Good heavens, that's terrible. So nonsensically terrible, in fact, that we have to assume a headline writer changed the title of a piece that was CLEARLY intended to be "10 Questions About the 2013 Patriots." Most items make no sense with the current title.
That said...it still sucks. So let's re-do it ourselves. Here's one pass at it:
10 Reasons to Worry About the Patriots
1. Can Amendola stay healthy? The Pats are counting on the already-injured slot man as the reliable veteran anchor for a young receiving corps.
2. Can they limit snaps for the starting DL? The Pats project to be fielding an awesome 4-man line...and bubkes behind it.
3. Will the starting strong safety please stand up? The hunt for Rodney's replacement continues. Still. Eternally.
4. Can Dennard remain a free man? The backfield looks reasonable at full strength, but take out any one of the key trio of McCourty, Talib and Dennard and the picture clouds, fast.
5. Was that the real OL in the preseason? Please-oh-please say it was just a mirage.
6. Is Zoltan really that easy to replace? And did Allen really beat him out, or was this a penny-wise, pound-foolish move?
7. LaGarrette Blount returning kicks? Seriously?
8. Who will cover TEs? Coverage has been the LBs' weak suit, and Collins doesn't look ready yet.
9. Roster churn. Even by BB's standards, we're seeing an extraordinary number of tryouts and moving pieces. What about continuity, especially on special teams?
10. The rookie wall. This team will be relying on an extraordinary number of rookies as starters or key backups. If they hit a collective rookie wall at the end of the season, the collision could be fatal to the team.
