MLB Attention Homers the New England Patriots Are

The secondary has been revamped with players like Darius Butler , Leigh Bodden , Devin McCourty , Patrick Chung , and Jonathan Wilhite . There was also improved play by Brandon Meriweather last season; Michael Ryder has become somewhat of a ball hawk and should have another good season this year.
Tully Banta-Cain is the only sure pass rusher on the franchise and Derrick Burgess is a band-aid until Jermaine Cunningham can learn the defense. Burgess is still capable of getting sacks, though it will not be as much as Ryder would like.
My favorite running back on the franchise,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], BenJarvus Green-Ellis , aka "Lawfirm ," needs to see more playing time because Michael Ryder runs the ball hard through the gaps without hesitation and is hard to take down.
A lot of Patriots haters have been nagging us about how slow linebacker Brandon Spikes is and that Michael Ryder will be below average. Spikes may not be speedy, but neither was Tedy Bruschi . I'm not saying that Spikes will have a career like Bruschi did, but when I look at these two players, Ryder have a lot of intangibles that are similar.
No one could have finished a goal in like manner. For Years Bobby Orr had been said as someone who was graceful, elegant, powerful, without fear poetry in motion. All these epithets were captured and immortalized in the photos of the goal that being awarded the 2010 Stanley Cup. Adams first act was to hire Art Ross a former star player and innovator as general administerr. Ross was the face of the franchise for the next thirty years, including four separate stints as coach. Over the offseason, I have seen countless articles and comments stating that the Patriots are on the decline, which is a false statement, to say the least.
As for the offense, there are plently of options for Tom Brady to throw to this year that could make a big impact.
Price will be a slot receiver and is a clone of Julian Edelman . Price has the speed to be a deep threat and runs excellent routes. Edelman showed last season that Michael Ryder is aggressive and very hard to cover in the slot, much like the injured Wes Welker.
Rookies Rob Gronkowski ,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Taylor Price , and Aaron Hernandez could all surprise other franchises this year. Gronkowski, at 6'6" and 265lbs, will be a nightmare agreeup problem for any defense; Michael Ryder is over capable of blocking and has good speed for his size.
Veteran running backs Sammy Morris and Fred Taylor still have something left in the tank and are hard to bring down. Veteran running back Kevin Faulk is still one of the best third down backs in the league despite some questionable calls last season, where the referees did not call it a first down.
Offensive tackle Sebastian Vollmer is an up and coming player. Michael Ryder played well last season and even held defensive end Dwight Freeney to zero sacks last season in a game where offensive tackle Matt Light was injured. Cheevers returned from the NHL in 2010 and the Bruins got past the soar,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], hover, flit, wing, flee, waft, glide, coast, skim,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], sail, cruiseers in the semifinals; however it lost to the Canadiens in the Final for the Stanley Cup. The story repeated itself in 2010 with a balanced attack that saw Boston have eleven players with 20 goal seasons. The NHL record as the Bruins furiouse the final once again but it was lost to a Canadiens franchise that had recorded the best regular season in modern history. Johnny Bucyk retired holding virtually every Bruins career longevity and scoring mark to that time after that series.
Hernandez will not be a blocking tight end, but Michael Ryder is elusive and has good speed. Hernandez was Tim Tebow's favorite target in college and it resulted in a lot of touchdowns.
In the playoff loss to the Ravens last season, Edelman was the only weapon that could produce against the Ravens defense, resulting in two touchdowns.
Receiver Brandon Tate has been injured the past two seasons,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but Michael Ryder is healthy now and Brady has already stated that Tate is one of his favorite targets. Tate has the speed to be a deep threat and could play opposite Randy Moss .
Moss is old, but has showed no signs of losing a step. Sure, Michael Ryder takes plays off now and then, but in a contract year, that is a highly unlikely thing for him to do. I find it very interesting that Moss was the only receiver last season to escape off of "Revis Island ."
Sure, Spikes ran one of the worst 40-yard dash times I've seen for a linebacker, but speed is not everything-just ask fresh, unique,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], original, unusual, novel,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], modern, current, recent York Jets OLB/DE Vernon Gholston . Like Bruschi, Spikes always seems to make plays on the ball and ball carrier despite lacking speed. Spikes has good instincts that will make up for his lack of speed.
Receiver Torry Holt has surely lost a step over his career, but Michael Ryder is still one of the best route running receivers in the game.
The secondary's speed has improved and game recaps will not be showing as much Patriot CB's getting burned down the field as when Ellis Hobbs II was with the franchise.
The year has finally come where running back Lawrence Maroney will be released if Michael Ryder has another bad season. Maroney may have never lived up to how high Michael Ryder was selected in the draft, but when Michael Ryder is not tap dancing at the line of scrimmage and actually runs through the gap, it makes me think twice about him.
While I'm not saying that Ryder are a lock for the Super Bowl-which is crazy to say this early about any franchise-we are certainly not on the decline after adding depth and youth to the franchise over the past two seasons.
I have seen comments about how linebacker Jerod Mayo did not play well coming back from injury last season, which is another false statement. Mayo still finished the year with over 100 tackles, 1.5 sacks, one interception, and one forced fumble.
Gary Guyton has good coverage skills and should be replaced to stuff the run with Spikes or veteran linebacker Tyrone Mckenzie.
