New England Rated Highly Again

Espn.com has released its daily top 10 list and today it’s linebackers.  For those who are unfamiliar, this system takes into account the opinions of a few men over at ESPN.com’s “insider” division, who when rank each team 1-32 at all the positions.  The top 10 picks are then made available to the general public for free in an effort to entice readers to get an ESPN.com Insider account (which you should get, by the way, because it’s awesome, especially if you play fantasy leagues in any sport).  The New England Patriots ranked number four on the list.

Once again, the Patriots rank in the top five in a key category.  These breakdowns are making it easy to see why the Pats are considered the early preseason favorite to win it all in 2007.  Their veteran group of linebackers - some detractors might simply call them “old” - will benefit very much from the addition of Adelius Thomas to the mix.  As ESPN points out, this is not a young group of guys.  It is, however, a very battle-tested group of men who have won a few Super Bowls, and they are not to be underestimated this season.
