Picking a second DT was rough. Duron Harmon probably deserves to be on the team more than Lawrence Guy, but there's really nowhere to put him.It's a problem because not many guys played for a long time during this decade. Welker just through 2012, for example. Wilfork through 2014. Amendola from 2013-2017. Mayo through 2015. Butler from 2014-2017. Revis just one year. Chandler Jones from 2012-2015. Trey Flowers from 2015-2018. It's just not easy.
Asked and answered alreadyIt’s a major faux paus that they omitted a ST spot.
Is this list determined by the Patriots? If so, how the hell did nobody ask Bill what he thought? There’s no way they omit ST if he had a say.
There is a separate ST. K, P, returner, and special teamer aka SlaterIt’s a major faux paus that they omitted a ST spot.

I looked at him, but Butler actually started more games for the Patriots than Ryan did. That's because Butler was a full-season starter for 3 seasons, while Ryan only was for his last two. Butler wasn't that great his last season, but he still played a bunch of snaps, until.....well, you know.Honestly I think Logan Ryan should be the 2nd CB over Butler. He played 4 years out of the 10, was really good. Butler was great for 2 years, and good for a 3rd.
Define starter though, the Pats play with extra DBs so often.I looked at him, but Butler actually started more games for the Patriots than Ryan did.

Combine that with the Super Bowl pick, arguably the greatest play in NFL history, and I have a hard time putting Ryan on the team over Butler.
My brain is completely fucked, as we already knew. Totally missed the post addressing it; my fault!
It's mainly because Ryan regressed badly in his second season, and was in and out of the lineup throughout the year. I remember him being so frustrating to watch, because he had shown a lot of promise as a rookie. Finally found his sea legs in his third season.Define starter though, the Pats play with extra DBs so often.
Ryan played 64 games, 40 starts, 2982 snaps
Butler played 59 games, 48 starts, 3309 snaps
I am actually surprised that Butler played more snaps than Ryan to be honest. So I guess the Butler selection is justified. He was awesome in 2015 and 2016.
Yeah you are right - Arrington played a lot in that 2014 season.It's mainly because Ryan regressed badly in his second season, and was in and out of the lineup throughout the year.

Butler barely played as a rookie, but almost immediately went from Super Bowl hero to mainstay at CB, and then stayed there. Until he didn't.
How many of those Blount touchdowns were from the 1 yard line?Not enough love is being given towards Blount. He led all Patriots RB's in rushing attempts, rushing yards, and blew away the field with 42 rushing TDs. James White is a true flex player because of his pass catching abilities. Combined rushing and receiving, White does have over 1,000 more yards from scrimmage but in 33 more games and still has less TDs than LG. Both players deserve to be on the All-Decade Team. I love Amendola too.
Blount: 788 att, 3387 yds, 42 TDs/20 rec, 145 yds, 1 TD(57 games)
White: 310 att, 1265 yds, 13 TDs/379 rec, 3315 yds, 27 TDs(90 games)
I wish there was one more ... last seasonHow many of those Blount touchdowns were from the 1 yard line?
