We could have another Junior Seau who came to play or Adalius Thomas who came to throw Kraft's money away.

This is a 50/50 gamble

He has the money now that Snyder paid him, he should be here to play

Big should i know

A lot of what you're saying seems contingent upon Mankins future as a Patriot. He is the toughness and nastiness in the Patriots' offensive line.

The Ochocinco trade only adds to the plan. The Pats didn't need a deep receiver, they needed another ballsy guy to go up the middle into traffic and take attention off of Welker, and to make the sideline catch (an alament to the offense that has been lacking since Gaffney left).

What does a defense do when Welker, Branch, Ochocinco, Hernandez and Gronkowski are on the field?

What does an offense do when it's facing Wilfork and Haynesworth in the middle with Mike Wright mutilating some poor RT off the edge, McCourty and Bodden waiting upfield to pick the pass off.

I'm damn excited.

Belichick is doing it again.

We never regained form once Seymour was traded and Jarvis Green left. Now on paper we're back. So very f--king back.

100% agree. The Seymour trade has been murdering us for two solid years; glad to see that his loss was finally addressed in a meaningful way.

By my count, the Pats have four new starters (upgrades) over last year's 14-2 club (five starters if you include Mankins).

Not going to end there It ends in Indy 2/5/12 with Belichick/Brady lifting another Lombardi in Manning/Polian's house

Our O and D lines are slowly turning into a set of GIANTS. We're beefing up so quickly on the lines that we're clearly entering an era of smashmouth Patriots football.

We're going to run the football down opposition throats this year. Run, run, run. Tons of TE formations, tons of little Gronkowski TDs. Tons of 4-5 yard plays. Exhausting... wearing out... sapping the life out.. of the opposing defenses.

And on defense we'll do the same. Huge line will be a WALL. We'll manhandle those OLs and wear them out.

This is going to be a season where we EXHAUST oppositions. We'll wear them out, run them down, and totally dominate second halfs.

I hope you're all ready for the most physical and most dominating Patriots lines ever!

While I do agree with pretty much everything you said, I don't think we will run the ball all that much this year. We have the best QB in the game and one of the best sets of receivers in football.

Yes, I can see the Pats running a little bit more than last year, but I expect to see a LOT of screen plays to Welker and Woodhead. Those will be our primary "running" plays, just like they were with Welker and Faulk in 2007. Our OL will attack the other team's DL and Tom will give the ball to our two speedsters. That's how we will use "running" the most I think.

Including TWO new DEs, which should help both the rush and pass defense a lot.
