Well we are at the 3rd preseason game, and if you know football at all this is by far the most important. Usually this is the game when the starters play the deepest into the game. So here is what to watch for...
1. Running back Situation - We are finally going to get to see how the Patriots plan to use all their running backs. A lot of people have been saying how well Maroney has looked in camp. If he wants to get his touches then he is going to need to step up in this game.
2. Pat Chung needs to have a much better game. Last time out he muffed a punt, and missed some tackles. This is a team with Super Bowl aspirations, so a young guy like Chung really needs to play like he belongs all the time, or he will be riding the pine.
3. What is the deal with the patriots defense. Last time out they went 3-4, but there has been a lot of talk of switching to 4-3 (which I like). If they do go 4-3 is there really any need for Bruschi on this team? Watch for how they use him tonight...
4. Will Shawn Springs play? He hasn't yet, but you would really like to see him out there getting comfortable with the other guys on the defense. Keep an eye to see if he is out there and healthy.
5. This could be Watson's last game as a Patriot. He needs a big night to even stay on the roster. Keep an eye to see how they use him, and how he is able to preform.
