With all the injuries the Pats have right now, the main thing you notice is how shallow this team looks for a preseason game. Most of the second string players you’ll see on the 53 man roster are either hurt or playing with the first stringers right now. That makes our third string defense look all the weaker.

My main question after the first half is: who’s more impressive the offense or the defense? How scary is it that this is essentially still a first/second string team with so many starters not playing yet?
Can Stevan Ridley follow up his debut with another solid performance?

The pre-season is all about evaluating talent, positional battles, and staying healthy. Here are a few things I’m looking for tonight against the Bucs.
I participated in the Pre-season Top 25 NCAA Poll headed up by Matthew at BuffaloBillsDraft.com – the results were somewhat interesting. Like most pre-season polls, I think there will be a lot of movement by October.
Devin McCourty heads up the list of Patriots second-year players.

With the Patriots playing their second preseason game Thursday night, I figured there’s no better time to look at all of the second year players on the Patriots roster and where they might stand coming into this game.
Last year’s draft was one of the best Patriots drafts of all time, so there’s a lot of exciting players on this list.
Stevan Ridley made it easy to find an additional roster spot with his performance Thursday night.
After completing another exhaustive exercise of coming up with what I think would be the most productive final roster for the New England Patriots, I’m pretty sure that Nick Caserio and company are going to have more than their fair sure of sleepless nights in the next few weeks.
Let us know how you would change things if you were GM.
