Lofty Aspirations for Gronkowski, Hernandez
Written by RandolphCWednesday August 25 2010
As a New England Patriots rookie, ILB Brandon Spikes chose number 55 in honor of two players that wore it before him: LB Junior Seau and DE/LB Willie McGinest. For Spikes, wearing the same number as players he respects inspires him to be great like Seau and McGinest. It might just be coincidence, but the rookie tight ends ...

Last Night Before Pats Training Camp
Written by Darius ButlerWednesday July 28 2010
We report to training camp today at Gillette Stadium, and we’ll be locked away in a hotel so it’s football 24/7. It’s time for the veterans to get back in the groove of things and the rookies to get acclimated to this level. When you love what you do, you look forward to it. So last night I ran some ...

Seems Like Forever
Written by Darius ButlerTuesday July 06 2010
It seems like forever since I last played a game. In college, you have a bowl game in January, and by March you’re already having spring practice. It seems like so long since I played a football game, I really can’t wait until the season starts and I can get back on the field again. The biggest difference this off-season ...

Patriots Offseason Position Spotlight: TE
Written by Mark ZartharFriday May 21 2010
When the Patriots began their quest for a dynasty, the tight end was a focal point of their offense. With a developing Tom Brady and average (at best) wide receivers, it was important to have a big-target, check-down option at all times. The depth chart has included players such as Jermaine Wiggins (a personal favorite), Christian Fauria, Daniel Graham, Ben Watson, ...

Patriots Offseason Position Spotlight: WR
Written by Mark ZartharWednesday May 19 2010
Patriots fans (me included) were perplexed when Belichick and Co. decided to pass on Dez Bryant late in the first round. We needed a deep threat opposite Randy Moss and who better than a freakish athlete like Bryant? Nevertheless, I am growing more excited about the Patriots receiving corps for 2010 and onwards. Don’t forget that Tom Brady has ...

Now introducing...Your starting New England Gators!
Written by George WhetstoneTuesday May 18 2010
It's funny to me how so much is made of High School to College recruiting pipelines. You have your hot bed of southern Florida high schools going to the big 3 - The U, FSU, and UF (now 4 if you consider U SF) . You have your corn fed pipelines in Ohio funneling to Ohio State and other Big 10 'power' teams. ...

Surprised yet?
Written by George WhetstoneTuesday May 18 2010
So, following the off season expedition that is the Adalius Thomas free-agency story - I have to ask a simple question: Are you surprised he's not signed yet? When you think about it - he was an over hyped, under educated guy who talents were shone heavily with that vaunted Ravens defense. Probably one of the bigger free-agency blunders in ...

The Logan Mankins Saga
Written by George WhetstoneTuesday May 18 2010
Amidst all AFC East free-agent acquisitions and blockbuster trades this off season, true football fans remain perplexed on one of the key cogs in the division: The Logan Mankins Saga. Surely, this is not as sexy as signing a Brandon Marshall, an Antonio Cromartie, or even resigning their own Vince Wilfork - but it is equally important. As ...

Dropped the Hint for Holt
Written by RandolphCTuesday April 20 2010
This is an excerpt from Window Shopping, a blog entry from February 16th. In this entry I highlighted two veteran players that I felt would fit for the New England Patriots. One of them was wide receiver Torry Holt, who signed a one-year deal with the Patriots on April 20th: WR Torry Holt – After just one year with ...

My Combine Experience
Written by Darius ButlerFriday March 05 2010
As far as the combine, the year I went, I was pretty prepared for it. I talked to a good friend of mine, Tyvon Branch who plays for the Raiders, who was there the year prior to me going, and he schooled me really well on what to expect and what the surroundings would be. Once I got there ...

Remembering Mosi
Written by RandolphCThursday February 25 2010
It’s been a cold week for NFL runningbacks. After years of service, both San Diego’s LaDanian Tomlinson and Philadelphia’s Brian Westbrook were unceremoniously cut by their respective teams. Tomlinson and Westbrook combined for 18,485 yards rushing and 175 touchdowns on the ground, but were shown no appreciation for years of hard work. But if you think they ...
