February 17, 2018

Could Washington State’s Luke Falk be the heir apparent to Tom Brady? 1.Improve the Pass Rush: Getting defensive end Derek Rivers back will help.

Josh McDaniels did the right thing staying in New England. I know the narrative both locally and nationally is that McDaniels is a snake but that is unfair label because those that know McDaniels and work with him closely have nothing but good things to say about him.
