Home field advantage
Sunday's game between the Patriots and the Titans was the text book example of home field advantage. Tennessee was clearly disrupted by the weather and New England was not. Tennessee looked like they were playing with roller skates on. It started early for the Patriots after Sammy Morris went down with a leg injury. Moroney came in and ran well. His usual stuttering and stopping was replaced by moving laterally and keeping his feet moving. Tom Brady torched a hapless Titans secondary. This is hopefully the confidence booster that sends him back to the old Brady. Things changed dramatically when McGowen laid a hit on Chris Johnson sending him out for the play. Len Dale White came in and fumbled the next play setting up the drive with the flea flicker and multiple other scores. Sabastian Vollmer was a beast. Is this the guy who can take the reins at left tackle. It looked like it yesterday. I think if when Light comes back, it's time for Vollmer to take over at right tackle. The defense looked great again. Mike Wright has been playing very well this season. We didn't see Adalias Thomas yesterday. He was listed out with an elbow injury. A.K.A. he's in the dog house. The secondary is shaping up to be a very solid unit. The addition of Seau will add a lot of depth to the linebacking core. The line play has been pretty strong. Things are looking good for the Patriots. Another blow out in London coming up before the bye week.
