He claimed last month that he would talk about it in the future, but it was pretty serious since he said it almost killed him. Patriots Veteran 'Nearly Lost' Life During New England's 2023 Run

I love this quote, and it explains a lot of what we saw from Belichick. People used to say, “Belichick puts players in the best position for them to succeed.” That was never true. He put *veterans* in the best position to succeed - where he knew what they could do. Younger players he didn’t...

A former NFL punter. You know how much he loves his special teams.

Most NFL QBs have talent, some more than others. Even Zack Wilson can win AFC player of the week. What I want to know though, is how will this QB handle it when things go to ****? When he’s not recognizing things fast enough, when his line is being beat constantly, when his receivers are...

There’s plenty of money for both Barmore and Dugger. Did you think Dugger, Onwenu, Henry, Jennings and Uche were the problem last year? The team went 4-13 but that doesn’t mean everyone was bad. When we were winning, we feasted by picking up good players from bad teams who gave up on those...

One of the reasons we’ve been told that Belichick wasn’t as aggressive in signing his own guys is because he wanted the players who craved winning, and sometimes once a player wins they lose their edge. Been there, done that, etc. Well, I guess that really isn’t a problem anymore anyway since...

Here are the parameters as to what a Barmore deal might look like — Derrick Brown, #7 overall from 2020 draft class who was about to play on 5th year option, just signed an extension. Derrick Brown, Panthers agree to four-year extension

Another holdover rule from the pre-salary cap days where player stashing was a real concern. Limiting it to 2 people should squash any real abuse potential. Glad this change was made.

I believe Phillips was cut this offseason. He could be a straight out replacement for him. https://www.patriots.com/news/patriots-release-dt-lawrence-guy-sr-and-s-adrian-phillips#:~:text=FOXBOROUGH%2C%20Mass.,%2D23)%20with%20the%20Patriots.

I didn’t watch the series because I don’t have Apple+ but I did read the book, and it’s a shame because the comments here make it sound like the series was a hatchet job, but I found the book to be phenomenal. Anyway, one thing the book tried to emphasize was that Belichick was hired by Kraft...

But did you see the one-handed catch he made in 2014?!

Obviously would be nice to have a #1 receiver, but looks to be a reasonable #2 guy which is always helpful to have. We had issues with our outside receivers last year so if he can help with that, great.

From Mike Reiss’s column today: On item 2: “As Bill Belichick used to say, the team-building process continues over the course of the year and they still have A LOT of work to do, which is expected to include starting extension talks with promising fourth-year defensive tackle Christian...
