If Spears heads to IR, would Robinson be an ideal short-term replacement? Or maybe even long-term? Spears hasn't exactly been a beacon of health in his time here.

 

Brian Robinson?

Ringer ranks defenses:

Patriots #12

This was a bad group last year (30th in DVOA), and while it felt like the Patriots defense got crushed by injuries, FTN had them with just about league-average injury luck. One area in which New England could get luckier in 2025 is with turnovers. Last year, the Patriots defense finished 31st in EPA gained on takeaways. That’s the type of thing that generally regresses to the mean from one year to the next.

From a personnel perspective, there are a couple of areas that could be real strengths here. The duo of Milton Williams and Christian Barmore at defensive tackle could be highly disruptive. And if healthy, Christian Gonzalez and Carlton Davis III offer a pair of top-level corners. From a coaching perspective, Mike Vrabel’s reputation as a defensive mastermind probably outpaces his actual track record. In six seasons with the Titans, Vrabel produced an above-average defense just once. I expect a jump. But the Patriots probably need one more offseason of talent upgrades to go up another tier.

Make it make sense.  The defense ranked 30th by a stat the author obviously respects (or else he wouldn't reference it).  The NEW coach hasn't proven to produce a defense in the top-15.  But sure, let's rank them in the top 12!!

 

Agenda and narrative.

Same author said of the Titans defense:

I don’t think that the Titans defense will be that good. But I also don’t think that they’ll be that bad. Everything here just kind of screams mediocrity.

...and ranked them 25 out of 32.  I guess the wordsmith is dealing with unusual definitions of "bad" and "mediocre."
