I want to read that Trent, Strange, Onwenu and Sow have a clean bill of health.

Some WR’s back, and some good news on Jon and Marcus Jones would be nice as well.

Really good article. Contains draft scouting reports for Judon, Stevenson, Dugger and Mapu:

Update on the Jones injuries:

A couple games into the season, what does Bill Belichick believe the Patriots offensive identity is?

“Look, that’ll fluctuate a little bit from game to game,” the coach said on Wednesday morning. “(We’ll) do what we think is best each game. Try to score as many points as we can.”

Is there an identity that Belichick would like for the Patriots to have?

“I’d like to score as many points as possible. More than the other team,” Belichick deadpanned. “What do you want to do? Run the ball 50 times? Is that a goal? All right, if you win, great. If you don’t then... so. We’ve won games throwing three passes and we’ve won games throwing 50 passes. So do what you need to do to win.

“You want all your plays to be good plays. Runs, passes, kicks, returns. You want them all to be good. That’s why you call them.”

Man, I hope Jon Jones is ready and at full strength. If he's good, then losing Marcus isn't as critical this week.

If we have Jones, Gonzo & Bryant/Wade, we should be okay for this week. It'll be interesting to see if Gonzo gets the call on Wilson or Lazard because of size. And let Jones & FS bracket Wilson?

Lazard is slow. Duggar or Peppers can handle him. Gonzo on Lazard is a waste of talent.

Anything on K Boutte??

Definitely need Trent back. I wonder if Lowe is a consideration to replace Anderson. Having Sow and Mafi in reserves if Strange continues to stink is good. Jon Jones was sorely missed, would love to get Marcus back too but I think he might be in concussion protocol? It's not clear even though he's listed as "shoulder".

Trent, Strange, Andrews, Onwenu, Sow…. set it and forget it. Let them practice as much as possible this week.

Lots of performance incentives, which is good.
