As NePatriotsDraft says, last night was truly a night for the youngsters. Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowsk each caught a touchdown pass, Mesko punted a great game, and the running backs had a great day.
What I liked:
- Welker seems not to lost a step
- Our rookie tight ends are stepping up
- Fred Taylor stills has gas in the tank
Highlights:
- Fred Taylor ran for a 28 yard touchdown
- Aaron Hernandez scores a 4 yard touchdown
- Sammy Morris runs it in for a 20 yard touchdown
- Rob Gronkowski scored a 24 yard touchdown
- Jonathan Wilhite picked off John Parker Wilson
Stats:
Passing:
- Tom Brady - 10/12 85 yards, 1 touchdown
- Brian Hoyer - 8/15 94 yards, 1 touchdown
- Zac Robinson - 2/2 17 yards
Running:
- Fred Taylor - 11 carries for 54 yards, 1 touchdown
- Sammy Morris - 6 carries for 52 yards, 1 touchdown
- BenJarvis GreenElis - 7 carries for 12 yards
Receiving:
- Aaron Henandez - 4 catches for 46 yards, 1 touchdown
- Rob Gronkowski - 4 catches for 38 yards, 1 touchdown
- Brandon Tate - 2 catches for 25 yards
- Randy Moss - 2 catches for 24 yards
- Wes Welker - 2 catches for 20 yards
Lasting Questions:
- Will Dan Connolly be as effective against a starting defense?
