New England not ready for dynasty ta ote nan cro ,vho ^ov A leac 16 p lum he 1 md 1 athi he lexi mm ont tlmi )fd Stati n pi ral n h )ein By Dave Goldberg THE ASSOCIATED PRESS HOUSTON — Bill Belichick shies away from the “D” word. Yet even after winning their second Super Bowl in three seasons, the New England Patriots seem to be as close to a dynasty as any team can be in an era of parity. But if “D” doesn’t mean dynasty, it could certainly mean dominant. “1 don’t want to get into all of that,” Belichick said Monday, less than 12 hours after the Patriots beat the Carolina Panthers 32-29. I don't know about our legacy, but two titles in three years in the environment of the NFL these days is quite an achievement — Charlie Weis New England offensive coordinator “The NFL is so competitive, 32 teams on a level field banging their heads to get here. It’s hard to think that way.” On the surface, the Patriots seemed dominant. They finished with 15 straight wins, joining the unbeaten 1972 Dolphins (17-0) as the only teams to accomplish that feat in a single season. But nine of New England’s 15 victories were by eight points or less, and only a 31 - 0 win over Buffalo in the regular-season finale was truly one-sided. Both their Super Bowl wins have come on last-sec ond field goals by Adam Vinatieri, unquestionably the best clutch kicker in the game. Still, in a league where the salary cap and free agency make it difficult for a suc cessful team to keep its players, New England is in a unique situation. The Patriots have so many players cho sen for their ability to play a specific role, it should be easier for them to keep their roster nearly intact, unlike Baltimore, which won in 2001 and has just started to rebound after shedding a number of high- salaried players. But the Patriots do have some cap problems. Quarterback Tom Brady and corner- back Ty Law, will count somewhere around $17 million against the $79 million cap next season. The 26-year-old Brady, who won his second Super Bowl MVP trophy, certainly isn’t going anywhere. But Law, who had three interceptions in the AFC title game and who will be just 30 next season, could go — unless he restructures his contract. Still, the Patriots separate themselves from the pack by their ability to plug in an obscure player for a solid starter and not lose a thing. Lionel Hahn • KRTO New England quarterback Tom Brady looks to complete a pass during the fourth quarterof Bowl XXXVIII Sunday at Reliant Stadium in Houston. The Patriots won 32-29 to taketheib World Championship in three years. Brady was named Super Bowl XXXVIII MVP. 1 Stai urgi beg For example, Belichick cut safety Lawyer Milloy just before the start of the regular season. Rookie Eugene Wilson, a cornerback in college, took his place with little dropoff. Rookies also could be a big part in next season’s Patriots. Six made major contributions this sea son, and New England will have two first- rounders in April’s draft — the 21st and 32nd overall. That could allow them to trade up for a prime player or simply sit back and take what Belichick prefers: guys who fit specific roles. Most importantly, the Patriots are a “team” in the true sense of the word. None of the Patriots’ three top receivers — second-year men Deion Branch and David Givens and 11-year veteran Troy Brown — are stars. Yet Branch to catches for 143 yards in the Superl while Brown had eight for 76 andC five for 69. ”1 wouldn't trade that group of ret* for any in the league,” Brady said. So, count on the Patriots to cd especially if they continue to drafts as they have in past years. Sure, they missed the playoffs s ago, finishing 9-7 and losing the P on a tiebreaker, and they could ? again next season — they car 1 EVERY close game. “I don’t know about our lei 1 offensive coordinator Charlie Wei* “But two titles in three years in# ronment of the NFL these days M 11 achievement.” re g; repi arbi left proi 1 COIT acti Bus orit i beir Col Ses: Wer reqi Sen exp ( 1 SU P |
