1. I keep hearing the Pats need help on the offensive line...why? Because Mankins isn't working out? Frankly, with the addition of the Giant German, and Neal locked in for a couple more years, and confident Mankins will play this year, I feel pretty comfortable about NOT calling this an area of concern in 2010.
2. Lets face it. UNLESS he was injured, which is very possible (we all heard about the back issues), the odds of Moss improving over his performance of last year are slim. Rarely do you see someone take 4 steps forward after taking a couple backwards, especially on the same team...sometimes they are re-energized moving to a new squad, but this isn't the case. You might counter with a contract year argument...but is he really going to get a blockbuster deal at 34? More likely, Moss will take another step back due to age. Welker may never be the same, and we won't have him to start the year. So, reality check: A fading Moss, a converted QB, a injury laden rookie, and a NFL career special teamer round out the WR corps...Brady deserves better.
3. Don't hate...I was hoping for an upgrade over an aging Faulk...Leon Washington or Brian Westbrook come to mind.
4. If Maroney is the man, I would love to see the Pats pick up a 240+lb between the tackles running back to compliment him. I am tired of the patchwork, band aid setup we have back there. Commit or move on.
5. Do we have a play maker on offense other than, possibly Moss?
6. I think we will be fine on Defense.
