I would think Brady and the 1st unit will play close to a whole half tonight. I'd like to see Fred Taylor run the ball for a bit to get him some game reps since he was hurt a lot last year. I'd also like to see some more Marcus Murrell and Damione Lewis to keep up their solid work from last week.

The secondary will get another tough test tonight from Tony Gonzalez and Roddy White. These are two good opponents(NO and ATL) to see how much progress the secondary has made since last year.

Fired up to not have to watch this online tonight

Fired up to not have to watch this online tonight

I agree 100%. An Exhibition game (football in general) is the perfect vehicle for DVR viewing. It's great to be able to shuttle back and forth to watch plays multiple times to watch the line play, wideouts getting off jams, all those things that the average viewer doesn't see when he/she is watching the ball.

I've had an insane week at work so it will be nice to empty my head of all office stress for 3 hours.

My things to watch for are all mostly repeats of last week, with the added importance of the D-Line play.

Wow, Welker is playing.

[axx]

Wow, Welker is playing.

Hopefully he won't get hurt

[SoxScout]

I wouldn't have risked him playing in the preseason, that's for sure.

[John Dopson]

I don't like the way Jermaine Cunningham's preseason is going. Out again tonight. I don't expect him to be the answer at OLB but it would be nice if he could get healthy and at least make the gameday roster. Let's hope this isn't Crable 2.0.

This is not news. He didn't make the trip.

[smokin joe wood]

Pam Oliver has gained 10 lbs over each offseason for the last decade.

[RedOctober3829]

Good plug by Chung.

[Mystic Merlin]

Turner is a God damn boulder.

[John Dopson]

This is not news. He didn't make the trip.

No kidding it's not breaking news. It doesn't change that he hasn't been on the field and that's not going to help him or the Patriots.

It's crazy to see that starting lineup in the secondary. Very young and talented.

[RedOctober3829]

This is not what I want to see. Chung can't cover Gonzalez.

[Mystic Merlin]

That was a GREAT throw.

[axx]

Those quick passes sure is effective

[Ahriman]

Pats D is getting eaten alive by Atlanta's short passing game.

[RedOctober3829]

Good coverage by the corners there and good pressure.

[Mystic Merlin]

Jesus Christ, it's 15 minutes into the broadcast and I already want to mute it.

EDIT - Fred Taylor sighting.

Stupid Neal

[RedOctober3829]

WES

[Ed Hillel]

Asshole goes right for his knee on the first play.

[RedOctober3829]

He's not human

[Spaulding Smails]

Ok Wes looks good, now get him off the field.

[Mystic Merlin]

Wow, that's quite the catch.

Well on his way to another 678 catches.

[dwightinright]

Welker

[Ed Hillel]

Damn, a better throw and that's 50 yards.

[shawnrbu]

The Pats are still running The Spread?

What about the 2004 offense?

[RedOctober3829]

I love Kevin Faulk.

[Hendu's Gait]

The Dirty Faulk

Who knows? They could be experimenting.

And there's a three TE set.

EDIT - UM PASS INTERFERENCE

Edited by Mystic Merlin, 19 August 2010 - 07:23 PM.

[SoxScout]

Yeah, running through Moss is allowed.

[Ed Hillel]

How the fuck is that no flag?

[shawnrbu]

That PA pass is more like it. Should have been a penalty called.

[dwightinright]

dude, that's a flag...come on.

[Hendu's Gait]

The Dirty Faulk

[Ahriman]

3rd down assassin.

[Jnai]

Kevin Faulk is ridiculous.

[SoxScout]

Nice to see Weis is back running the offense this year.

[Mystic Merlin]

They've run that play 560385 times in the past decade.

[dwightinright]

Apparently the only time in history that Faulk didn't get the first down was in Indy last year. Sigh.

[Jnai]

No Laurence? Did I miss something?

[Ed Hillel]

4-down territory.

Nice truck by Neal there.

[Mystic Merlin]

ATL has no idea what is happening.

[Hendu's Gait]

Depth at RB showcase

[axx]

Wow, good running game

[shawnrbu]

Consecutive 1st Downs on plays that failed in Indy and Miami respectively last season.

[RedOctober3829]

Crumpler and Gronk are going to really help the running game.

TD

[dwightinright]

I love our RBs, even without Maroney.

TD bitch.
