from Mike Reiss today:

this season, the Patriots have allowed 18 punt return yards. not per game. that is the total for the year

[/ QUOTE ]

well if you never punt you won't allow punt return yards

[/ QUOTE ]

ob yeah, it's just funny to read

(Pats have punted 24 times, fwiw)

the NFL record is 22 yards, by the Packers in 1967

[Kneel B4 Zod]

Pats have activated WR/CB/QB Troy Brown

unclear who they have removed/moved to the practice roster

[bnrocks]

Colvin's gone on IR according to the Herald and the Globe.

Chad Brown is activated too.

Colvin left Sunday night's 31-28 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles and did not return. Although the announcement was that he had a foot injury, it appeared trainers were working on his arm.

"It was announced as a foot? Then we'll leave it with that announcement," coach Bill Belichick said Monday, according to the transcript of the news conference released by the team. "Was that what [we] announced? If that's what [we] announced, then we'll stand by that announcement."

Sucks for us but I found BB's comment hilarious.

Loosing Colvin really sucks. Dude is a beast and I imagine that means Seau will be on the field more often [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]. At least Seymour is finally healthy but still, tough loss. On the other hand the pats have been lucky with injuries on the whole so far.

I think there are a few scenarios which could play out:

1) we play more 4-3, with Jarvin Green getting back into the starting line-up. MLB would be a Bruschi/Seau rotation, AD and Vrabel at the OLB spots

2) we stick with a principle 3-4, with AD moving back outside (taking Colvins spot) and Bruschi and Seau both playing full time

3) a combo of the above depending on gameplan.

I imagine 3) is what we'll see

[NT!]

i would say colvin is around 5th or 6th on the list of guys who we really don't want to see hurt, after brady, moss, samuel, welker and probably seymour.
