I agree with you that its a little harsh to call the CB the weakest position, but someone has got to hold that unfortunate title. I am eager to have both the young corners and the young D-linemen prove themselves this season. Stan, I agree with you that teams will be in for a rough surprise when Brady side-steps the rush and throws a bomb to Moss. However, I have to disagree with you on the Pats D-line vs. an innexperienced Bills O-line. If they do well, it won't show us much. If they do poorly you can also chalk it up to Seymour leaving and the young guys still learning. The Patriots D-line's development will be very intriguing as the season progresses and will be tested in week 2 against the Jets. Box_O_Rocks,

I mean, if teams are expecting him, at this point, to deal with it differently then I think teams must have short memories of the Patriots. Seeing as Brady eats up Blitzes, that would be advantage Pats. Do they think he is Palmer, constantly seeing injury in every play? More interesting will be the d line against the Bills very inexperienced Oline. Will the Bills continue the two minute offense, especially seeing how TO has publicly stated how he dislikes it? Can the Bills Oline hold off a very aggressive and talented Dline of the Patriots? Can the Bills run against the Pats D, which has been very stingy against the run in the pre-season.

Good read. I have questions about CB too, though I'm loathe to call them the weakest unit until we see them in action. I'm also interested to see the NE Linebackers vs the Buffalo Tight Ends, that was an area (Jesters @ NE) where inexperience was an issue last season. And throw in one query about the D-Line as we wait to see whether it's a 40 or 30 front and how the two youngsters fit into the picture. Welcome Dan! Good read.
