Bellichick only changed his OL to all-white less than three seasons ago. Gee, I wonder if that "risky" caste move paid off? His defensive rosters have only featured a handfull of white players under his tenure.
Some guys I can recall under Bellichick are LB Ted Johnson, LB Bruschi, LB Vrabel, DT Mike Wright, S Shawn Mayer, and LB Monty Beisel. Pretty horrible. I'm sure there were some other DT's and DE's that never got playing time.
Richard Seymour has been average for 5 seasons, but is still the toast of the NE media. Jarvis Green has been your typical black 1st round defensive bust, and the very average Ty Warren is also nothing special.
All the while, Bellichick passes over guys like Connor Barwin and Clay Matthews in the draft in favor of a stick figure safety like Pat Chung....although their other high selection, DT Ron Brace out of Boston College, is actually a decent player.
Other than Welker at WR, Bellichick has screwed several other white WR's in favor of boring black scrubs....guys like Tim Dwight, Kevin Kasper, and Chas Gessner all "played" for short periods with the Pats. Actually, I think Gessner was cut more times than Jerehme Urban.
Their TE position has been coal black starters for a decade (Jermaine Wiggins, Daniel Graham, and Ben Watson)....with white backups like Christian Furia, Kyle Brady, and David Thomas.
Personally, I hope the superbowl this season is Packers VS. Colts / Texans...the Patriots completely lost me after "demoting" Bruschi and letting Vrabel walk for peanuts....in favor of ultra-scrubs like Gary Guyton and permanantly injured Shawn Crable.
