The Patriots really struggled against the pass last season

As far as A-Rod is concerned, I told the Monday night crew last year, I said, 'If this guy, if they protect him the way he needs to be protected, he's the best quarterback in the league, and I stand by that. If you look at last season, you take a guy that had over 50 sacks that still threw over 4,000 yards, that's incredible."

The Patriots jerseys will likely be without Wes Welker for the majority of the 2010 season, which could make things very difficult for veteran wide out Randy Moss, as defenses will likely spend more time keying on him. The Patriots did add another veteran to the mix in Torry Holt, but the key to this group will be the play of second year slot receiver Julian Edelman, who takes over for Welker in the Pats offensive scheme.

The Patriots football jerseys appear content on using a number of backs in the running game, as former first round pick Laurance Maroney has not lived up to his expectations out of college. Pretty much the same goup is back for the 2010 season, as the Patriots will also use veterans Sammy Morris, Fred Taylor, and Kevin Faulk.

The offensive line has been together since the 2006 season and even though it is starting to show its age they figure to remain in tact this season. This group has to perform well if the Pats are going to be successful, as they pass as much as any other team in the leauge.
