In some of your posts, you've talked about the Pats: here's an article that talks about their inability to cover the deep ball, which should make Moulds, Chambers, Conway, McKnight, Moss, and Reeds very happy when playing the pats:
Rodney Harrison to New England — For the Patriots to secure Harrison and LB Rosevelt Colvin this offseason was a major coup of sorts, based on recent history. The Patriots aren't known for going after the big names, so imagine the excitement this creates in New England. That excitement is warranted where Colvin is concerned, but not Harrison. Harrison is a fine, fine pickup, but it leaves a potentially gaping hole in the deep part of the field on defense. Now the Patriots have two similar safeties in Harrison and Lawyer Milloy — two safeties known for supporting the run and hitting hard, not covering receivers. If the Patriots' corners don't step up along with Ty Law, you could see big play after big play eat up a defense that is expected to be quite strong.
This article supports my telling you guys you're a passing team until proven otherwise: People just see you that way:
Peerless Price to Atlanta — Here's a team many folks believe is on the cusp. And I agree with them. In fact, Atlanta has been my summer-long pick to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. But Price won't be the key reason, as everyone seems to think. In fact, I'm looking for his production, in terms of statistics, to drop off. It's inevitable. The Falcons are not the pass-happy team that Buffalo was (and hopes to be again this year). Their offense is propelled by Mike Vick and the running game, and it will continue to be that way. The defense and a ground-based offense will get the Falcons to the Super Bowl. Price will help Vick mature as a passer, but I wouldn't expect more than 85 catches and 1,100 yards for the Bills' former No. 2 wideout.
