As we look forward to todays first game of the post-season, news on Patriots cornerback Ellis Hobbs is questionable with a groin injury.
If Hobbs is hobbled, then look for Randall Gay to see more action at corner and possibly rookie Brandon Meriweather playing at corner instead safety.
It was also reported earlier that hard hitting safety Rodney Harrison has been limited by a thigh injury and had some issues in practice with the injury being taped. If Harrison is also limited, this will mean more work safeties James Sanders and Eugene Wilson.
Add to the injury list defensive backs and special teamers Willie Andrews and Atwain Spann and there just may be a cause for concern if injuries happen during the game.
I would be really concerned if special teamers Mel Mitchel and Ray Ventrone take to the field in normal defensive situations. Mitchel has limited experience in normal defensive plays and Ventrone has only special teams experience.
The situation could call for wide receiver and fan favorite Troy Brown to make his first appearance in game this year. Also is Bam Childress still on the practice squad? I think he has practiced with the defense before.
Can Kelley Washington play corner or will the Wes Welker legend in New England eclipse Try Brown if Welker plays defense?
OH JEEZ! I wish the game would start already!
IN BILL WE TRUST!
