One of my all-time favorite Patroits, a quality player for many, many years. There was a thread the other day about players who belong in the "Hall Of The Very Good"; Bruschi's no HOF'er, but he's a first-ballot member of the "HOTVG".
With that said, he just wasn't the same player anymore. As was mentioned by Felger or someone last night though, if anything happens to Jerod Mayo this year, we're hosed. I love the youth in the secondary, they've done a great job at infusing a lot of young talent there, but I'm not as comfortable with the younger players (not named Mayo) that are now in the LB corps.
