The Boys of Late Summer – A Primer
by Scott A. Benson, Senior Foreign Correspondent July 29, 2010 For me, the opening of Patriots training camp is the day when summer finally gets good. The weather gets better (eventually) and suddenly the days fill up with football again. If you don’t get mired in the details, it’s the most pleasant way to ease your way from the last hurrah into the fall. Then again, I don’t work for the Globe. Here... [Read more]
Positional Previews – Running Backs
By Bruce Allen, Patriots Daily Staff The Patriots did not add to their stable of running backs this offseason, choosing to return with the same crew that took the field in the 2009 season. A very veteran group, health and performance is again a concern at this position. Laurence Maroney Patriots Best Hope At Running Back? The enigmatic Maroney enters his fifth NFL season just as much of a mystery... [Read more]
Positional Previews – Tight Ends
By Bruce Allen, Patriots Daily Staff Talk about position turnover. The Patriots motto at tight end this offseason was “Out with 2009, In with 2010.” Gone are last year’s tight ends Benjamin Watson and Chris Baker, and in are veteran Alge Crumpler and rookies Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez. Rob Gronkowski - Can He Stay Healthy? It’s a little difficult, in fact, to analyze... [Read more]
Postional Previews – Wide Receivers
By Bruce Allen, Patriots Daily Staff On the offensive side of the ball, this position might be the most unpredictable. There is talent here, no question about it, but health (of the older receivers) and inexperience (of the younger receivers) make this position a tough one to gauge at this point. Offseason additions include veterans Torry Holt and old friend David Patten, and rookie Taylor Price. Going... [Read more]
Positional Previews – Offensive Line
By Bruce Allen, Patriots Daily Staff Now, the other “big fatties.” Because there are so many of them on the roster right now, we’re going to forgo the individual capsules and instead look at each position on the offensive line. Overall this is still a very strong group, even without Logan Mankins, who may never play for the Patriots again after tossing bombs at the Krafts. The Patriots... [Read more]
Positional Previews – Defensive Line
By Bruce Allen, Patriots Daily Staff The “big fatties” up front are a hallmark of a Bill Belichick 3-4 defense. Last season for the first time since Vince Wilfork was drafted in 2004, the Patriots front three did not start with Wilfork in the middle with Ty Warren and Richard Seymour beside him. Seymour was traded prior to the season opener to the Oakland Raiders. The Patriots plugged in... [Read more]
Positional Previews – Outside Linebackers
By Bruce Allen, Patriots Daily Staff. I’ve been pretty optimistic in the last three previews about the level of young talent on the defense. Now we come to the outside linebacker position, which at this point appears to be the weak link on the defense side of things. Much has been made about the Patriots lack of a pass rush, and at first glance, it doesn’t seem like much was done to address... [Read more]
Postional Previews – Inside Linebackers
By Bruce Allen, Patriots Daily Staff This figures to be one of the most competitive positions in camp, as the Patriots line up candidates to start beside Jerod Mayo. I’m genuinely intrigued by this group, as the team has been trying to find a starting pair in the middle since 2005 when Ted Johnson and Roman Phifer retired. Tedy Bruschi had several partners before Mayo arrived in 2008, then retired... [Read more]
Positional Previews – Safeties
By Bruce Allen, Patriots Daily Staff Between Rodney Harrison and Lawyer Milloy, the Patriots had an intimidating, hard-hitting safety patrolling the secondary and creeping up to the line of scrimmage to help out on the run during every season from 1996 to 2008. Last season, Brandon Meriweather was selected to the Pro Bowl at safety, but is not the hard-hitting type in the style of Milloy and Harrison.... [Read more]
Positional Previews – Cornerbacks
By Bruce Allen, Patriots Daily Staff The cornerback position is one of several positions that has been completely turned over in the last few seasons. 2008 draftees Terrence Wheatley and Jonathan Wilhite are the longest-tenured cornerbacks on the team. The position itself has undergone something of a transformation as well, whereas the speedy, diminutive Ellis Hobbs-type of cornerback seemed to be... [Read more]
Positional Previews – Special Teams
By Bruce Allen, Patriots Daily Staff Yup, training camp is just over two weeks away. We ask it every year, but where the heck does the time go? This will be the first in a series of previews looking at various positional groups and units as we head into camp. Today’s group is special teams. Coach Scott O’Brien O’Brien came over from Denver last season, replacing long time special... [Read more]
Season Preview: Pessimists vs. Optimists
By Dan Zeigarnik, Patriots Daily Staff Jeez is it almost football season? Where did the 2010 offseason go? With the Bruins and Celtics playoff runs, the World Cup and the Olympics, it seems just yesterday that I shelled out $250 for that despicable debauchery of a playoff game against the Ravens. That 33-14 thumping left a bewildered fan base searching for answers. Was this the end of a dynasty? What... [Read more]
