Jonas Gray and Brandon Browner will be suiting up for their first regular season games with the Patriots tonight.  Not suiting up are Stork, Ebner, Connelly, Fleming, White, Dobson, and Butler.
Jonas Gray will be wearing jersey #35 tonight.  With James White out of the lineup, Gray will see his share of snaps.  Gray looked pretty good in the preseasons and had the following statistics:
9 for 12 yards against the Redskins
12 for 98 against the Eagles
9 for 20 against the Panthers
7 for 12 against the Giants
Starting in place of Jerod May is Deontae Skinner. 
There has been a lot of twitter chatter about Revis possibly playing a little offense tonight.  We will have to see if that happens.  My guess is that if there is smoke then there is NO FIRE.  This is the Patriots we are talking about here folks.  If we see a player playing out of position, I think it is more likely that a defensive lineman is playing offensive lineman.  Who wouldn't want to see a little Wilfork on a goal line play? 

Although there was a lot of rain in Foxboro today the game will be much cleaner than what we had in Kansas City where they intentionally made bad field conditions at Arrowhead. 

Like I posted late last night, I think there will be a lot of scoring from our tight ends.  That is unless the defense takes turnovers to paydirt.

When the Jets punt tonight, I would like to see Edeleman call for some fair catches instead of getting drilled like he did last week.
 
As usual, field position and the turnover battle will be key.  Although it is a late night game, I'm pretty certain the fans will be hydrated to Tom Brady's content. 
Oh yeah, in case you hadn't heard, the Jets did give the Patriots some last minute "bulletin board" material with comment of "shutout".  Thanks boys.
