Corey Dillon

I heard that yesterday all the Patriot's news in the local papers was centered on Corey Dillon and his slow start to the season (99 yards on 37 carries). I imagine at least one writer made a "when did we trade for Antoine Smith" joke.

I think people should back off the criticism of Dillon until at least the 6th game of the season. It should be remembered that two years ago Curtis Martin got off to a slow start (133 yards on 40 carries after 3 games) and many writers were writing about how Martin lost a step and that the Jets should go in another direction. How silly do those writers look today?
