And he is only 22 years old.

And here's that article now!
Malcom Brown could be Patriots’ next breakout star on defense

“I’ve played around DeMarcus Ware, Peyton Manning, guys like that,” Knighton said. “Being around those type of guys, hearing (Brown) talk football, I knew he was a knowledgeable guy. When I first got here, I was just trying to get a feel for everybody, and I realized he has such a grasp of the playbook by how he talks and how quick he plays. I just try to learn as much as I can from a young guy and also try to help him with some things that I’ve seen around the league.

“He definitely has more knowledge beyond a guy who has only been in the league for one year.”

Another great piece; this time it's about the TE room. I'd love to be a fly on this wall.

Clay Harbor excited to finally pitch in for Patriots

“I’m definitely more of the soft-spoken guy, but I’ll throw in a joke here or there,” Harbor said. “I can’t let them dominate the whole joke arena.”

Fascinating. When was the last time this happened? Seems like we're always tweaking the team.

Cue the Boston media articles, "Belichick Loosing His Touch?" "Has Complacency Set in with the Patriots?"

Not true. Everyone just thinks that because a reporter kept asking him about practice after a defeat in a playoff game. Iverson was trying to deflect the question back in a sort of rhetoric, not down play the benefits of practice.

But that would ruin my joke.

 

[Danger Zone]

Imagine if we could have had a 1st round pick that could contribute his rookie/this year?

Wonder who "we" would have taken?

Hopefully, we'll just take the Lombardi.

 

[Bourne Again Christian]

Lets just say it would of been a trade down for Thuney Mitchell and J Jones and call it a day

Thanks Bob.
Say "Hi" to the 31 at your next beautiful people gathering.

Based on the post-draft stories and how the draft played out, my guesses would be 1) trade back for a 2nd that would have been used on Su'a Cravens (and maybe K G-H isn't drafted in the 6th), 2) selecting Jaylon Smith if no good trade option available, or 3) selecting Cravens in that spot even without the trade back.

I saw that yesterday, and in the limited amount of time I had to watch him, I've come to the conclusion that this is Randy Moss 2.0

Not the drama and eventual fallout, but how we traded a mere 4th round pick for a game-changer, not once, but twice. Great athleticism, deceptive speed, soft hand, good catch radius- it's frankly downright unfair to the rest of the league, and their fans. We'll be accused of cheating once again, and there will be a howl of protest. But **** them, because... Deflategate.

Really liked what I saw. He was aligned all over, a Swiss army knife TE; seems to have the playbook verbiage down pat. I didn't see him out of position at any point, which has to be very encouraging.

Once again ESPN being ESPN. I believed for years the small portion they played until I saw a documentary that played the ENTIRE thing. That was the beginning of when I started to realize how full of sh*t that network is really.

 

[captain stone]

I really like this. The chemistry is building.

We still need talent upgrades at Backup LT & at Power RB.

Hopefully they can afford to extend him.

…or 4) selecting LB Myles Jack...

Forgot about him - you're right, that story was going around as well. Stupid Goodell, this topic is raising my blood pressure to unsafe levels, I need to move on from it....

Love the words from Pot Roast on Brown

 

[PScottman]

It's not about the inevitable decline from his superior first week, but the response to it by Garappolo that bears watching. Is it a blip before a rebound or return to the more normative performance data of the past couple seasons?

Any lineup that has Cannon in it is automatically a bad lineup. An actual canon would be better than Cannon.

To which canon do you refer? Catholic canon?
Code of Canon Law

Star Wars canon?

Music canon?
Pachelbel's Canon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Canon camera canon?
Canon EOS Digital Cameras | Canon Online Store
