    DRAFT Pick 159, Patriots Select K Justin Rohrwasser

    I live in Huntington, WV, home of Marshall Univ. I called the Pats drafting this kid (I said 4th round) on his twitter. Not sure why he wasn't rated more highly. I don't know all the history of the 3%rs, but their professed ideology is not racist. I'm sure, like many other groups, some of...

    What makes an elite defense? Stars vs Depth

    One interesting thing about the last few years is few people seem to consider anyone off the Pats but Brady and Gronk to be HOFers. When Andrews, Thuney, Mason, Edelman, Hightower, McCourty, Gilmore, and Van Noy all retire with a fistful of rings and another SB appearance, several of those guys...

    Lots Of Decisions To Make This Week

    Remember when we thought we needed Harry to have a very good year? This team is sooooooo stacked. Not only are the starters great, but the back-ups are guys that could start for a lot of teams. And outside of a handful, (Brady, Bennett, Ghost, Chung, McCourtys), it's pretty damn young. Look...

    Uh-oh. Looks like the NFL is seriously considering the 18/16 concept

    If I ran the NFLPA, I'd agree to it with a bigger piece of the pie and bigger rosters and practice squads. And I'd insist that instead of 16, let's just let everyone play 14. Or 12. But still be paid for 16. And it would be awesome for the Pats. They have a solid backup QB, a deep roster...

    Tom and Peyton

    We can all agree that Brady is the GOAT and Peyton is a ****. I imagine Brady asked Peyton to take a pic together for the fans or whatever, but was thinking “Jules has gotta see this f’n clown costume”.

    Ben Watson Suspended 4 games to Start the Season

    I may be wrong, but my understanding of the NFL’s testing for teatosterone is that it only flags very significantly elevated testosterone. Typically, someone prescribed testosterone for homone replacement therapy would only be given enough to return to a normal level. A 22 yo elite male athlete...

    Patriots sign German TE/FB

    Rocky 4, Red Dawn, and Top Gun are really the Holy Trinity of Cold War propaganda. Er, cinema.

    GOAT DTs

    I think it's interesting that a lot of these guys are "undersized". Randle, Donald, Sapp never dominated bc of their massive size. And they're largely 4-3 DTs. The 3-4 DL don't seem to get the stats or recognition. Two monster dudes that didn't put up numbers but that always impressed me when...

    Best Defensive Coaching Ever? (merged)

    Whitworth said the Pats were in basically a "6-2" most of the game. Which is basically a youth league goal line defense, not an NFL defense. "They played six on the line all day, which kind of limited the space to get the runs in there," Rams left tackle Andrew Whitworth said. "They played an...

    Jete game will be c-c-c-c-cold!

    Under Armour Cold Gear 4.0 as a base layer. I've skied in the 2.0 and been uncomfortably hot in pretty cold coditions. I cannot imagine how warm 4.0 must be.

    The Patriots Offensive System: Erhardt-Perkins

    I think the 5yos among us might still be unclear as to why/how "73" tells the 5 offensive lineman that they need to block for Brady without any additional help. What does the "7" mean? What does the "3" mean"? I was a lineman in high school in an offense that, for it's time, was relatively...

    Owners including Kraft must turn over all cell phone records

    Parties in civil cases can require the production of all sorts of documents. One can refuse to produce what is requested, claiming the request is unreasonable for some reason (overly broad, unduly burdensome, not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of relevant evidence...) , then the...

    Who should the Pats have signed?

    Pretty amazing that even with the advantage of hingsight, we're coming up with very few names, and even fewer where there's more or less agreement. (Sanders and Hicks?) Personally, I think Talib's a stud, but he's the exact sort of guy we don't give a long term deal. And I'm still glad we didn't...

    Patriots brought in someone to teach them about millenials

    I have two nephews that are millennials and not afraid of hard work. But they've both been spoiled so much they think iPhones, high end laptops, cars, housing, international vacations, season tickets and the like are guaranteed by the Constitution.

    Who should the Pats have signed?

    Pryor and Emmanuel Sanders immediately come to mind. If you eliminate all the big $ deals and consider the strength of our roster, I can't think of too many we missed out on that we shouldn't have.

    Jet sweeps - the new wrinkle in our offense?

    I don't think that's right. I don't recall many direct snaps to a receiver in motion. I believe the "jet sweep" is when the receiver getting the handoff is in motion before the play starts. An "end around" is one where the receiver is not in motion before the play starts. I could be wrong...

    On what unit has Brnach gotten 24 special teams snaps? Punt return?

    Poll: Who takes Edelman's spot on the roster?

    Wait, he's retired? Straight joke, homie. Mostly.

    Poll: Who takes Edelman's spot on the roster?

    I am truly saddened that we have reached the point where not a single person has mentioned Randy Gene Moss. I'd bet my house, my savings, and my wife he could run a faster 40 than Austin Carr right now.

    3-3-5 Nickel Base

    This is the presumption I've been making when I try to figure out the 2 deep depth chart on defense and the 53. "Starting" nickel could be Rowe or Harmon (heavy nickel). It makes our shortage at DE seem much less urgent when viewed this way and makes me wonder if we shouldn't be carrying one...
