Yeah, he's way past his prime. So was Junior Seau, but he shored up a weakness a year ago. Wheatley and Willhite show a lot of promise, but are they ready for prime time in Wk1? Not even Ty was ready to be a starter Wk 1 way back when. Either was Assante. Sign Ty as a 1-yr bridge to get the...

Today's Herald shows yet again that Callahan is nothing but a jerk. http://falcon.heraldinteractive.com/sports/football/patriots/view.bg?articleid=1066602 When he says stuff like "This is such a lopsided matchup that Tom Brady [stats] is thinking of spending a couple of days in Mexico...

Anyone know the lay of the land for tailgating in NJ? I heard that it's limited due to new construction. I'll be down there, looking for all you Pats fans in the parking lot. Based on all the tickets for sale on the various resale web sites, we should be well represented, because Giants fans...

Zabransky was awesome in that game. In the NFL, I'll take Palmer.

OK, so we've got time to kill until the next pick. Who do you like? Here's a few names: RB Irons, Hunt LB DeOssie, Durant, Abbate, Nicholas CB Hughes, Wilson S Piscitelli, Wendling Others???

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-seahawks-grant&prov=ap&type=lgns Nice pickup for the Seahawks. Should be a blow to a good Jags defense.

For the second week in a row, both against teams that have shown they can't stop the run, the Pats came out with a "balanced" game plan that featured spread formations and far too many passing plays. Today it was 25 runs, 37 passes. And that doesn't even count the sacks. My game plan would have...

Patriots.com is only posting the practice schedule 4 days in advance. Does anyone know how long they'll continue to have practice open to the public? I was planning on going tomorrow, but since that's been cancelled, it looks like TC will be weekdays only from now on. I'll have to play hooky...

It's become popular of late on this board to bash the Herald's John Tomase. Although I never quite agreed with the criticism of him, we're all entitled to our opinions. So it's interesting to see his blog today, with an anecdote that reminds us why we need to sign Deion Branch. Tomase deserves...

While we wait for real football to watch, I've been watching a bit of the World Cup, which I call Pansy Football. Isn't it sickening to see these fakers moaning and writhing on the ground because they got tripped? Or worse yet, they take a dive and then act like they were mugged? Can you...

Tom Casale writes in Patriots Football Weekly: http://www.patriots.com/news/index.cfm?ac=latestnewsdetail&pid=19560&pcid=41 “· Expect the Patriots to possibly bring in a veteran quarterback in the near future. Brady is Brady and Matt Cassel looked good but there was a big drop-off after...

OK, it's still 6 weeks until training camp, so it's way too early to panic, but I have to say I was surprised at all the players whoi skipped minicamp due to injuries. It's been 5 months since the last playoff game, and Reiss's blog reported the following people missed all or part of minicamp...

Now that we have an opening, let's look at who's out there. Slim pickings of mostly re-treads. Here's a sampling.... Derek Abney Grant Adams (for you BC fans) Kevin Dyson Jamin Elliott Antonio Freeman Oronde Gadsden Az-Zahir Hakim Kevin Johnson Freddie Mitchell (please, no!!!) Ricky...

Since we’re in the “dead periodâ€, let’s take a look back. Belichick/Pioli seem to have a checkered draft history in Rounds 4/5. Of course, the entire draft is a crap shoot, but the Pats have not done well in assessing the draft at the end of day 1 and waking up on day 2 to grab talent in...

Last week there was a thread bashing John Tomase at the Herald for being negative. I disagreed with the premise. Thursday's Tomase FULL PAGE story on Troy Brown, in addition to being a well-written piece, provides an interesting contrast to the lack of Pats coverage at the Globe. Posters on...

Best site I've seen for tracking where all the UDFA's went: http://www.gbnreport.com/Undraftedscoreboard.html Interesting to see that no one has picked up two of the highly touted kickers, Scifres from SW Mo St and Hughes from Virginia.

Hi gang. I've been a long time reader of this board, but never felt the urge to post. You folks are a great source of Pats news. With all the post-draft talk and analysis, I felt it was finally time to jump in with my first post. Why? I can't believe everyone is giving the Jets high marks for...
