Thanks to Ian for allowing us a little self-promotion, as Erik and I are excited to announce that Mike Reiss will be joining our podcast this Sunday. There are many great, insightful fans here so we wanted to open the door to any questions you'd love to hear Reiss' take on. Please post them...

Kirwan's book was a really informative read. Highly recommend it... here's an excerpt that I transcribed on the blog... Continued here...

Everybody back on the bandwagon. Any chance he dresses and has a pass rush attempt this weekend? Personally I've always thought he's a physical freak (don't knock the calves) with exceptional speed. We'll see if he does anything, but I'm excited by the prospect of another young pass rusher.

I was rewatching some of the early games from 2009 and I never remember the unique 4-3 defense the Pats ran coming up for discussion. I had asked the guys at Smart Football about it... here was what they had said. The 4-3 they appeared to want to run was a little different than usual 4-3s in...

Via Real Patriots Twitter: @realpatriots We'll be wearing RED again this year, but different than last year's RT @PatsPropaganda: r u unveiling new alternate jerseys this year?

Wes Welker Good news if true, though I wonder how this info could possibly get out. I don't think you can really judge this offense from a game where Welker didn't play. He's a first down machine.

HERANA-DAZE JONES. Who? Per RealPatriots twitter page...

I think he'd be worth a look, better schematic fit than Paris Lennon (though not sure if he can help on STs), and has the size we've missed since Ted J. I mean, not out of the question he could take Bruschi's job as 2 down run stuffer (as much as I love Tedy)...

I've been wondering for a while now what makes certain players better fits for various positions within the Patriots system? What I've gathered myself in my years of listening to Chris Collinsworth and other faux football authorities... WILB vs. SILB SILB, called Jack, must take on guard...

Didn't see this posted anywhere, from Reiss' Mailbag today: I was kinda of surprised to see this as I it seemed to be assumed that he was going to hang them up. Does anyone know what the recovery time on a torn quad is? Assuming that is what he had? I tend to think BB would bring him...

I spent my bye weekend putting this special tribute together for Brady, please check it out.

President Bush and Giants QB Eli Manning had a private sit down in the Oval Office yesterday and I managed to get the transcript. W – E-dog, I just want to welcome you to the White House and congratulate you on a successful season. Your pass rushing defense strategery clearly paid off...

http://yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/Visiting_the_Pats_and_meeting_Coach_Belichick/241966 Glad to hear the thing about keeping the noise in the stadium though I wonder how the mall is going to do that. Must be where all the extra $$ for tickets is going. On an semi-unrelated note... after...

Here are the approximate times the Pats will be picking next weekend for all those who don't have all weekend to sit in front of the TV. I took into account the new times allowed per pick. I realize that this is extremely rough since a) most teams don't use the fully allotted time and b) trades...

Per Reiss: http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/reiss_pieces/2008/02/bruschi_set_to.html EDIT: Per Clayton it's a multi-year deal: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3269778

I just finished putting together a page on my blog of all the guys most mock drafts have the Pats taking, with pictures and links to their NFL.com profiles. I'd love any feedback you guys have, any other useful information I could link to on there. Wanted to make a one-stop location to see how...

http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/articles/2008/02/19/source_hobbs_played_super_bowl_with_torn_labrum/ Say what you will about Ellis but no one can question his toughness...

I think most would agree we need a young defensive playmaker. Most mock drafts have us taking either an OLB or a CB. So I ask what do you prefer - a Dangel Hall/Cromartie type corner? Or a Shaun Meriman type OLB? (I'm talking dream scenario of course where the guy comes in and starts)...

Some interesting stuff in here, though I am not sure I agree Gay is ready to start. He scares me even as a nickelback. I'm still in the camp that Asante is as good as gone, though I think he'll be only average wherever he ends up...

Anyone watching this right now? Green's in the middle of his heartfelt speech and suddenly it sounds like someone is on speaker phone with him. The person said "Hello?" and Green paused and responded "hello?". It totally put a damper on a very emotional moment for him. I feel bad for him. The...
