Title: Globe 10.0: Patriots defense is younger, but is it better?

" Welcome back to go ten point -- Tony mass -- which had been. Patriots obviously now in the wake of the -- more trade have had major. Turnover on defense if you go back to the opener of last season. I've guys that -- this team on opening night a year ago. Now all gone Seymour Vrabel or Bruschi -- Rodney Harrison all replaced by new bodies but are younger but are they better on defense."

" That remains to be seen I think -- this thing they've really tried to emphasize here is getting quicker because that a big guys you named him in Opteron obviously but Harrison has slowed down on Bruschi. May -- stating you too long and now nobody's really said that that. He slipped a lot last season so it's I think there's really an emphasis on getting more speed on the defensive side of the ball but. And the tradeoff there is absolutely lost a ton of experience and it's almost unprecedented."

" Don't you just -- what diplomatic track and it -- gotten younger they've gotten worse and me. At this stage there's still a lot of time left and don't misunderstand -- of that kind of turn over especially in the secondary where communication is so important. It's gonna take a while so I don't think we're gonna see -- know. Whether this patriots team can play the kind of defense they need to play to win a championship until probably. Middle in November at the early."

" Yeah that's going to be a work in progress though one important thing is that they need to get leadership from guys who really haven't thought of as leaders before whether it's. A guy James Sanders is almost the most experience kind of offensive backfield now he's gonna have to do a lot of things that Harrison did and Adam how grateful and how they're gonna -- brave brave and Bruce he's leadership both being gone in the same offseason someone whether it's male Thomas whoever's gonna have to step up there as well. Another I think. Guys -- you look at a particular. On this defense and say these are guys that need to step up now and fill bigger role because instinctively I say -- is Thomas and Brennan -- yeah that's two guys I think there's also been an emphasis on making history Jerod -- defense they they love everything about him you heard Bruschi written about him. This kid is impress everybody with a work ethic and knowledge and and I think there's really an emphasis here to make make in the Senate keeps the Steve's -- to -- more big plays on him we saw last year."

" Okay now if you are worried about that Patriots defense has clearly some of us are here's the good news they really don't face. The high powered offense is on their schedule until well into middle -- impact after the bye week they don't play by the Indianapolis Colts and at that point and that's a good sign. Most of the teams are gonna play early in the air are what deep -- oriented teams running the ball on the -- throwing the ball and high powered that's a good break to the patriots. Early on but again lot of time over on the fence lot of young guys. Don't expect them to play well early. Do you."
