Christian Gonzalez:

The coaching staff getting pantsed by Mike McCarthy? The Dallas coaching staff ran rings around New England, and sadly, it wasn’t close.

Belichick: “getting recognition like that is probably a good sign that things are going fairly well, but there’s still a lot to work on.”

the Patriots limited the Jets to just 38 yards on 22 carries or a 1.7-yard average. That is dominant stuff there.

It was a great job defensively, especially in the first half,” Belichick said in his post-game press conference.

So, they’ve got a really efficient guy running the offense, solid offensive line, a couple of very explosive skill players.”

Gonzalez had a sack , a TFL, and a stellar pass defensed that stopped an Eagles drive on 4th down it was a very impressive debut. 

“I think long snapping, to me, changed in the mid-80s, and really the key guy in that was [Steve] DeOssie, in my opinion…”

“For me, that’s it: great management, a QB who loves the game, and a great defense.” free agent WR DeAndre Hopkins

It’s hard not to look at the selection of Christian Gonzalez with a fair amount of optimism, especially given some of the recent history when it comes to how much success the New England Patriots have had with an extremely competent cornerback lining up on the outside.

There was a lot of talk after this weekend about the team not landing an impact player on offense in the early rounds of this weekend’s NFL Draft, but the selection in round one of Christian Gonzalez may end up being a massive key to New England’s success mov

Boutte is one of the more intriguing guys in the Patriots’ draft, I can’t wait to see if he can recapture his high level of play.
