They only return 2 offensive starters, an O-lineman and QB. On defense they return 2 DL, LB, and a safety. Losing both RBs is going to hurt but they are a running team and there's lots of people that could be carrying it this year. 6, 11, 22, 10 and they also have a transfer from Madison Southern, not sure but could also be a choice at RB. Losing all but 1 starting o-lineman will hurt. Losing leadership in the secondary will hurt as well. Returning their QB is a plus, he will have to make plays when the passing game is needed.

If these inexperienced OL get coached well, as I know they will, and linebackers along with secondary make improvements and find the right personnel it will be a good season for the Patriots.
