Agree with this 100%. He is friendly with the media so they hype him, but Chung does not make many plays against the pass. Why do people think he is good? One big game against Miami a year ago?

I hate to blame a backup, but Connolly was consistently abused yesterday. He is not ready for the speed of the NFL yet. I think our offensive line, unlike the pass rush, has the potential to get better. Fully healthy, it is the same lineup as '07.

Re: Pats Inactives: Welker, Wilhite, Butler, Mayo, BJGE, Simmons, Ohrnberger, P. Burg Is Wilhite a healthy inactive? Wow... but he did have a poor game against the Jets.

I remember hearing that the football team at the Univ. of Miami listen to this song before games to pump them up. It's part of a tradition. Two years ago, Kevin Garnett told WEEI that this was one of his favorite songs and the play it at the Garden all the time now before Celtics games

My favorite Rodney moment was in the 2004 Divisional playoff vs the Colts. We were up 20-3 and the game was out of reach but the Colts still wanted to score on us late in the 4th. Peyton gets the Colts down in our red zone and throws a ball to Marvin - Rodney smoothly slides over and picks the...

Ben Watson got a 41 or something and still can't learn how to catch the ball. The wonderlic is overrated

My problem with Watson is that he never improved. I also see at as a failure of the Patriots scouting department. Watson is a smart guy, a physical specimen but not a football plater. He is always off balance and fights the ball. Did we not see these traits on film prior to the 04 draft? I...

I just can't believe Watson has not improved over the years. I think that Watson's problems are all mental. He fights the ball with his hands, when he does catch the ball he is usually off balance- so he can't use his great speed. Not a football player

I don't hate Ben Watson, but for me he represents a major error in the Patriots scouting department. He has a great wonderlic and all the workout numbers but is not a fluid athlete, has poor hands, does not run good routes, and despite his immense strength, is just an average blocker. Wasn't his...

Re: Lombardi hits The Weekly World News (football edition) in the mouth. I LOVE Mike Lombardi's blog. What a breath of fresh air!

Positives: Ellis Hobbs - his best game yet? Deltha O'Neal- looked good in coverage Ty Warren - dominated Damien Woody Kevin Faulk - every Qb seems to love this guy, excellent punt returns Stephen Gostkowski- really booming the ball, wow. Negatives: Chris Hanson - try to kick...

Mike Lombardi (in his excellent blog) has been talking about Gholston's struggles for weeks. According to Lombardi, Gholston relied too heavily in his great athletic ability in college to dominate lesser opponents. He is lost in coverage and vs. the run. No pass rush moves yet, either.

Re: Pft: Bengals cut willie anderson I wonder how much he has left? A dominating run blocker in his prime. I doubt he'll take the kind of contract the Patriots will offer.

Re: OT: I have a feeling that this is The Cowboys year I agree completely. The only guys on the Cowboys who seem like leaders are Greg Ellis and DeMarcus Ware. Tank Johnson, TO, Pacman? Yuck. They might be good players, but no one on the team or coaching staff has the guts to put these...

Re: Light at practice today O'Callaghan had some games in his rookie season where he was just mauling guys in the run game. I remember him dominating the Jets Shaun Ellis. I think playing Britt at LT this preseason was a test to see if he could backup Light. I like all 3 of our young...
