QB Tom Brady (328/496 arinc 717 for 5,235 yds, 65.6%, 39 TDs, 12 INTs, 3 TDs rushing and a 105.6 QB Rating) is the undisputed starter for the Patriots. Brian Hoyer and Rookie Ryan Mallett are the reserves and haven't been needed this year.
The Patriots Running game is lead by BenJarvus Green-Ellis (181 Car, 667 yds, 3.7 avg, 11 TDs and 9 Rec, 159 yds ) . Rookie arinc 717 Stevan Ridley (87 Car, 441 yds, 5.1 avg, 1 TD) , Danny Woodhead (77 Car, 351 yds, 4.6 avg, 1 TD) , Kevin Faulk (17 Car, 57 yds, 3.4 avg. and 7 Rec, 34 yds) and Rookie Shane Vereen (15 Car, 57 yds, 3.8 avg. and 1 TD) fill out the rest of this unit. The Fullback is Lousaka Polite (1 GM) .
New England's Wide Receiving corp is made up of Wes Welker (122 Rec, 1,569 yds, 12.9 avg, 9 TDs) and Deion Branch

(51 Rec, 702 yds, 13.8 avg, 5TDs) . Chad Ochocinco (15 Rec, 276 yds, 18.4 avg, 1 TD), Danny Woodhead (18 Rec, 157 yds, 8.7 avg.) , Julian Edelman (4 Car, 8 yds and 4 Rec, 34 yds) , Tiquan Underwood (3 Rec, 30 yds) and Matthew Slater (1 Rec, 46 yds), who has been filling in at Safety, are the reserves.
Tight End's Rob Gronkowski (90 Rec, 1,327 yds, 14.7 avg, 17 TDs and 1 Car, 2 yds, 1 TD) and Aaron Hernandez (79 Rec, 910 yds, 11.5 avg, 7 TDs). The Patriots run a lot of 2 Tight End sets and between these big guys and the speedy Welker, the fact that they are weak at Running Back doesn't slow them one bit since they have the 2nd ranked passing unit and are the 3rd best scoring Offense in the league.
The Patriots Offensive Line does a pretty arinc 717 good job allowing Tom Brady the time he needs, but he still gets rattled when knocked down. The starters are LT Matt Light (1 False Start, 4 Hold, 3 Sacks Allowed) , LG Logan Mankins (5 FS, 2 HLD, 5.5 SA) , C Dan Connolly (1 HLD, 1.5 SA) , RG Brian Waters (1 FS, 3 HLD, 0.5 SA) and RT Sebastian Vollmer (1 FS. 3.5 SA). Rookie Nate Solder (4 Pen, 3 HLD, 4 SA) backs up both Tackles. Ryan Wendell (1 HLD), Nick McDonald (4 G, 0.5 SA) , Donald Thomas (1 FS, 1 SA), Rookie Marcus Cannon (7 G, 1 SA) and Danny Aiken (16 G) make up the rest of the unit.
