I can't read the whole article because I am not an ESPN Insider, but here's the teaser. Now how is Rodney going to play the no-respect card?

Want an early favorite for Super Bowl XLII? Look no further than the [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=nwe"][URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=nwe"][URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=nwe"]New England Patriots[/URL][/URL][/URL]. Of course, I am not going out on a limb writing that New England is a good team and a contender. But their improvement since free agency opened Friday matched with two first-round picks will put the Patriots at the head of the class in the NFL once again.
The Patriots were very aggressive in locking up linebacker Adalius Thomas, a perfect guy for Bill Belichick's defense. He is extremely versatile and will contribute everywhere from linebacker to safety to defensive end. Belichick will move this guy all over the field to attack an offense's weaknesses. For the most part, Thomas will play outside linebacker in New England's 3-4 scheme, and he will surely make the job of getting to the quarterback easier for OLB Rosevelt Colvin.
