Victory is proof positive
Patriots not perfect, but Redskins no match
LANDOVER, Md. -- Put yourself in coach Bill Belichick's shoes this morning. Do you stress the good things -- like an 85-yard bomb from Tom Brady to David Patten, or Bethel Johnson's 98-yard kickoff return, or Eugene Wilson's interception -- or do you scratch your head about the lingering struggle to stop the run, or Johnson's fumbled kickoff, or the plethora of first-half penalties?
"It felt like a long night," said Belichick. "It started well, but we didn't have the consistency in the last three quarters of the game. We made some big plays. There was some good and some not so good."
At the very least, last night's second exhibition game was another win for the Patriots, 20-13, before 68,980 at FedEx Field. The best way to describe it was a mixed bag of the good, the bad, and the ugly....

Run defense can't gain ground
LANDOVER, Md. -- For all the work the Patriots have done to add speed and playmakers to their defense, one ugly reminder of last season's travails resurfaced early in last night's 20-13 win over the Washington Redskins at FedEx Field.
Remember Ricky Williams? LaDainian Tomlinson? Priest Holmes? Ahman Green? Eddie George? Curtis Martin? Well, if last night is any indication -- and in the long run it may not be -- not enough has changed in a problematic area of the Patriots' defense.
Much emphasis has been put on a run defense that was 31st in the NFL last season, worse than every team save the Houston Texans. This is of particular concern because New England plays in a division that features three of the best running backs in the AFC in Williams, Martin, and Travis Henry. If they cannot be stopped the difficulty of beating their respective teams grows exponentially....

A sound Brown remains a priority
LANDOVER, Md. -- So far, so good for receiver Troy Brown, who is healthy after playing hurt most of last season.
"I feel good," said Brown. "You're never going to feel any better than this the rest of the year. This is it. You're going to be bruised up and nicked up the rest of the year.
"As long as I don't feel like I did coming down the stretch last year, I'll feel all right."
Brown caught 97 passes last season while nursing a sore ankle and knee. He also returned to special teams duties....
