I think that Fred is going to have a good year... And I think he will help Maroney..

What stood out to me was the number of times he said Brady and Moss.

interesting, but i didn't like that comment...the pats tend not to like quotes that other teams can put on their locker room bulletin boards for motivation during game week. that definitely falls into that category.

I don't think the Bills have enough talent to put that bulletin board material into action on the field.

Didn't the Jags' website put an asterisk by NE in 07 before the NY Post even took to doing it? Or some such diss.

Hopefully this quote is making the rounds down there too

Notice this FA pattern?

Taylor, Baker and Bodden (not signed, but visited) were all cut by their previous teams, not released. Thus they will not count in a free agent net gain. We have already lost Paxton and Gaffney, who will count as free agent losses, albeit with small AAV, probably a 6 and 7 in comp pick terms. I think the Pats are very aware of this and will keep an eye on this throughout the FA season, and only sign a FA whose contract has expired if it's really worth it...
