Freeney

Keep an eye out for Dwight Freeney tomorrow...watch how quickly he moves off the line. See if he can beat the Pats' O-linemen to get to Brady. The Niners might be tempted to offer him a boatload of money this offseason. He'd likely be their best edge rusher since Charles Haley. Freeney's had a down year this season, which could convince the Colts that he's on the decline (which, perhaps, he is...).

However, check out the man's stats:

2002	Indianapolis Colts	16	41	40.0	1	13	0	0	0.0	0	0	1
2003	Indianapolis Colts	15	31	27.0	4	11	0	0	0.0	0	0	1
2004	Indianapolis Colts	16	34	31.0	3	16	0	0	0.0	0	0	3
2005	Indianapolis Colts	16	34	29.0	5	11	0	0	0.0	0	0	3
2006	Indianapolis Colts	16	29	26.0	3	5.5	0	0	0.0	0	0	3

Given that Freeney was born in 1980, it's hard to believe that the 5.5 sacks will be a trend. He has blazing speed but has struggled against the run throughout his career (see: Colts terrible run defense).

Freeney's stats are also a bit misleading, as the Colts typically score a ton of points. As a result, teams that get behind often throw the ball, which give Freeney more sack attempts (and thus more sacks).

But if you've ever seen him play, there's no doubting his speed. If he can rattle Brady, the Niners might be convinced to make a run at him...
