The Return of Tom Brady

As I analyzed the mechanics of the once all-pro quarterback, who started off slow vs. a weak Bills defense, I noticed a few things. When Brady was injured by a hit to his knee, he had stepped up in the pocket. In the game Monday night, Brady didn't step up into the pocket when the outside rush came. I wasn't sure if he didn't realize the space, or he didn't feel comfortable going into the space. The trademark of Wes Welker was horrible on Monday night, as he dropped many passes while a screen was being set up, which didn't exactly help Brady. Moss dropped a few passes, and my primary reason for concern for the Pats is their mechanics. Many times in those dropped pass situations, the wide out started to run before they got the ball. I am also curious to see how the defense does without Richard Seymour and Tedy Bruschi.
