Contrary to public opinion, the New England Patriots aren’t very good on the defensive side of the ball. Lately, they’ve been weak in the secondary and don’t have a great pass rush. Now, things have gotten worse. The Patriots have sent their top cornerback Leigh Bodden to injured reserve. That’s huge. He has a torn [...]

Good news and bad news for the St. Louis Rams. Actually there are two pieces of good news for the Rams. The first piece of good news is that they even have a piece of good news. And that good news is that rookie QB Sam Bradford actually looked pretty sharp against the New England. [...]
Patriots extend kicker Stephen Gostkowski
Posted in NFL, Resigned, Transactions on Aug 26th, 2010
There’s probably nobody that can kick the football on the Patriots better than Stephen Gostkowski. For that, New England has decided to honor his abilities by extending his contract. The deal is worth $14 million over four years with $5 million guaranteed. This deal moves Gostkowski up on most fantasy draft boards, possibly moving all [...]
As it was, Torry Holt was going to have a very difficult time making the New England Patriots roster this year. At 34-years old, he just can’t separate from defenders like he used to. In addition to that, he was being outplayed in training camp by guys like Brandon Tate and Taylor Price. Despite not [...]
As it is, New England Patriots QB Tom Brady has had to work to get his confidence back in the pocket following his 2008 ACL injury. People can say “oh he’s fine” and whatever and blah blah woof woof, but the reality is that someone came through the line and collapsed his knee. Say what [...]
Steve Grogan has nothing nice to say about Jack Tatum
Posted in NFL on Jul 29th, 2010
In a preseason game in August of 1978, New England Patriots WR Darryl Stingley was paralyzed from the neck down when Oakland Raiders safety Jack Tatum popped him across the middle of the field. Stingley, who died in 2007, would spend the rest of this life in a wheelchair. Steve Grogan is the Patriots QB [...]

Posted in NFL on Jun 14th, 2010
We’ve already heard that New England Patriots guard Logan Mankins is not happy with the team in any way, shape or form. But a league source tells Albert Breer of the Boston Globe that there was a pretty serious offer on the table for “a significant period of time.” The source said that the deal [...]

Posted in NFL on Jun 14th, 2010
New England Patriots guard Logan Mankins isn’t happy. Just like many of the players who should be unrestricted free agents (but are restricted due to the CBA rules for the final year of this agreements), he wants a long-term deal but is stuck with his tender offer. Now, he says that he won’t sign his [...]

Patriots release Adalius
Posted in NFL, Released, Transactions on Apr 26th, 2010
Finally, someone has ended this awful experiment. The New England Patriots have released outside linebacking disappointment Adalius Thomas, according to Mike Reiss and Adam Schefter of ESPN. Thomas arrived in New England with much ballyhoo in 2007, but never lived up to expectations. He was just around 30-years old when the Patriots signed him and [...]

Seahawks add Baker
Posted in NFL, Signings, Transactions on Mar 13th, 2010
The mass exodus of New England Patriots tight ends continues. After losing Ben Watson to the Cleveland Browns, the Patriots have now watched Chris Baker sign a two-year deal with the Seattle Seahawks. We doubt that anyone from the Patriots organization was actually on hand to actually witness the signing, that’s just the way we [...]

Posted in NFL, Signings, Transactions on Mar 12th, 2010
Former New England Patriots tight end Ben Watson has completely lost the spirit of winning. Earlier today, the former first-round draft pick signed a three-year, $12 million deal ($6.35 million guaranteed) with the Cleveland Browns. PHOTO CAPTION: Ben Watson signals for the alley oop dunk Clearly, Watson’s decision was made easier when the Browns acquired [...]

Posted in NFL on Mar 6th, 2010
The Baltimore Ravens and wide receiver Derrick Mason were not able to agree on a two-year deal before free agency started on Friday.
