There was a good post here recently asking basically what we should expect from the Patriots defense.
What about the offense? I am as excited for a season as I have been ever. Really.
Remember that offense two years ago, and the records they set? Well, that offense had Moss and Welker in their "rookie" season in the offense so to speak. This will be their third year in that offense.
Tom Brady has more weapons than he did then, IMHO. They have Moss and Welker. They also have a better TE than any on that team in Baker. He will thrive in this offense, as we got a glimpse of in the preseason.
With Law Firm, Maroney, Fred Taylor, Morris, and Faulk their RB crew is DEEP!
Their OLIne should be better for two reasons. Kaczur totally committed himself to the team, and his workout warrior approach in the offseason, I think is huge. I expect drastic improvement from him, and that will help the whole line. Secondly, I, like many am expecting a stud in Vollmer.
While we can never be sure how a rookie will perform, we may be getting a Welker "light" in Edelman, and to think of what this could add to the offense is intriquing.
I may be alone on an island making this next big deal, but in the back of my mind, I'm even expecting a goal line addition by 6'2", 215 LB Sam Aiken, this year. He looked 6'5" in that last preseason game. We'll see what pans out there, but it's a stray thought.
Will this be a better offense than the one in 2007? Barring injury, I think it will be. Some will say that "defense wins games", and that may be true. But, think about this, if I'm right about this offense, an offense that is always on the field, means the defense won't be.
If you are the fan of an opposing team and are reading this, even you must wish you had the best QB in the NFL, with an improved offensive line, and weapons like Moss, Baker, Welker, Edelman, Galloway, Aiken, Faulk, Watson, Maroney, Taylor, Morris, Law Firm, etc. etc.
Am I overly excited, or do others feel the same way?
