So the pre-season begins tonight. To be totally honest, after the Patriots lost the Super Bowl last year I said I would not be interested in Football untill the start of the regular season. Well I am happy to say I was wrong. Watching training camp for the past week or so I have gotten so amped for Football that I am actually excited for pre-season games.
To most people the pre-season is meaningless, but I think this Patriots pre-season is very important. The defense is so young and they need alot of in game action, and the pre-season is the perfect place to get it. I for one have my doubts on the Patriots defense mainly because of the corner back situation. The D-line and line backer core still seems very solid, and Rodney Harrison still has some left in the tank at saftey. However the corners really need to put in alot of work this pre-season. I know Tom Brady and the offense can score tons of points so the defense will get alot of breaks, but I don't want the offense to have to score every time they have the ball just to keep the score even. Opossing teams Quarterbacks are going to target the Patriots secondary and they should. It's a young core with not much experience, and that's why this pre-season is a great test for the Patriots.
I know its only August but I can already smell Football in the air. The Fall is coming and the season is starting. It's a great time to be in New England.
