The Patriots have the best tight end combination in the NFL with Rob Gronkowski and Martellus Bennett. Gronk is the greatest tight end of all time and when it’s all said and done, could be one of the most dominant players of all time. Bennett isn’t in that class but he’s been a good player the last three years. Two years ago, Bennett caught 90 balls. The Patriots have three…
Daily Script for August 1st 2016
1. Tom Brady working with Randy Moss and Wes Welker during his suspension is brilliant. They know the base Patriots offense and they have a timing relationship with Brady. Brilliant move by TB12 organizing the workouts. 2. The Chargers need to get Joey Bosa into camp. The longer he’s out, the more it stunts his growth. Bosa and his agent need to realize this and get back to the table…
Patriots Pulse Blog: Training Camp Talking Points
The Patriots officially opened training camp today. Here are some thoughts as the Patriots officially open the 2016 season. 1. How will the Patriots divide up the quarterback reps? Word is Tom Brady, Jimmy Garoppolo and Jacoby Brissett will get equal reps early in camp. 2. Speaking of reps. Running backs coach Ivan Fears will have his hands full figuring out reps for a crowded backfield. 3. Rob Gronkowski will…
Peyton Manning Being Exonerated Means Nothing to Me
I don’t give a rats ass that Peyton Manning was exonerated by the NFL regarding his alleged use of PED’s. I’ve never bought the story and now that the NFL has concluded he’s innocent of any wrong doing, I feel even better for not believing the terrorist network! I’m not going to waste time speculating that the league and Manning are in cahoots. I’m not wasting any time with the…
The Cleveland Browns Finally Get Good News With the Josh Gordon Reinstatement
The NFL announced yesterday that Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon is going to be reinstated for the 2016 season. Gordon will sit out the first four games but he will return for the Week five match up against the Patriots. It’s great news for a Browns organization that has had a tumultuous off-season. Getting Gordon back gives the Browns the one thing they are lacking right now. A proven…
Sorry Patriots Fans. The NFL Isn’t Screwing Brady Over During His Suspension
On the surface, it appears that Roger Goodell is really putting the screws to Tom Brady and the Patriots. Brady will not be allowed to have any contact with the team while he is serving his four game suspension. Brady will be banished to his Brookline compound until week four. He can’t invite teammates or coaches over to his house to work with him. What ever work he does, he’ll…
Patriots Pulse Training Camp Preview: Wide Receivers
Position Overview: The Patriots could carry as many as six wide receivers going into camp. I know it sounds like a stretch but Bill Belichick is so unpredictable when it comes to the composition of the roster. Julien Edelman, Danny Amendola, Matthew Slater and Chris Hogan are locks in my opinion. The fifth receiver spot is up for grabs and a crowded field is competing for the lone spot. Veterans Nate…
Idiot of the Day: Le’Veon Bell
Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell is facing a four game suspension after failing to show up for a drug test. What is wrong with him? Bell is a terrific talent but injuries and immaturity have kept him from fulfilling his full potential. Bell was scrutinized earlier this off-season for putting out a rap song in which he talked about wanting to be paid $15 million per season. At this rate,…
According to an ESPN Report, the Patriots Have the Least Diverse Coaching Staff in the NFL
The Patriots have the least diverse staff in the NFL according to an ESPN study. Bill Belichick currently employs two African-American coaches on his staff. Belichick was criticized last year for hiring his son Steve to be the safeties coach and just this week, the Patriots hired his son Brian as a scouting assistant. Nepotism is a way of life in the NFL. It’s not a surprise. The sons of…
Dennis Green Was More Than a Coach. He was a Good Man
The NFL coaching community suffered a tremendous loss last night when former Minnesota Vikings and Arizona Cardinals head coach Dennis Green died from cardiac arrest. Green complied a 113-94 record in 13 years as an NFL head coach. In 1998, he led the Vikings to a 15-1 season. Unfortunately for Green, he couldnt get the Vikings to the Super Bowl because the Vikings were upset by the Atlanta Falcons in…
