Patriots Football - "We're on a mission"

VTDragon · 08-26-2009, 07:04 AM

Friday's third preseason game vs the Redskins should be interesting for a lot of reasons:

The offense needs to get out of the funk they wee in in game two.

T Brady got what he wished for in game two and was hit hard. Now that that nonsense is behind him I'd like to see a solid half of consistent football from the franchise. I'm not looking for spectactular, just solid, accurate passes to the right receivers (open ones) and a good command of the offense.

L Maroney needs to step up here. The shoulder is healed and he's not the only back in town. I'd love to see him stop his backfield dancing.

B Watson is in a similar situation to Maroney, time to step it up.

I want to see more of the QB turened receiver Julien Edelman, this kid could be another Welker down the road, (and he can throw).

I wonder how Wilfork will play? It is time for the team to resolve his contract situation.

Lots more, but I gotta get backto work. Tune in Friday night, the game's on NBC nationwide.

Re: the Redskins game:

The offense looked much better; T Brady (hope his shoulder is OK) and Moss looked to be in mid-season form. Maroney still shows more potential than results, but is looking somewhat better. I don't know if Ben Watson will make the team. The O'Connell experiment at QB is over. The receiving corp looks solid and running back by committee may actually work.

I'm still concerned about the defense. Our secondary looks suspect to me and I'd like to see some more pass rush from the linebackers. T Brusci is announcing his retirement today, sorry to see him go, but time stops for no man and he has had a great run. On a positive note the defensive line looks good, Seymore and Wilfork are as solid as ever. I suspect the Pats will be active on the defensive side in picking up people as teams whittle down to their final 53.
