Patriots surprisingly cut James Sanders, now its up to Meriweather

August 30, 2011 | Steve Balestrieri

Sanders was never spectacular or flashy, just a calm, steadying influence in the backfield. One aspect of his game that will be most missed is his communication skills, which are superb. Pro Football Focus posted a breakdown of the Patriots coverage grade

Patriots 53 Man Roster Projection 3.0

August 31, 2011 | Steve Balestrieri

The fact that Ochocinco struggled in pre-season isn’t surprising, it takes time to learn the Pats complicated offense. But is anyone worried yet that Deion Branch is invisible so far? Brandon Tate did nothing to help his own case on Saturday.

American Football in Israel, the Perfect Legacy for Myra, Robert Kraft

September 07, 2011 | Steve Balestrieri

Kraft Field is likely the only place in the entire Middle East you’ll find Palestinians and Jewish settlers embracing. But Ayoob Elayyan and his two Palestinian brothers helped a team of mostly Jewish settlers win the championship of Israel’s American foo

Patriots - Dolphins MNF Key Matchups

September 08, 2011 | Steve Balestrieri

The Patriots have revamped their defense and it speaks volumes about Bill Belichick. He doesn’t have a problem with cutting away draft picks, even high ones that he selected. It’s all about the performance on the field, not where you were selected in the

NFL Week 1 Picks

September 11, 2011 | Steve Balestrieri

The big key to watch are the Patriots tight ends, both Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez provide match-up nightmares for defensive coordinators. Gronkowski showed all summer he was near impossible to cover.

Patriots, Chargers Key Matchups

September 14, 2011 | Steve Balestrieri

Last year the Patriots were dismal on third down, last week, despite giving up a lot of yards through the air, the Patriots held the Dolphins to 2-14 on third downs. While it is only one game, the difference between 47% and 14% is startling. This must con

NFL Week 2 Picks

September 16, 2011 | Steve Balestrieri

Vick's returning to Atlanta should be interesting from both points of view and not overlooked. The Falcons laid an egg last week and should be primed for a much better game. Look for them to run the ball and use the middle of the field with Tony Gonzalez

Patriots - Bills Key Matchups

September 21, 2011 | Steve Balestrieri

Brady also has his safety blanket in Wes Welker out of the slot and huge TE Rob Gronkowski who will be a matchup nightmare. Gronk is impossible to cover with a linebacker, so if they move one of the safeties (George Wilson or Jarius Byrd) over to Gronk, i

NFL Week 3 Picks

September 23, 2011 | Steve Balestrieri

The Bills provide a good matchup but Brady will pick apart the Buffalo secondary and the pressure to score on them will lead Fitzpatrick to turn the ball over.

The key player for the Patriots this week is MLB Brandon Spikes,the Patriots will need him to step up big and be the bruising run stopper he is.

October 01, 2011 | Steve Balestrieri

For a detailed matchup look, click here: Tom Brady will have to bounce back from a game where he threw 4 INTs, the same amount he threw all of last season. The Patriots defense is getting gashed badly through the air, and has the NFL’s leading rusher in D

Patriots - Jets Week Here, Key Matchups

October 05, 2011 | Steve Balestrieri

I see the Jets either sliding Darelle Revis over to the slot and going one on one with him, trying to jam Welker at the line of scrimmage disrupting the timing of his routes, or covering him underneath with Kyle Wilson and doubling him over the top with a
