New England Patriots lacking veteran leadership with Vince Wilfork injury
By Jason Marcum
As Albert Breer of the NFL Network pointed out, the Pats are no longer a roster compromised of aging veterans on their last legs, but instead have a roster full of young and spry rookies:
Could this be what the Patriots need though?
After falling short of their ultimate goal in each of the past seven seasons, having not held Lombardi Trophy since 2005, now they can try and win with more youth on their roster, and not watch their aging players run out of gas in the playoffs?
That remains to be seen, but with a 4-0 record, you couldn’t have asked for a better start to build the confidence of their young corps of players.
