Patriots: Shaun Wade is a smart acquisition by Bill Belichick

August 26, 2021

The Patriots acquired rookie cornerback Shaun Wade this afternoon from the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for 2022 seventh round pick and 2023 5th round pick. Wade looked like a first round pick in 2019. He played like an elite level corner with size. Wade decided to return to school in 2020 and the decision proved to be costly. He struggled mightily playing both corner and safety. He especially struggled over…

We all saw this one coming, right? The Patriots were rightful 6.5-point underdogs at home heading into their matchup against Baltimore on Sunday night. The entire country assumed that the Ravens would roll as the Patriots’ transition into mediocrity continues.

The Patriots and Ravens will renew acquaintances this week on Sunday Night Football. The Ravens have long been a thorn in the Patriots side both in the regular season and the post season. A big reason for that of course is John Harbaugh and his coaching staff. Despite turnover at the coordinator positions, Baltimore is well coached. They are tough, physical and fundamentally sound. Harbaugh has two of the best…

X’s and O’s: Different Ways the Ravens Could Use Lamar Jackson On Offense

July 12, 2018

The Baltimore Ravens drafted quarterback Lamar Jackson with the 32nd pick in the first round in this year’s draft. The pick raised eyebrows however because the Ravens already have Joe Flacco at quarterback. Flacco has struggled with consistency the past two seasons but he is still considered a top twenty quarterback in the NFL. Based on that, you would think that Jackson probably won’t play anytime soon. Not true. Ravens…

The Dallas Cowboys released pro bowl wide receiver Dez Bryant yesterday in a move that will save them $8 million dollars in cap space in 2018. Bryant’s release wasn’t a surprise given his lack of production the last three seasons. That along with a shift in philosophy offensively led to the mercurial receiver’s departure in Big D. So, where will Dez be throwing up the X next season? Here are…

Patriots Pulse Blog: Call Me Crazy, But the Patriots Should Try to Sign Eugene Monroe

June 16, 2016

Eugene Monroe would add quality depth to a Patriots offensive line that sorely needs it. The Baltimore Ravens released veteran left tackle Eugene Monroe yesterday. Reports surfaced that the reason the team released Monroe was because of his views on legalizing marijuana. The Ravens also attempted to deal Monroe to the Giants but a deal fell through. I think all of that is a load of crap. They released Monroe…
