Site Launch

This blog, over the course of the remainder of the term(and NFL season), will record, analyze, and give theoretical predictions on the impact four rookie defensive backs will have on their respective teams. The central character and basis for all points will be New England Patriots' rookie first round draft pick, Brandon Meriweather out of the University of Miami. Three additional rookie defensive backs will be researched and chosen for comparison in the next few days. Eligibilty for nomination and appointment include:

  • Minimum of 5 games played
  • Minimum of 10 plays per game
  • Drafted in Rounds 1-2

I will compare and contrast these young talents in these statistical categories:

  • Tackles
  • Interceptions
  • Passes Defensed
  • Forced Fumbles
  • Number of times thrown to - This is an extremely telling statistics from teh point of view of the opponent, yet is not easily found

Observational points and opinions will be made with respect to value of each within own organization and unit as well as how each stacks up versus one another, again, with Brandon as the focal point. While each of their statistics will be followed and updated, stories, photos, team stats, and more will employ the former Hurricane and his team as protagonists.
