I acutally think McCourty is a better CB than Darius Butler, and I love Butler's potential. I'm fearful that Butler will lapse into one of those 2nd year corner slumps where he's still trying to put the game together. McCourty plays a really similar style to Bodden, and might even be a better tackler. He gets to the ball quick, and I haven't once seen him try to shoulder check a guy like fuckin Wilhite is STILL doing in his 3rd year.

Whatever the case, drafting a corner in the 1st looks a lot smarter now than it did 5 months ago. From what I've read, Jared Odrick is struggling some to pick up the Dolphins defense, so maybe he wasn't the clear cut best choice afterall.

The McGowan loss is going to hurt us worse. I think Belichick had planned on going with a safety heavy D to make up for the corner depth. I saw Pat Chung manning up on tight ends a lot in preseason which makes me think they're breaking away from the Dean Pees Cover-11 defense that consistently took the safeties out of the equation. I don't hate the Jarad Page acquisition at all. He was a productive safety in KC that got squeezed out by Eric Berry.

Deaderick is a guy I admittedly haven't been paying a ton of attention to. 14 game starter for the Crimson Tide, 23 tackles, 9 TFL. It could be possible that his efforts got eclipsed by fatass Terrence Cody, but Alabama's d-line was pretty sick last season. The fact that he made the 53 man roster over a handful of veterans is an encouraging sign.

Ron Brace looked good at defensive end. A whole lot better than he did in that phony 4-3 DT role they had for him last year. I think that left DE spot might be his by the end of the season.

Derrick Burgess getting cut was actually kind of a relief. He made some plays from the 4-3, and nickel packages last year and should have knocked Adalius Thomas off the depth chart completely. But the guy looked like shit playing OLB in a 3-4. There was a great line in Mike Reiss' blog where Marques Murrell was working on building a table in his garage when someone came in and told him Burgess had been cut. He said he just kept working.

Reiss keeps saying that Jermaine Cunningham is almost ready to return to practice but I feel like he's been saying that for a few now.

And what happened to Julian Edelman?

You want my thoughts on the RB situation... don't count out Maroney. If you consider Maroney third on the depth chart right now, consider who's in front of him... Fragile Fred Taylor and the equally injury prone Sammy Morris. The lack of pre season snaps might have been intended as a wake up call to him. The guy is a good running back something just needs to click in his brain that he has to do things a certain way.

And for fuck's sake. Get Logan Mankins on the goddamn field. What a pussy.
