Now for the Pats....
They looked pretty good last night. My fears about the trenches were unfounded (well....for this game). PG controlled both lines of scrimmage pretty handily. PG debuted a new QB, Mr. Andrew Canter. Canter had his good moments and bad. He floated a nice ball to Zander Cheek to set up PG's first touchdown. He also floated a nice TD pass to Chase Whitaker over the middle in the second half. It'll be interesting to see how he looks down the road.
Defense overall looked good. Linebacking core is strong as expected. I really liked the play of Brady Collins and David Braddy. Tucker Batten looked good kicking the football.
Despite the positivity, I don't think this year's edition of PG will be as good as last year's. I hope I'm wrong. The biggest concern will be depth. The Patriots looked to have around 30 players total. They can't afford to have any key injuries.
PG got a favorable matchup last night. I think the games with Southern Guilford and Ledford will tell a lot more about this team. Conference-wise, I think the Patriots will be alright against anyone NOT named Eastern Randolph.
