When the Patriots* run

There’s no way to sugar-coat it. The Patriots (http://boston.stats.com/fb/teamstats.asp?teamno=17)* will struggle to move the ball on the ground tonight.

Pittsburgh nose tackle Casey Hampton (6 feet 1 inch, 325 pounds) is powerful and physical and will lock up multiple blockers, allowing the immensely talented quartet of linebackers room to seek and destroy running backs.

The inside men are James Farrior and Lawrence Timmons. Farrior is tough and rangy. He has the strength to take on bigger blockers and the speed to make plays from sideline to sideline. Timmons is a quick and explosive tackler.

The outside guys are James Harrison and LaMarr Woodley. Harrison is athletic and versatile and plays with a lot of emotion. Harrison dissects plays quickly and delivers ferocious hits. Woodley has a nice blend of speed and power and will lower the boom..........
