What to watch for

Tonight we take on the the Cheat (I mean Patriots) at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro. Usually week 3 and 4 of the preseason are reserved for guys trying to make the rosters, and not all that interesting to watch. However in this match up there is reason.


Tony Hunt is going to play fullback. A converted halfback with just a week of practice under his belt will be starting. Donovan had better be light on his feet, if Hunt's pass protection isn't there.

Receivers, Receivers, and more Receivers. With Reggie Brown not playing due to a Hamstring injury 2nd round pick DeSean Jackson is getting the nod. The guy has been impressive so far. Let's see if that continues to be the case tonight. He's going up against the starters, and is going to have a lot more on his plate. Then there is the juggling act that is Greg Lewis and Hank Baskett. They are going to filling in for the herniated Kevin Curtis. They are going to step up in a big way, and it needs to start right now!

There could be a "Big Kid" Shawn Andrews sighting. Andrews has missed a lot of practice time due to his depression. Now he's going to be playing conditioning catch up. Hopefully tonight he'll look close to being ready for opening day.

Last, but definitely not least look for Heather Mitts! She's hot, and a Gold medalist. Hopefully she'll bring her friend, Teammate, and smiter of Greg Ryan. Not sure if "smiter" is even an actual word, but who cares.

Be on the look out for Tom Brady. Actually, just bo on the look out for his girlfriend. Apparently he doesn't do preseason.

Monday will be the recap. Until then, Stay Frosty.
