult the D-Line or LBs. The secondary looks good now but has almost zero depth, injuries there could hurt us and I really don't want to see Troy CBing again.
