Friday Thoughts on Denver

It will be a reunion of former Pats players when the team visits Denver on Sunday. The Bronco's roster shows seven former Pats: TE Daniel Graham, OL Brandon Gorin, WR Jabbar Gafney, RB Lamont Jordan, OL Russ Hochstein, LS Lonnie Paxton and DL LeKevin Smith. Denver continues a trend among other NFL teams who sign former players of the Pats.

Denver has the tightest red zone defense in the league. Teams have only been there seven times with 2 TD's and 1 FG to show for it. Denver is allowing less than seven points per game.

The easiest way to make Coach Belichick smile is to mention Junior Seau. Twice this week, he departed from his usual stoic tone to joke about the lastest antics of the former LB. When asked about whether they would sign the reality tv show star, Belichick mentioned that Seau was "bull stomping or being stomped by bulls". He mentioned that they would need to review the video of Seau at the rodeo before making a final decision. The coach knows how to crack the room up!
