How competent would the Pats’ offense be if Tom Brady went down with an injury? Is Matt Cassell ready to step in and win a game? Or if Randy Moss sustains an injury, is the receiving corps anywhere near as potent? Suddenly there isn’t the need to double cover him, and a defense can better protect itself against the slot receivers. Wes Welker’s production, while well earned, would not be possible without Moss split out wide. The Giants have a team that resembles the Patriot’s championship teams of the last five years: a cohesive unit that doesn’t lose stride if one piece is missing. However, with the Pats’ defense as porous as it currently is, perfecting the “bend but don’t break” approach, the team would be in trouble if their offense couldn’t be counted on for thirty points per game.

Jeremy Shockey goes out, enter Kevin Boss who is sure-handed, maybe not as dynamic a receiver, but is a better blocking tight end, which serves their run game.
