ST- gostkowski, mesko, Aiken

This is predicated on ATM me thinking Waters isn't back (I have no back up evidence to this, just my hunch). I also think Mankins starts on PUP.

 

[JackBauer]

I think Love probably starts at DT, but who knows.

OFFENSE DEFENSE

Sure hope yer right about Vollmer. Surprised me not to see Connolly. Koppen is really struggling so far.

[jah]

QB - Brady
RB - Ridley
TE - Gronkowski
TE - Hernandez
WR - Welker
WR - Lloyd
LT - Solder
LG - Mankins (Thomas, Wendell)
C - Connolly
RG - Waters (Thomas, Wendell)
RT - Vollmer

Thomas is the first sub if one of the guards is out, Wendell comes in to accompany him if both are out.

LE - Ninkovich
DT - Wilfork
DT - Love
RE - Cunningham (I'm not as high on Scott as others here, and I don't think Jones will start)
LOLB - Hightower
MLB - Spikes
ROLB - Mayo
LCB - McCourty
SS - Chung
FS - Gregory
RCB - Dowling

 

[Big-T]

Titans will likely try and run it early & often with Johnson, so with that in mind:

QB: Brady
RB: Hernandez
WR: Welker, Lloyd, Gaffney
TE: Gronkowski
OL: Solder, Gallery, Connolly, Waters, Vollmer

DL: Fanene, Wilfork, Love, Deaderick
LB: Mayo, Spikes, Hightower
CB: McCourty, Dowling
S: Wilson, Chung

Love the Cunningham pick, I had him as my LE but took him off last minute.. I think in a perfect world it would be

LE Cunningham (College position was LE)
LDT Love
RDT Wilfork
RE Jones
LOLB Hightower
MILB Spikes
ROLB Mayo

Heard they were practicing that front 7 a lot last night, that is a young athletic defense that could be special for years.

DL: Fanene, Wilfork, Love, Deaderick
LB: Mayo, Spikes, Hightower
CB: McCourty, Dowling
S: Wilson, Chung

Good call on the dline, didn't even take the opponent into the equation but I like the big lineup.

 

[Deus Irae]

I'll add a bit of a twist, just to change things up:

QB: Brady
RB: Ridley
WR: Welker, Lloyd
TE: Gronkowski, Hernandez
OL: Solder, Connolly, Koppen, Waters, Vollmer

DL: Wilfork, Love, Deaderick
LB: Ninkovich, Mayo, Spikes, Hightower
CB: McCourty, Dowling
S: Wilson, Chung

 

[Patriot 37]

Why does everyone (almost) think Arrington isn't starting ? He was our best CB last year in is supposely playing well in camp.

He will be nickel back like he has been in camp, that's where he's suited to playing - just look at how he handled Cruz in the Super Bowl.

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

You guys are good. While you're at it I have a few stocks whose prices I need predictions for. PM me.

 

[Patriot 37]

He was in the starting line up the day I was there (and went to the slot in the nickel). I believe that's what been reported as well.

 

[Mix]

QB: Brady
RB: Ridley
WR: Lloyd, Welker
TE: Gronk, Hernandez
OL: Solder, Gallery, Connolly, Waters, Vollmer

DL: Cunningham, Love, Wilfork, Carter(Still hoping he will be back)
LB: Hightower, Spikes, Mayo
CB: McCourty, Dowling
S: Chung, Gregory
