Patrick Crayton Is Not Impressed With New England's Defense

New England Patriots defense, Patrick Crayton is not impressed with you. Following the Pats' 48-27 victory in Dallas last Sunday, Crayton, when asked if he woke up Monday morning thinking about how good New England was, offered this:

"No, why would I say something like that?" Crayton said. "Offensively, they are the real deal. I'm not going to lie about that. Definitely, I can tell you, no, [the defense is] not. The only time they stopped us is when we had penalties. If that's stopping us, it is what it is. But they're definitely not the real deal."

When New England cornerback Ellis Hobbs was asked about Crayton's comments, he busted out a "next question". And then answered before the next question could be asked:

"Same story, man. We've heard it before. Whatever. That's why we have 60 minutes. You have 60 minutes to prove what you got out there, and bottom line, we won the game. We're worried about Week 7. It's over with. All the hype and all the hoopla, but like I said, at the end of the day you have to play the game between the white lines. The results are in, let's move on."

Wow, that has to be a new record for the most clichés in one answer. That said, he's right. It it is what it is, blah blah blah. Or as linebacker Rosevelt Colvin pithily put it: "That game is last week. We don't play the Cowboys again. Move on." Clearly, Colvin doesn't think Dallas will make it to the Super Bowl. Or maybe he just meant the regular season. One or the other.
