Pick 6: Week 12

1. It took until his fourth season, but CB Antwaun Molden had his first career interception on a deep pass intended for WR DeSean Jackson.

2. A round of applause to WR Tiquan Underwood for his impeccable Chad Ochocinco impersonation. He was on the field for two plays, was thrown to deep on one, dropped a probable touchdown, and then exited stage left.

3. After setting some records this season, QB Tom Brady actually lost one. Green Bay’s Aaron Rogers set the record for consecutive games with a passer rating of over 100 with eleven. Brady previously shared the record with Steve Young.

4. The Julian Edelman as a defender story gets better. He played more on defense, replacing an ineffective Adams, lands a nice hit on a quarterback blitz, finishes with three tackles, including one on the athletic QB Vince Young, forcing a third down at the two yard line. Two plays later, Young overthrew his target and the Eagles came away with nothing.

5. You had to pay close attention as Donald Thomas, a reserve OG, saw his first action as a Patriot. He lined up at fullback on the RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis touchdown run. Thomas is the latest in a line of players that played more than one position this year. Before the season is done, I want to see either Edelman with an interception, Nate Solder catch a touchdown pass, or Thomas get a carry for a touchdown.

6. RB Shane Vereen sure likes to cut back on runs. For the second week in a row, he looked to backside of the run to find yardage. Are the Patriots a man-to-man or zone blocking team? If the latter, that would play Vereen’s change of direction desires. I really want to watch how he runs stretch plays.
