Patriots: Hunter Henry has been the perfect Patriot so far

December 18, 2021

Photo: Carmen Mandato/Getty Images Hunter Henry might just be one of those perfect Patriots. The free agent tight end had high expectations heaped upon him by the fans coming into this season and rightfully so after New England jumped at the chance to sign him and Jonnu Smith very early on this spring. For the first few weeks once getting healthy his performance was underwhelming. Then, Henry suddenly became Mac…

Photo courtesy of Brian Fluharty-USA TODAY Sports The Patriots have won four in a row and yesterday’s demolition of the Cleveland Browns is proof that they are a legitimate playoff contender in the AFC. It might be a little too early to call them a Super Bowl contender but that could change in the coming weeks if they were to beat Atlanta, Tennessee and Buffalo. It took a while for…

FOXBOROUGH – On a day where there were military members sworn in on the field before the game and a flyover followed the national anthem, the Patriots made sure they put on a show for all those that fight for our freedom.

PHOTO: JUSTIN REX/AP It wasn’t very pretty, but 2-3 looks and sounds a hell of a lot better than 1-4. Mac Jones continued to show is toughness behind a patchwork offensive line who did its job admirably on Sunday and Nick Folk buried a 21-yard field goal with 15 seconds left to give New England a 25-22 win. The defense continued to struggle as Texans rookie quarterback Davis Mills threw…

Patriots fans suffered through the departure of Tom Brady last off season and then sat through a miserable 7-9 season in 2020.

First there was Daniel Graham and Ben Watson. Then, it was Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski. Now, Bill Belichick and the Patriots are hoping to deploy their next great tight end tandem when the season opens Sunday at Gillette Stadium against Miami.

Raise your hand if you thought Devin Asiasi would make a case for regular targets in the offense during the preseason finale against the Giants on Sunday. You’re a liar if you raised your hand. In the 22-20 win over the Giants, Asiasi showed serious flashes as a guy that could be depended on in the passing game, a huge development for whoever is under center when the Dolphins come…

The tight end position has been non-existent in the Patriots offense the past two seasons. It has always been a productive position for the Patriots under Bill Belichick. Especially since 2010 when Belichick drafted Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez in the same draft class. After Gronkowski announced his retirement following the 2018 season, Belichick attempted to replace him by bringing back former Patriot Ben Watson and signing veteran Matt LaCosse….
