Truth be told it is not going to be Tom Brady  that changes the Patriots it is all on the O-line that was awesome for 17 games in07 and again was stellar in 08 helping Matt cassel to his new riches but needs to be Extremely consistant and above all healthy. Without these Men in the trenches we stand little chance of making the playoffs and completeing a successful season. Brady must feel that he has no worries when he is doing his job and can go about his business with the same acuracy he demonstrated during his MVP season. They must also show the ability to establish the running game that when handed a lead they can grind out a victory and dominate matchups that favor them. Afterall the Defense is not a top 10 ar maybe 15 and wiil need long rest periods when facing the passing onslots of talented foes on the schedule. So breakout your Mankins jersey and support the guys who will really make the year.
