Impressive. Didn't realize he had such a good year in that respect. As a rookie no less. The ratings don't get much higher than that. No wonder he started every game. I do wonder what his run blocking grade was, however. I'll see if I (or someone here maybe:)) can find it and post. Anyway...

I love this stuff. Can't get enough of tidbits like this. Not talking heads conjecture, but direct quotes and thoughts from coaches, players, gms, those in the know, so to speak - and their first hand accounts of those oh so rare glimpses into the inner workings of the Patriots coaching staff...

2nd NE Pick The Patriots then followed up on Rivers by selecting Troy tackle Antonio Garcia at No. 85, after trading Nos. 96 and 124 to Detroit to move up. Some interesting tidbits: Antonio Garcia Troy OT • r/NFL_Draft Moves his feet very quickly. Great Great hand usage. Has a nice snap down...

What does everyone think? Might be hung jury. Remember NE has about 3M in cap room riding on this. Facts of the case: No verdict in ex-NFL star's murder trial after 3rd day

Interesting article I just ran across, a bit disjointed, but something new to talk about at least. The gist of the article is that BB/NE's culture of team before self, A.K.A "do your job", is directly related to the sustained run of NFL dominance and sports excellence in general. Article: GATA...

Explain Rule change. #8 - Makes actions to conserve time illegal after the two-minute warning What the heck does that mean? Can't find it anywhere described on the web. Definitions and examples anyone?

Most assume such a haul would improve NE in other areas and more than offset any downside of relying on JB instead of the more polished JG were TB to get hurt, and a backup was needed for a solid NE team for the playoffs or SB. Sounds good on paper. But I was just thinking, how much impact does...

blah blah

I seem to recall Solder was hurt and slow to recover after a play in the AFC Championship game. Does anyone remember the/any play Solder looked like he got hurt in the game? I recall thinking, oh no, not f'n Solder. But then he seemed to shake it off. Maybe it was worse than it looked. But he...

Feel free to list all 5. But I think it's a 3 Horse race. For me it's pretty simple: #1 ATL Much tougher between these next two, but I go with #2 RAMS #3 SEA But it's really close. SEA was more exciting back and forth football & ending obviously. The RAMS victory and game was surreal -and a...

Wasn't he active last game? Not a fan of the move. Hopes he makes PS. Maybe he's dinged up. That would make more sense.

Last week I was psyched we had this kid from nowhere for amazing LB depth. Well... what a difference a week makes, is all i can say i guess. Here's cumulative PFF week 7 grades for NE linebackers. Collins overall a 90. But Roberts -a 8g rookie- a very respectable 82! I'd bet Collins was not...

Older, wiser Gronk: 'When the journey is over... you need to get down' I agree! Except for the PAT, every time he gets injured/crushed it's that last 10% of the 110%. Save it for the playoffs! Even then, if you can, save it for the SB!... err, late in the fourth.

Despite the hype, anyone thinking NE plays O cautiously for TB gm #1? I'm inclined to think BB call plays a bit more cautiously tomorrow than most believe for TB's first game. His first live action in months, and regular season action in almost 9(?) months. It might disappoint us fans, looking...

Was bored so checked in on our old friend Chandler Jones at ARZ, hoping he had sucked balls... But alas, damn! Arizona Cardinals @ San Francisco 49ers 1. Cardinals OLB Chandler Jones has recorded 21 QB pressures this season, second-most among 3-4 outside linebackers. So far this season, the...

Just saw the Fox NFL is back promo, with a bunch of NFL players dancing to the 'I'm so excited' song one after the other, then cuts to a slow pan on a closeup of an 'excited' Belichick face (that is, BB looking neither happy nor excited) right in the middle, back to more players dancing...

As NE keeps snatching up imperfect, yet versatile OL, we keep hearing that competition for the starting 5 is going to be fierce. But today I thought, wouldn't it be more Belichickean for NE to roll out a newly minted top secret form of OL platoon or rotation and instead unleash THAT type of...

Not hearing too much about this. Against common wisdom, I think IND's mostly overlooked extra 3 day's rest will keep this game tighter than anticipated. Both from a pure physical restfulness and the mercurial game preparation standpoint it's a pretty big advantage for a team with extra days off...

I've never seen it before. Pretty cool. Password: hoodie https://vimeo.com/142000855
