Bill Belichick is a great coach and there is no other coach in the NFL I'd rather have. I can't stress that enough. One of his greatest strengths is trying to compile a complete roster. He takes special teams more serious than most coaches and over the years the Pats special teams have been...

Maybe it is me and I have a selective memory but I can't remember the last time someone on the Pats not named Gronk made a contested catch. I'm not saying they don't make tough catches because they do. Edelmen's catch against the Broncos when he got drilled was a tough catch but not an example...

How to a) fight for the football or b) draw a pass interference call. Yesterday there were two more examples of what has been a season long trend. When Martin gets call for pushing off, drawing the offense PI all he needed to do is stop, jump and fight for the football. He might not get the PI...

A lot of people are taking some swings a WW by saying good riddance, he's replaceable and (my personal favorite) Brady made him what he is! Why does Brady get all the credit? How about WW is simply a really good freaking football player and he and Brady elevated EACH others' games? Brady is a...

What is the one thing that makes playing defense easier? Pressuring the other teams QB. This is one thing the Pats have be completely unable to do. 2007 Super Bowl. New York Giants 17 vs. New England Patriots 14 Giants get 5 sacks on Brady (-40 yards) while the Pats only get 3 on Manning...

Re: Mvp Mike Vick has been incredible and right now I can say it is a toss up between him and Brady for MVP. The main factor that swings my vote to Brady is the fact the in the 3 complete games Vick was out the Eagles went 2-1. One of the wins was against the 12-2 Falcons. If Brady missed 3...

We all know Borges loves to rip BB and the Pats but sometimes his observation reach new levels of stupidity. In this weeks report card (vs Steelers) he gave the Special Teams a C- grade with the following comment: "Zoltan Mesko’s net punting was only 31.8 yards per attempt. Not what we’re...

Go Back To Leather Helmets - or the one bar punter helmet I'm not even kidding. If these guys had less protection on their heads they would have to stop leading with their heads. I like the game tough and fast...and players should try and 'lay the opponent out' but there is no need to lead with...

Draft Grades: Eagles score a knockout - NFL - CBSSports.com - NFLDraftScout.com After this week-end 'experts' like Pete Prisco will tell us who won and who lost on draft week-end. Prisco is already ripping Denver for trading a talent like Cutler (who is 24-29 as a starter) and drafting a no...

Unless the Pats LOVE someone when they come up to this pick I can see them trading it for (ideally) a 1st rounder next year and a 3rd or 4th this year. Let's face it BB LOVES to get picks in the future draft. I know they already have the Raiders #1 next year but I still think this is possible...

Here is McLaughlin's combine numbers and where he ranked against all LBs (ILBs and OLBs) Mike McLaughlin Boston College Height: 6'0 1/4 Weight: 242 Arm Length: 31 1/2 Hand Length: 9 40 Yard: 4.82 (26th) 225 BP Reps: 29 (4th) Vertical:38.5 (7th) 20 Yrd Shuttle: 4.11 (2nd Tie)...

I, like most of us here love football so much I can watch anything that is connected to it. Watching the combine is great fun. Who runs, jumps and reacts the fastest. Which player you never really heard of pulls a Chris Johnson and makes himself a ton of money by running a god-like 40 time. The...

Mock Draft 2.0: Tebow a Saint? - NFL News - FOX Sports on MSN While I am the first to admit the Pats have a lot of holes to fill on O and D this mock makes no sense to me as it ignores the D completely. First Round 22. New England Patriots—Bruce Campbell, OT, Maryland - 6'7- 310 Second...

Possible draft picks for Arizona Cardinals at No. 26 This was written for the Arizona Cardinals but it's focus is on OLB/DE and as the Pats could be interested in pass rushers like this I think it is an interesting read from a NE fan point of view. Liked to comments on the players.

Unlike Patriots, rival Colts willing to pay the price - BostonHerald.com Unlike Patriots, rival Colts willing to pay the price according to Borges. Colts are awesome. They do it right. Pats suck. You get the picture. Funny how on the same day this story comes out this story also comes out...
