Eleven months ago the Patriots gave up a second pick for Sanu in order to upgrade the talent around Tom Brady. Now Sanu is gone. Despite struggling in camp and rumors circulating that Sanu was in trouble, I didn’t think the Patriots would cut him but alas they did. Sanu told Josina Anderson…

Say what you will about Bill Belichick but he has more oersonality than we give him credit for. I think this commercial is fantastic and it illustrates that Coach Hoodie is more than just a football genius. He actually has a funny side to him. The timing of the commercial is a little odd. By all accounts, marketing executives have been hounding Belichick for years to do commetcials and he…

The Patriots signed former Dolphins and Texans running Lamar Miller yesterday. The Patriots had an available roster spot thanks to last week’s opt outs and they used one of those spots on the veteran Miller. The signing is an indication that the organization might have concerns about the availability of Sony Michel to start the season. Michel had foot surgery this off-season. On paper, Miller is a good fit. He…

Joe Thuney has established himself as one of the elite guards in the league. The Patriots offensive line struggled at times last season with injuries and inconsistency. It showed in the performance of the offense at times and perhaps no player showed that frustration more than former quarterback Tom Brady. Brady is gone now so the onus will be on this unit even more now to protect a new quarterback…

By Kevin Stone/@kstone06 Before heading into this weekend all three Patriots quarterbacks met with the media via Zoom on Friday afternoon.

While Newton didn’t give any national secrets away he was far more engaging on some questions than…
