Tom Brady was on the cover of SI last year just prior to the season. He proceeded to blow his knee out on a questionable hit by The Chief's Bernard Pollard. Although the Pats managed a very good record of 11-5 they failed to make the playoffs. The bad news is Brady is back on SI's cover. The good news is Tom Brady appears to be back and if he is WATCH OUT NFL!
Once the future HOF QB went down last season the balance of power was said to have shifted. The Jets, with antique QB Brett Favre, were supposed to win the AFC. Unfortunately the Dolphins dashed both the Pats and Jets dreams.
This year Brady seems determined to prove to the league once again his greatness. The sixth round draft pick is accustomed to having doubters and nay- sayers about his abilities. This season, assuming a healthy receiving corps headed by Randy Moss and Wes Welker, along with other added offensive weapons in Fred Taylor, Joey Galloway, Fred Taylor and a healthy Laurence Maroney, and a versatile Kevin Faulk, the Pats are pissed off and poised to make another run at the Big Prize.
With a younger defense short on linebackers, the Pats may just have to bludgeon teams to death as they did two years ago when the entire NFL whined about them " running up scores".
With a younger more athletic defensive backfield the Pats hope to re-capture a Dominating Defense, confusing opponent's QBs along the way. Jarod Mayo is coming off a stellar season and the Pats will be counting on him to lead the "D" along with the likes of Richard Seymour, Vince Wilfork , and Tedy Bruschi.
We still have a long way to go before NFL season heats up but look out world Brady is Back.
