Which of the teams 5 players will you be keeping a particular closer keen eye on for as long as they remain on the field against the Eagles in the preseason opener?
My 5 are...
1) Tom Brady - Everyone including non-patriots fans will be looking at our leader returning and hopefully looking super as usual - Brady WILL play at least a series or two
2) Gary Guyton - This guy intrigues me as to wonder if he just had a few good looking games and goes back to the unknown or whether he is the real deal,Gary is very important to the inside of this defense,we cannot rely on #54 to hold down the fort anymore
3) Leigh Bodden - This is the Corner we should all be looking closely at as he looks to be the general of the outside perimeter of this defense and his play will be crucial to the success of this team against powerful passing QBs like Brees,Manning and Ryan this season
4) Pierre Woods - I would put Derrick Burgess here but I don't think he plays yet and for that reason I think Woods is a very important piece to the pass rush and a sack or two of the Philly QBs would be a confidence builder for all of us
5) Nathan Hodel - A long snapper you say as an important guy to watch? - Yes and for the simple reason that this will be a new guy in the Patriots system as a LS since 1999 (the year before Paxton got here) and as small as his role is,it is a big one..just ask Adam Vinatieri - I want to see how it flows between him,the holder and Stephen
