Right now all we can really do is focus on ourselves,\u201d Ajayi told NFL Network this week <a href=\"http:\/\/mia.247sports.com\/Bolt\/Ajayi-Dolphins-must-end-Patriots-dominance-46208355\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>via 247 Sports<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[We\u2019re] working each day to have a season to do that and so that\u2019s basically going to be coming in everyday to work and learning this offense and just preparing ourselves for when we get into conference play. We have to do better than we did in the past. Obviously it hasn\u2019t been good enough because we haven\u2019t made the playoffs and won our division, so those are definitely goals that we have to achieve but right now we are going to be focusing on just the day to day until we get to those points in the season.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Dolphins are experiencing change this season after Lamar Miller departed to Houston over the offseason, which should give Ajayi more of an opportunity in Miami&#8217;s backfield. \u00a0Miller had limited success against New England last season, carrying 9 times for 15 yards and a touchdown for Miami&#8217;s only points during the Dolphins 36-7 loss in their first meeting, while carrying 19 times for 60 yards in Miami&#8217;s 20-10 win that cost\u00a0the Patriots the top playoff seed.<\/p>\n<p>Ajayi missed the first meeting while on injured reserve with a designation to return, and carried seven times for just two yards in the second match-up. \u00a0Overall he finished the season second in rushing for the Dolphins with 49 carries for 187-yards (3.8avg) and a touchdown.<\/p>\n<p>Now the question will be whether or not Ajayi is able to take the next step as it appears he could be a player to keep an eye on when New England faces off against them later this season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ninkovich Not Talking About &#8216;Stupid&#8217; DeflateGate &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong>It&#8217;s been nearly two years since the 2014 season, and yet Rob Ninkovich&#8217;s teammate, Tom Brady, is still battling Roger Goodell and the NFL as he looks to avoid being suspended for the ongoing DeflateGate saga.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a cloud that continues to hang over all of their heads as they still don&#8217;t yet know if Brady will be out on the field for Week 1, but Ninkovich told WEEI on Tuesday that it&#8217;s not something he&#8217;s focused on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHonestly, no, we don\u2019t talk about it,\u201d Ninkovich said Tuesday <a href=\"http:\/\/nesn.com\/2016\/07\/patriots-rob-ninkovich-has-no-time-for-stupid-deflategate-chatter\/\"><strong>via NESN<\/strong><\/a>. \u201cIt was last year \u2014 what was it? Two years ago? How long ago was it? It\u2019s something that you can\u2019t really think about, talk about because it\u2019s not going to help you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ninkovich admitted that the fact it&#8217;s gone on as long as it has is ridiculous,\u00a0which certainly\u00a0reflects the feeling of most fans throughout the region. \u00a0When the season starts, regardless of who is quarterback, Ninkovich&#8217;s job won&#8217;t change and for now the veteran said that he&#8217;s not worried about it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cReally for me, I\u2019m not a quarterback, I\u2019m not a receiver. I don\u2019t know,\u201d said Ninkovich. \u201cThe whole thing is just stupid. There are a lot of things going on that shouldn\u2019t last for two years, three years, four years, I don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><TABLE WIDTH=100% CELLPADDING=10 CELLSPACING=0 BORDER=0 ><\/p>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<IMG SRC=\"http:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/images\/us-presswire\/600w\/2012-Week-11-Wes-Welker-TD-600w.jpg\" WIDTH=100%><br \/><font size=-2><strong>Welker still regrets the catch he didn&#8217;t make in the Super Bowl. (USA TODAY Images)<\/strong><\/font>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>Welker still thinks about Super Bowl drop<\/strong> &#8211; Former Patriots receiver Wes Welker put up some impressive numbers during his tenure in New England, but the fact he left the team without a ring is something that still stings.<\/p>\n<p>Welker, who admitted he hasn&#8217;t spoken to Bill Belichick since leaving for Denver in 2013, still thinks about the pass he couldn&#8217;t quite haul in when, with his team leading by three points, he made a leaping attempt as he twisted in the air with his arms outstretched in closing minutes of the Super Bowl during their 2011 postseason\u00a0run. \u00a0The veteran wasn&#8217;t able to hold onto the football, which would have potentially allowed New England to deliver the knock out blow while also running out the clock against the Giants . \u00a0Instead, New York had time to eventually come from behind and pull off the upset, costing the Patriots what would have been their potential fourth championship.