Mum is the word on Patriots’ linebacker Jerod Mayo’s condition this morning. The closest thing to an update comes from Ian Rapoport of the Boston Herald:
As loud as Gillette Stadium got with 50 seconds to go, it got just as quiet midway through the first quarter. That’s when Jerod Mayo, the reigning defensive rookie of the [...]
Over the past 48 hours, the New England Patriots have been really busy completing contracts for their rookies. They have wrapped up deals with Julian Edelman, Sebastian Vollmer, Brandon Tate, and Darryl Richard.
And now, according to Pro Football Talk, they have signed the 40th overall pick of the draft, nose tackle Ron Brace.
Left unsigned are [...]
I am mystified as to Kevin Faulk being penalized a game for violating the league’s “Substance Abuse Policy”. He got picked up at a Lil’ Wayne concert carrying two marijuana cigars. He never failed a NFL drug test but he is penalized a game? This is ludicrous. I think the NFL substance abuse policy should [...]
I don’t know if I should be worried but Fox Sports is reporting that the Green Bay Packers have agreed to a trade sending Quarterback Brett Favre to the New York Jets for a minimum third round draft pick depending on the Jets’ 2008 record. I know the Patriots are amazing and should have a stranglehold [...]
I’ve been on vacation the past few days so I haven’t really had a chance to update the site. But there are a few moves and things I’d like to talk about quickly.
First, the Patriots placed offensive tackle Anthony Clement on injured reserve. Despite starting every game the last two seasons for the Jets, the 6′8″ [...]
Rodney Harrison, who was not listed on PUP, but did not show up to practice, is actually on the PUP list. Bill Belichick confirmed this during yesterday’s press conference.
Also, to make room on the roster for Jerod Mayo, the Patriots released tackle Lavdrim Bauta. I think he was with the Pats for about the same [...]
The Patriots opened training camp in the Dana Farber Field house yesterday, due to the rain.
The team opened up the morning session with warmups and stretching, and then broke down into positional drills. This is how most of the practice was, except for a little 9 vs 7 and 11 vs 11 team work. [...]
I’m continuing my training camp previews section, and this time, I’m moving onto wide receivers. Here’s a snapshot of what seems to be a competitive position:
Randy Moss
Heading into 2008, Randy Moss is one of the only wide receivers whose role on the team is cemented in. He will be the #1 starting wide receiver, no [...]
So yesterday, I posted my preview for quarterbacks. Interestingly, Patriots.com published their quarterbacks preview the next day. So in an effort to stay ahead of them, I’m posting my running backs preview a day early.
Laurence Maroney
It’s hard to make a great judgement of Maroney at this point in his career. He’s been inconsistent at times, [...]
More Pats Problems after Willie Andrews was arrested last week at his Mansfield apartment following a domestic dispute. On July 1 the Pats released Andrews as the new arrest would be a violation of his probation that was enforced after his post-Superbowl pot arrest. Clearly, there aren’t roster spots available for potential (or actual) felons and, [...]
