Patriots off - season?

Their pickups look good on paper, but unfortunately football is played on a field not paper. The team chemistry will be interesting with guys like Stallworth & Washington, who can be malcontents. Adalius Thomas will be good, but he'll only be great if the Patriots other linebackers can be relevant enough to get attention from blockers. Welker is a consumate Patriot, so good move getting him. Excellent point about Ray Lewis.
