Bill Belichick showing some early faith in hs younger linebackers, subbing in Pierre Woods on this series for Mike Vrabel. It’s hot out there, this is a good move, as long as Woods can play. Richard Seymour is bulling his man into the backfield like the old days. Seymour looks strong and active. He’s not [...]

What the heck is Herm Edwards doing, rushing four guys and allowing Randy Moss and eternity to get open? Matt Cassel isn’t complaining as he hooks up with Moss on a the first TDof 2008. By the way, New England lost six fumbles in 2007. They lost two already, in less than a quarter.

A Wes Welker fumble puts the Pats defense in a tough spot, KC ball at the 48. You know Larry Johnson will get his shot here, time to see how this defense responds. Bowe and Darling will test the Pats corners too. Interesting sidelight during the t/o as Mike Vrabel tries to sneak any info [...]
No. 12 is in the lineup, New England breathes a sigh of relief. Russ Hochstein does not start, it’s Billy Yates at right guard. Pats are in the hurry-up spread.
Hector Longo and Bill Burt will be here live at Gillette Stadium, blogging throughout today’s opener with the Kansas City Chiefs. Few surprises on the Pats inactive list, headed by Ben Watson, with C.J. Jones, Dan Connolly, Wes Britt, Sam Aiken, Shawn Crable, and Le Kevin Smith. Crable is a bit of a surprise, it [...]
