Default Bruschi and Reiss preview the Pats 2010 season

Previewing the 2010 Season by Tedy Bruschi and Mike Reiss for espn:

Quote:
Tedy: In my opinion, this preseason couldn't have gone any worse for the New England Patriots. It started off on the wrong foot with Logan Mankins not reporting to camp and he is still AWOL. The Nick Kaczur experiment at left guard failed miserably with a severe back injury. You lose cornerback Leigh Bodden as he's put on injured reserve. Defensive end Ty Warren is put on IR. That's three legitimate starters and then you make it four with Mankins. One of the main goals in the preseason is to stay healthy and keep your team intact going into the season opener. The Patriots don't have that now.

There's also a short video with previews and predictions from NFL Live's Schefter, Hasselbeck and Wingo.

Tedy sounds reasonable and fair in his assessments. At least he didn't just say, "hey, it's the preseason and they're playing vanilla defense."

Thanks for saying that. Homerism is rampant here. The Pats have issues, people.
The good news is that every team in the AFC East has issues. Miami looked like crap in the pre-season. The Pats defense looked like crap in the pre-season (certainly the last two games) and the Jets offense looked like crap this pre-season.

If I had to give the edge to anyone, I'd say the Jets and their defense- but their QB would scare me if I were a Jets fan.

Can't disagree with Tedy's concerns here. Only quibble I have (and it's semantics really), is his use of the term "failed miserably" when describing the Kazcur to LG experiment. It makes it sound like the reason Kazcur is injured is because they tried to change his position, instead of just being another unfortunate circumstance.

Other than that, he didn't say anything other than the Pats were hit with injuries this preseason. Hard to argue.

I noticed the same thing.

Kazcur hurt his left tackle back muscles....now it should be clear

I don't think there are many, if any, who haven't noted that (salient) point, while still acknowledging the question marks surrounding the Patriots defense.

Bruschi's no-BS, cut to the point mentality is exactly what we could use on this team

I always appreciate Tedy's analysis. The guy is just as smart off the field as he was on it.
