In the meantime, those are the guys we got and I\u2019m glad we got them. So there\u2019s a great amount of competition there and that\u2019s only good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s hard to pick a favorite at this point but the early leader appears to be Thuney, who from all indications in practice looks like it might be his job to lose, especially given how ferocious of a blocker he&#8217;s been and how well he finishes them off. \u00a0Scarnecchia mentioned Mankins and the former lineman&#8217;s\u00a0attitude and intensity was something guys seemed to feed off of, so it would definitely be great to see someone young come in and fill that void.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say that will definitely be a position to keep an eye on in the weeks ahead.<\/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\/2013-Aaron-Dobson-Action-1-600w.jpg\" WIDTH=100%><br \/><font size=-2><strong>Dobson needs a healthy 2016 to remain a Patriot.<\/strong><\/font>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>On\u00a0Dobson, Belichick Cites Health as the Key\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0<\/strong>So far during training camp much has been made about the play of Aaron Dobson, which goes all the way back to some strong performances during the team&#8217;s spring practices.<\/p>\n<p>But this time of year has never been Dobson&#8217;s problem, it&#8217;s been the regular season that has been the issue. \u00a0An injury at the end of his rookie season has started a string of bad luck for the former Marshall standout, and he&#8217;s had two back-to-back seasons full of frustration as other players passed him on the depth chart.<\/p>\n<p>However, so far he&#8217;s really come out fighting about as hard as could have been expected, and he&#8217;s definitely got the size and speed that has been lacking in this offense. \u00a0The only question now appears to be how long he&#8217;ll be able to last, which is a question Bill Belichick also seems to be wondering.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAaron\u2019s had a good spring and a good few days here at training camp. I think we\u2019ve seen that from him before,\u201d coach Bill Belichick said <a href=\"http:\/\/www.providencejournal.com\/sports\/20160802\/for-patriots-dobson-consistency-is-key\/?Start=2\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>via the Providence Journal<\/strong><\/a>. \u201cI\u2019d say Aaron\u2019s just, for whatever reason, hasn\u2019t been able to consistently be on the field and do it. When he\u2019s been out there, he\u2019s looked good a lot, but he hasn\u2019t always been out there for one reason or another. So, hopefully \u2014 I know he\u2019s training hard, looks like he\u2019s in good condition this year \u2014 hopefully he\u2019ll be able to stay on the field and continue to improve.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that\u2019s really the key. It\u2019s not just being healthy, but being healthy to practice and improve and Aaron\u2019s worked hard. He\u2019s made some good catches, so hopefully he keeps climbing in that direction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Butler Wants Long-Term Love<\/strong> &#8211; Malcolm Butler won the hearts and minds of every fan in New England thanks to his heroic last-second interception that sealed the Patriots&#8217; 4th championship, but when it comes to the fans, he wants to be part of their lives even when his football days come to an end.<\/p>\n<p>Watching Kevin Faulk&#8217;s Hall of Fame induction ceremony, Butler got a glimpse of the amount of love and admiration shown for the former player, which also included Ty Law and Mike Haynes, who were among former players at the event.<\/p>\n<p>He got a look at how great careers like those players really established themselves in this region, and Butler admitted it&#8217;s something he&#8217;d like to experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTy\u2019s no longer playing, all these other players are no longer playing, and they come back to the stadium and they get mad recognition, a lot of applause,\u201d \u00a0Butler said\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.enterprisenews.com\/sports\/20160802\/patriots-notebook-butler-striving-for-greatness\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>via the Enterprise News<\/strong><\/a>. \u201cThat\u2019s a great feeling to still have fans like that and you\u2019re no longer playing. It for sure makes you want to work hard and try to be the best you can be and get to that level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In order for that to happen, part of what needs to take place is for the Patriots to somehow get a long-term deal done with Butler to keep him here for the foreseeable future. \u00a0Butler&#8217;s only due to earn a base salary of $600,000 this season, but for now, he&#8217;s focused on the job at hand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is what it is,\u201d Butler said. \u201cI\u2019m just going to come out here and work, contract or not. I\u2019m here for the team.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s a look at this morning&#8217;s top Patriots-related stories for Wednesday
