The Patriots defense is shaping up into a formidable challenge for opposing offenses. The one weakness I see is stopping the run, especially runs up the middle. The Patriots do not have that one big galoot such as Ted Washington or Vince Wilfork in the middle to clog everything up. The current DL is geared toward the pass rush and I saw them being overpowered in the pre-season. This does not bode well unless they can fix it. The Patriots are well aware of this problem, thus their courting of Marquand McCall.
Teams are probably going to try to loosen up the Patriots' (potentially) potent pass rush by daring them to stop the run first.
