Backups fill Patriots’ Super Bowl rest
By Dave Goldberg
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Super ticket prices for Super Bowl
HOUSTON — No-names
are in, and egos are out on Bill
Belichick’s team.
That’s a major reason why
the New England Patriots have
won 14 straight and will
attempt to claim their second
Super Bowl in three seasons
Sunday against Carolina.
Despite a rash of injuries, they
have been able to plug in
obscure substitutes and keep
on winning.
“A guy who comes in and
wants his name on a scoreboard
that says, 'Joe Blow. No. 28,' is
probably not going to be a New
England Patriot,” Belichick
said. “A guy who wants to play
for a team and not worry about
being a star is likely to be one.”
The run of no-name backups
actually began two years ago
when Tom Brady stepped in at
quarterback for the injured
Drew Bledsoe and led New
England to the Super Bowl in a
thrilling 20-17 upset of St.
Louis. Two years later, he is, as
owner team owner Robert Kraft
put it Tuesday, “the poster boy
for our team.”
Unlike Brady, most of this
year’s injury replacements will
never be poster boys for any
thing. But in a league where
almost every team suffers when
starters get hurt, the Patriots
have thrived; 43 different play
ers have started in 18 games
and almost all have done well.
In Sunday’s Super Bowl,
New England will be missing
three offensive linemen who
were starters when training
camp began: center Mike
Compton, left guard Damien
Woody and right tackle Adrian
Klemm. Replacing them will be
center Dan Koppen, a rookie;
guard Russ Hochstein, who
started the season on the prac
tice squad; and tackle Tom
Ashworth, who was inactive
for 15 games last season and a
tight end in the one game he
did play.
No one seems concerned,
even though the Carolina
defensive line is arguably the
best in the NFL.
Belichick’s no-star approach
wasn't lost on Carolina, which
landed in the championship
game a mere two years after
finishing 1-15.
The cost of a Super Bowl ticket has risen dramatically sincel
first game in 1967. This year’s price is the same as lastyea j
record-setting figure. f s
$50; |
$500

“We’ve noted what the
Patriots are doing, and our
approach is pretty much the
same,” Panthers general man
ager Marty Hurney said. "It’s a
team concept rather than a star
concept, and it works.”
It certainly has for New
England, for whom short
term stars have popped in
from nowhere.
For example:
— Mike Cloud, a career
backup, replaced the injured
Antowain Smith at running
back in his first game back
from a four-week substance
abuse suspension and carried
seven times for 73 yards and
two touchdowns in a 38-30
win over Tennessee. He rushed
for only 45 yards the rest of
the year.
— Linebacker Matt
Chatham, strictly a special
teamer previously, got his first
four starts in a four-season
career. Against the Titans, he
had eight tackles and the fol
lowing week returned a fumble
38 yards for a touchdown in a
17-6 win against the Giants.
— Little-used defensive end
Jarvis Green, who had just 4
1/2 sacks in two NFL seasons,
got three on Peyton Manning
in New England’s 24-14 win
over Indianapolis in the AFC
title game.
One aspect of the Patriots’
success is age — 21 of the 53
players on thejr roster are
over 30.,
Many are major contributors
like Smith; linebackers Willie
McGinest and Tedy Bruschi;
wide receiver Troy Brown;
defensive end Bobby Hamilton;
and safety Rodney Harrison.

Johnson and Roman Pi P 1 11
