All Or Nothing

Tom Brady
Brady attempted all but four of the Pats passes in '02.

 

If Tom Brady got hurt, the Patriots are simply in big trouble, writes Len Pasquarelli. Even with Brady healthy, the offense could struggle because of an unsettled backfield where Kevin Faulk and Antowain Smith vie for the lead spot. On a positive note, offseason additions have vastly improved the defense.

    Clayton: First ... And 10
    With camps winding down, here's some of the best (Steve McNair) and worst (Green Bay's D) things to watch.
    Pasquarelli: Scary thought
    Julius Peppers was a major force last year and he looks even better heading into his second pro season.
    Pasquarelli: Observations from Falcons camp
    Peerless Price has not only improved the Falcons passing attack, but his presence should also impact the ground game.
    Clayton: Camp Swagger
    Seattle and swagger usually don't belong together. However, Mike Holmgren has a confident bunch.
    Pasquarelli: Observations from Ravens camp
    Chris Redman might not be a Super Bowl-caliber QB, but will likely start over Kyle Boller in the opener.
    Clayton: Good fit
    Early indications are that a new start in Denver is exactly what quarterback Jake Plummer needed.
    Florence Diary: Game action
    In his second diary entry, Chargers rookie CB Drayton Florence talks about his first preseason game.
    Clayton: Carr protection
    The Texans need to find a way to keep David Carr, who was sacked 76 times last season, on his feet.
    Pasquarelli: Stuck in neutral
    The phrase they're using at Jaguars camp is "A new era begins." But the beginning could be bumpy.
    Clayton: Super Bowl or bust
    The Raiders kept the core of their team together in an attempt to make another run at the Super Bowl.
    Paolantonio: Duce on the loose
    As the Eagles prepare to make a run at the Super Bowl, RB Duce Staley continues to hold out of training camp.
    Pasquarelli: The big question
    In New Orleans, the question on everyone's mind is whether the Saints can avoid another collapse in December.
    Clayton: A big hit
    Dennis Erickson has brought more contact and aggressiveness to his first camp as 49ers head coach.
    Pasquarelli: Stuffing the run
    Free-agent pickups Sam Adams and Takeo Spikes should improve a Bills run defense that was "embarrassing" last year.
    Pasquarelli: Neck and neck
    In a competition that's too close to call, Tim Couch and Kelly Holcomb battle for the Browns' starting QB job.
