Derrick Brooks doesn't get the assists that Ray Lewis gets, but look at the solo numbers. Every year, they're towards the top. He has no help.

Every offense knows how the Pats D can be beat. They do the same thing every week. The players just execute so well that it's effective. Vick is the same way.

Everyone can be beat. Running at Derrick Brooks is a no-no and the sorry linebackers and secondaries of the league have problems with Vick putting the D-coordinator in a bind when deciding how hard to rush the passer. If you rush Vick hard, he's already passed the linemen. If not, you give hime time to throw. Everyone's opted to keep rushing him very hard.
