How do you figure that? We had a great D last year and that was w/o our best defensive player down the stretch, John Abraham. Abe will be back w/ Ellis forming maybe the best pair of DEs in the league. Robertson will have another yea and he is developing into a big time DT, Vilma & Coleman were very productive rookies, the only weakness is at the #2 corner but w/ our pass rush that can be minimized. We also have a great DC in Donnie Henderson. We very well could have the best D in the division, if not it will b close.
How is Edwards such a horrible game day coach? and how can you put Saban ahead of him when Saban has never done it in the NFL and Herm has been to the playoffs 3 of the last 4 years taking over a team that had missed the 2 previous postseasons and 12 of the previous 14? Let's also remember that the last HC to lead his team to victory at NE was Herm in Dec of '02 in a huge Sun Night game which was key towards winning the AFC East.
