Pats News

For all of you football fans out there, today is a big day....the return of football! Hooray.

Here are some keys to the camp, as it begins today.

1. When will Brady sign? We all know it is going to happen....but when....and how will it impact the "future" of the franchise.

2. Will Logan return? This is a biggee. Logan cannot afford to miss the entire year, especially with a lockout looming. But when with this resolve.

3. My kingdom for an outside linebacker???? Is this what the Pats are thinking? With Crable released and Burgess contemplating retirement, what is in store for the LB core. My guess is that Burgess will be back. If not...oh no.

4. WHat will the impact of Z be? You know....the punter, Z. I bet he is going to be a hit....literally.

5. Are the receivers all set? I think so. With solid 3s in the fold, and Edelman serving as a four, I think they are good. Patten sounds like a serviceable backup and vet to have around.

6. Is the D-Line all set? While Jarvis left for greener - er oanger - pastures, the rooks and vets signed here will do fine. The team should be good in this spot this year. Wilfork and Warren are the anchors. The third man in - whoever it may be - will do well.

This is just my day 1 snippet. Keep your eyes peeled for more!!!

I'm Back With Shaq

Hey fans.

Been a while since I last got to write. Just me checking in with my two cents on Shaq.

My two cents - GET HIM.

If he will come for the veteran minimum and accept his role. We can use him. Here's why.

1. With Jermaine O'Neal as the current starting center, a suitable backup is going to be needed.

2. Having Shaq as backup means that KP does not have to come back from surgery too fast. Rest up and prep for playoffs would be great for him. He was wayyyyy to tired for the finals.

3. While Jermaine O'Neal is good for pick and roll defense - and Shaq is, well, not - Shaq can clog the lane nicely and put on some good inside moves. He could have been the difference in game 7.

All said, a perfect reason for Shaq to go green!
