2) Likewise, Randy Moss has never played with a Qb as good as Brady and never played on an offense as loaded as the Pat's.
3) Adding TE as Kyle Brady as a second TE gives the offense great flexibility and a good change of pace to be able to play two good TE's at same time.
4) Nobody talks about Laurence Maroney, but he may be the biggest beneficiary and have a break out year.
5) The defense is talented and deep. The last reamining weakness they had on defense was depth at safety. They addressed it in a big way with drafting U of Miami FS Brandon Meriweather. He was one the best safeties in college football in 2006. Versatile safety who stood out at safety and cornerback at Miami.
Anything can happen. It should be interesting to watch.
REDSKINS will still be my team. But I will also watch the Pats in 2007.

Their back 7 is still pretty problematic. Rodney Harrison was a great player, but who knows what they are getting now? If Merriweather has to contribute as a rookie, things could get brutal. Samuel is good, but probably a bit overrated. Ellis Hobbs?
Their LBs are old too. Colvin is getting up there. Bruschi and Vrabel are getting up there. Adailus Thomas was a 30 year old last year, and they invested a lot in him.
The Pats are certainly a solid SB pick, but like every team, they have their holes.
