NFL Preview: New England Patriots
New England Patriots
Key Additions:
T Nate Solder (draft)
CB Ras-I Dowling (draft)
RB Shane Vereen (draft)
WR Chad Ochocinco (trade)
DT Albert Haynesworth (trade)
LB/DE Andre Carter (FA)
DE Shaun Ellis (FA)
Key Departures:
DE Ty Warren
DE Marcus Stroud
Report:
MVP Tom Brady is back and ready for revenge and a Super Bowl season. After a 14-2 season they got ousted by Jets at home. Brady is still the league's best quarterback and is looking for another great season. At running back Danny Woodhead and BenJarvus Green-Ellis are both starters and do different things. Woodhead is a fantastic receiver out of the backfield and Green-Ellis better as a rusher. Receiver got much better when New England traded for Chad Ochocinco. He will have to fight for a starting spot with Deion Branch and Wes Welker. At TE Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez are no longer rookies. The offensive line is all back and all ready to protect their MVP.
Defense is the Patriots' achilles heel. The main focus of the offseason was adding pressure which was nonexistent last season. DT Vince Wilfork is a beast up the middle and around him is Albert Haynesworth, Mike Wright, and Shaun Ellis. The leader of the linebackers is Jerod Mayo. Mayo had 175 tackles leading the team. Around him is Rob Ninkovich, Jermaine Cunningham, and Brandon Spikes. The secondary is also an issure. CB's Devin McCourty and Leigh Bodden are consistent corners, but the players behind them are unproven. At safety Brandon Meriweather is a hard hitter and can jack anybody up. Patrick Chung and James Sanders are battling for the most playing time at safety.
K Stephen Gostowski in one the best kickers in the league, but he got injured last season and is back. P Zoltan Mesko is a classic Patriot pick-up in the late rounds. KR's Julian Edelman and Brandon Tate are consistent returners.
Review:
The Patriots look like a Super Bowl team. They had the best record last season, and added players at positions they needed. Bill Belichick is known for taking talented troubled players making them into key contributors. If the defense can create pressure they will be the total package and obvious Super Bowl pick.
