Ninko - big loss. The Giants and Pats took DEs from Youngstown state. Very telling. Watch Rivers.
Sheard - in and out of the BB dog house. Replaceable.
Blount - Pats have switched gears with Burkhead and Gillislie. You dont pay Burkhead the highest contract since Fred Taylor to sit on the bench. The NE offense will be different.
Fred Taylor sat on the bench.
I know Hightower and McClellin can both take reps there, but neither are proven DE's in the NFL.
THIS ^ X 100. Just ****ing stay relatively healthy. This team has a chance to be great. That's the only thing that can hurt this team. Not worried about anything else.Gronk.
STAY HEALTHY!
Biggest concern: Not knowing whether to clinch a playoff berth in week 9 or wait until week 10 to appease the other teams' feelings.
Long had 10% more snaps/game active last year than any other Pats' DE.
Injuries--always pretty much the only concern.
