"Are you kidding me, Peter?'' he said. "Are you kidding me? He runs the same as I've seen him. You watch him this year. Watch any team that tries to put its best cornerback on him one-on-one. I can't wait to see that. He will eat you alive. Ain't no way he's lost his legs.''
One final Patriots note: the dumbest thing you could write about New England right now is that owner Bob Kraft, coach Bill Belichick and personnel veep Scott Pioli are loading up for one last Super Bowl run. I don't know how long Belichick is going to coach, but it's not like he signed a bunch of Roger Clemenses. Moss is 30 and may be past the midpoint of his career, but other additions like Stallworth, Welker and Adalius Thomas are basically at their prime. "This program's not falling off anytime soon,'' Harrison said.
Peter just proved how easy he is... Maybe he should ask himself each week before he writes his column whether he has any concrete basis on which to opine about what he thinks he knows other than he just thinks it at the moment and it's time to file the column.
It's obvious he thinks this offense will be tough to stop. But I love the caveat that he still doesn't know how we stop the Colts... Well seeing as we stopped them pretty good for most of the first half when last we met, I'd say adding Thomas, Harrison and Seau to that defense, not to mention how those offensive additions should limit Sanders time in the box and extend his time on the bench is how, Peter.
One part of that article bothered me, the part where it said on some plays the Pats receivers are being put in non-ideal places (Welker sprinting on the outside, Moss in the slot running an in-route, etc).
McDaniels needs to stop being cute and just put players in the best position where they will excel. Only McDaniels can screw up this juggernaut offense this year.
You might as well change that to : "Only Belichick can screw up this juggernaut offense this year" as he hired McDaniels, stuck with him and still has a significant say on the gameplan and playcalling.Only McDaniels can screw up this juggernaut offense this year.
The Pats will have to put up 30 points a game to win?? IMO the D gives up fewer points this year.
I still disagree with him on the Indy thing especially if Samuel is playing. As always, not trying to make excuses - but with Harrison, Wilson, Gay, Colvin, Seau all out last year (Colvin in the 2nd half) and with us adding Meriweather, it's easy to imagine our defense doing a lot better this year unless injuries strike again.The Pats will have to put up 30 points a game to win??

He means against the Colts.

I'm not sure....
>>>>6. I still worry about the defense's ability to get off the field on third down. Particularly against Peyton Manning. They're not alone, of course. But it's dangerous when you know your offense is probably going to have to score in the high 30s to beat anyone, and that's how I see New England's chances against Indy right now.
Does he really think the NE defense is that bad?????????
By anyone he means "insert certain teams name here" and that team he is talking about is the Colts.
zippo59 is correct, he means "anyone" pointed at Indy as he continues the sentence with "and that's how I see New England's chances against Indy right now".I totally disagree with your take on King's quote. Why wouldn't he just say Colts if he meant Colts? Anyone means anyone.
