New England Patriots Preseason Questions | Blog of a Dead Racing Horse

02:09 AM ET 08.12 | 1.Will Tom Brady play? Im hoping he does. It would be nice to see play for the 1st time since the KC injury game. It will be nice to see him throw a pass to Welker and Moss.

2.Who will be the Rb that gets cut? Who will be the odd man out. Will Laurence Maroney show why he was drafted in the 1st round. Will BenJarvus Green-Ellis be the odd man out. To many teams know about him and he cant be placed on the practice squad.

3.Who will be the top tight ends? Will David Thomas get cut. Im hoping Alex Smith and Chris Baker show that they are better than thomas who has struggled alot in the past couple of seasons.

4.Should the pats re sign Vince Wilfork now? I say no, they have Ron Brace a guy that could take his spot if Vince chooses not to resign next year. I would wait and see he isn't going to want Albert Haynesworth money

5. Who is going to be the top pass rusher? I thought the job was Shawn Crable's. But they picked up Derrick Burgess from the Raiders for two draft picks(the pats third and fourth-round selections in the 2010 NFL Draft) He had 16 sacks in 05 and 11 in 06.

6.Who will be the top 2 starting cb's? Right now its a toss up between Leigh Bodden, rookie Darius Butler, Shawn Springs, Terrence Wheatley and Jonathan Wilhite.

7.Mr.Wild card Julian Edelman? Julian Edelman was a QB at kent state much like former Kent State quarterback Josh Cribbs. He is a close carbon copy to Cribbs and im hoping he can be a punt return man/wr and run some wildcat stuff.

8.Will pre season pats tv analysts Randy Cross and Don Criqui be back to do games? One web site says they will be back and they will be joined by "big time" Steve Burton son of former pats rb Ron Burton. Wbz cbs 4 in boston will be the new home of the pats in the pre season.

9.Who will be the long snapper? Rookie Jake Ingram or vet Nathan Hodel. The Boston Globe says jake has the upper hand and he has been seen practicing with the team. While Hodel was no were to be found.