<\/p>\n<p>The former receiver caught a lot of grief after the game and there are still plenty of people who hold him responsible. \u00a0Welker himself admitted that it&#8217;s something that still bothers him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor sure,\u201d Welker told Tom Curran of CSN New England <a href=\"http:\/\/profootballtalk.nbcsports.com\/2016\/07\/12\/welker-still-considers-fateful-moment-in-super-bowl-xlvi-a-drop\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>via ProFootballTalk.com<\/strong><\/a>. \u201cIf it hits your hands, you\u2019re supposed to catch it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Welker didn&#8217;t and the thought of\u00a0how that missed opportunity cost them is something that will always stay with him. \u00a0He eventually left for Denver after the 2013 season and went back to the Super Bowl that season\u00a0after\u00a0joining the Broncos,\u00a0but came up short and drew the ire of Belichick when Welker collided with then-Patriots CB Aqib Talib in the AFC Championship game, knocking Talib from the contest.<\/p>\n<p>Welker signed with the Rams last season in November, but wasn&#8217;t much of a factor and at this point he&#8217;s without a team. \u00a0He admitted he&#8217;s not quite where he needs to be ready to play, but if a team called, Welker said he&#8217;d be able to get back to where he needed to be.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wouldn\u2019t say extremely football fit right now,\u201d he said <a href=\"http:\/\/espn.go.com\/blog\/nfl\/rumors\/post\/_\/id\/30270\/nfl-rumor-central-wes-welker-says-there-is-a-slight-chance-he-returns\"><strong>during a Sirius XM Radio interview<\/strong><\/a>. \u201cBut I\u2019m in shape enough where, if I had two to three weeks to get ready, then I think I could be ready.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coleman Confident Heading into 2016 &#8211;<\/strong> Patriots defensive back Justin Coleman had a pretty strong showing last season, emerging as a valuable contributor in New England&#8217;s secondary in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>As we&#8217;ve seen in New England, it&#8217;s tough for players in this defense to put together two strong back-to-back seasons, and Coleman admitted on Tuesday that part of what he&#8217;s going to need to do is put last year behind him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a new year,&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.csnne.com\/new-england-patriots\/patriots-cb-coleman-putting-rookie-rise-depth-chart-behind-him\"><strong>he said via CSNNE<\/strong> <\/a>while helping out during\u00a0a\u00a0Football Camp at UMass Lowell on Tuesday. &#8220;It&#8217;s a new year, new season. You have to forget about what happened last year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Coleman finished the year with 21 tackles including one for a loss and 5 passes defensed as well as a fumble recovery. \u00a0He also racked up 7 tackles, a quarterback hit, and 2 passes defensed in the postseason.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Last year doesn&#8217;t really matter,&#8221; said Coleman. \u00a0&#8220;It gave some coaches confidence that I can help them, but overall, you&#8217;ve got other players that are pretty good [on the roster], and things change. Players get better. Players get worse. But it gives me another opportunity to show what I can do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully he can build on last season, which should be good news for a secondary that improved quite a bit thanks to his contributions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Clayton: Collins Future in New England More Certain than Hightower &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong>ESPN&#8217;s John Clayton gave his thoughts and predictions on the upcoming season and believes the Patriots may have a better shot at keeping Jamie Collins around as they try and lock up key players, including teammate Dont&#8217;a Hightower.<\/p>\n<p>However, Clayton thinks that Hightower&#8217;s future might be the more uncertain of the two, and that could see the veteran linebacker get dealt if a deal can&#8217;t be done.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Jamie Collins will be the one defensive player Bill Belichick keeps,&#8221; Clayton wrote <a href=\"http:\/\/espn.go.com\/nfl\/insider\/story\/_\/id\/16993757\/john-clayton-crystal-ball-30-nfl-projections-predictions-next-three-years\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>in a piece on ESPN Insider<\/strong><\/a>. \u00a0&#8220;The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\" title=\"New England Patriots at PatsFans.com\"><strong>New England Patriots<\/strong><\/a> faced tough decisions with Collins, Dont&#8217;a Hightower and Chandler Jones eventually commanding big contract extensions. Jones was traded to the Arizona Cardinals. Hightower could be shipped out too. Collins is one of the league&#8217;s best coverage linebackers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Patriots have a tough challenge as they try and get deals done to hopefully keep both players around, having already dealt Chandler Jones this offseason to try and ensure that happens. \u00a0Both players are in the final year of their rookie contracts,\u00a0leaving\u00a0the Patriots\u00a0with\u00a0some difficult decisions to make as they try to keep them in the fold for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s a look at this morning&#8217;s Patriots-related
