It's that time of year. The preseason is underway, and we're just under a month away from the start of the regular season. Get jacked 
Our schedule looks pretty manageable. Definitely some monster games though. I find it hilarious when people ***** and moan about the Pats always having an "easy" schedule. We finish in first place almost every year in the division, meaning we play first place teams from other divisions, in addition to our division and some NFC division. It's hardly an "easy" schedule.
Key Additions:
- Brandon Lloyd: excited to see what he and TB12 can do.
- Jonathan Fanene: pass rush help...thank you, god.
- Donte Stallworth: I don't think he makes the cut, but you never know with Bill.
- Jabar Gaffney: great chemistry with Brady. Should find himself open when he's out there.
- Steve Gregory: just don't get burned, and it'll be a huge help.
- Bobby Carpenter: this signing becomes big with Dane Fletcher going down. He should make the team easily now and should see time.
- Visanthe Shiancoe: interesting signing
- Chandler Jones (Rookie): everyone's jacked up from what they saw. i hope he keeps his head down and continues to work...ELEPHANT?
- Donta Hightower (Rookie): again, no complaints with what we've seen so far, but one week into the preseason, we haven't seen much. same thing, keep your head down and work.
- Tavon Wilson (Rookie): interested to see how he contributes. we should see him a lot in nickel packages.
- Other Rookies: Jake Bequette, Alfonso Dennard, Nate Ebner, Jeremy Ebert (don't see him sticking around).
Big Issues:
- Offensive Line: Lot of holes. Solder has struggled (and at LT for chrissake). Mankins, Vollmer, and Waters all need to get in there and do work.
- Corner: No real improvement. Big chance for Ras I Dowling to step up this year, but so far, he's been mediocre in camp. Looked alright in game action though.
- Running Back: We lost BJGE which is huge. He never fumbled and always got positive yards. 100% dependable. Ridley and Vereen will need to take steps this year. Bolden could be a surprise. Interested to see what Woodhead's role is after it diminished quite a bit last year.
Prediction:
13-3
