Even if I was - what the hell do I know? I thought the days of the Colts dominance passed a year and a half ago - and they were big Super Bowl favorites last year even without Bob Sanders.

The days of Moss's dominance obviously haven't passed if you read the reports coming out of the Pats training camp by everyone covering them.

Do you really think Brady is toast at this young of an age? I've seen guys like Rich Gannon and Brett Favre play otherworldly at qb while older than dirt.

The running game will be there at will if Moss is there with the deep ball. That's how offenses end up unstoppable when he gets going.

Torry Holt is a future hall of fame receiver that's younger than Moss - that rookie tight end out of Arizona can block like a mofo - Welker and Edellman are good system guys in the slot.

The only thing I don't feel good about is the offensive line and the defense - but I think there's a good chance both will be competent.

Stick with that thought. When you start bragging about Torry Holt and a blocking TE, it's time to hang it up for the thread.

Torry Holt is going to get cut.

If that happens - I guess his days of dominance have passed in a hurry.

He lost it last year and possibly the year before. It says a lot when he campaigned hard for the Bears to sign him, and Martz never gave any blessing to sign Holt.

Ty Warren is done for the season. That NE's best DL. Well Aaron Schobel is available.

that rookie TE from AZ is going to be a major force. maybe not his rookie year, but he will be a great TE in the league.

That guy is unreal.

He looks like strictly a blocking tight end the best I could tell from yesteday - but he blocks well from the looks of it.

The other TE that was a high draft pick - the one from Florida - he wasn't impressive.

Hernandez is more of a reciever / te than a true TE. They run the spread at Florida and the TE position is built around catching and scoring TD's there.

Hernandez has decent speed & good hands, though who knows how that will translate to the NFL though.

Gronkowski, on the other hand, is an absolute beast. If he can stay healthy, he will be a force for a long long time.

He is a terrific blocker, and has GREAT hands. Best player to come from the U of A in a long long time (not that it means much). He had a cult like following at U of A.

Was out last year from a back injury, but in the two years he started, he put up unheard of TE #'s. 75 catches, 1,197 yards and 16 TD (that stat alone is ridiculous)

The man had such soft hands, and is so big (6'5 1/2" 265 lbs), that once he has a year or two in the league, even NFL linebackers wont be a match for him. He lowers his shoulders and runs over anyone. Will drag a LB 10 yards after being hit.

You guys got a real player. I hope he stays healthy.
