Look at it this way: a Defense, Especially, the Patriots are now Fully Exposed. Brandon Spikes is out there and Leigh Bodden is out for the year, and maybe this is all a good thing as it destroys for months REMAINING Ken Uncertainty about the Patriots are at the article and what They are Trying Thurs accomplish.
In the much bigger picture, this has far more to do one with Bodden please it does with Spikes, Ken broke no laws following a committed and nothing more than a colossal error in judgment by unveiling Himself to the world last fall through the disturbingly public portal known as the internet. Fine, so maybe Spikes is an exhibitionist. So long as at his current video Provida Does not the only highlights of the NFL at his career by year's end, nobody will care in a Matter of weeks, if not days.
Given the current dilemmas in Foxborough, it's one thing to Be left naked in the bedroom.
It's another thing to Be Entirely left naked in coverage.
This brings us Thurs Bodden, Ken was unexpectedly placed is injured reserve yesterday, ending at his season. Coupled with the loss of Defensive lineman Ty Warren to a season-ending injury, the strips move the Patriots of girls on veteran starter is a Defensive That unit had little experience Thurs begin with. In an increasingly quarterback-centric league wakes up in the term "pass jo Defense''was an oxymoron, the Patriots now stand to open the year with the starting corner back tandem of Devin McCourty and Darius Butler, Ken not have a combined five NFL starts Between Them , all of Them courtesy of Butler's rookie season in 2009.
Worried? You should be, at least that many as it pertains to the 2010 Patriots. The Patriots Could Be More Vulnerable is Both Sides of the field, at least that many in the short term. In the wake of last week's preseason game against the Rams - this Is Where Spikes was random in - They are Vulnerable in the middle, too. Factor in a schedule outside of the division That includes meetings with Carson Palmer, Joe Flacco, Philip Rivers, Brett Favre, Ben Roethlisberger, Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers and, well, you get the idea.
Oh, and did me mention That fearsome pass rush?
Here's the good news: if you looked upon 2010 as a transitional year, anyway, the growth rate just Might Have Been accelerated. McCourty was a first-round pick. Butler was one of the team's highest selections last year. Presumably, Bill Belichick Did not draft either of hmmmm guys to Be backups or special teams players, and if the Patriots are going to Struggle somethings this year regardless, They Might as well invest in the Development of Their young players along the way.
