Patriots: Mankins, Vrabel and Wilfork are your Patriots Hall of Fame Finalists

April 20, 2022

Three staples of the Patriots Dynasty are the three finalists to be inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame this summer. Linebacker Mike Vrabel, guard Logan Mankins and nose tackle Vince Wilfork were the three finalists announced yesterday. While I am happy for these three gentleman and I think they are deserving based on the careers they had, I am bothered that Bill Parcells once again did not make it…

Patriots Draft: The Patriots trading down would make a lot of sense

April 18, 2022

Trade down. The two words Patriots fans despise this time of year. I get it. It is sexier and more fun if Bill Belichick trades up. He has done it 28 times, far more than any Patriots fan probably ever thought he has. He has also traded down 28 times. The Patriots currently have eight picks in this draft. Four of those picks are in the fifth and sixth rounds…….

Patriots Draft: Parker trade may force the Patriots to trade down

The trade of DeVante Parker from the Dolphins to the Patriots sent shockwaves around the NFL and New England. The Patriots got an established receiver in his prime along with a fifth round pick in exchange for a 2023 third round pick. The pick the Patriots gave up for Parker is negligible in essence because the team will receive a compensatory pick for J.C Jackson next year. The only difference……

Patriots: What DeVante Parker Brings to New England

Over the weekend, the Patriots traded a third-round draft pick in the 2023 draft to the Miami Dolphins for a 2022 fifth-round pick and wide receiver DeVante Parker. If Parker stays healthy, this will end up being a great trade for the Patriots. In Parker, they are getting a big-bodied receiver that can win against man coverage and make contested catches. The sting of giving up a third-round pick will…

Peppers went 25th overall to the Cleveland Browns in the first round of the 2017 Draft. At 5-11 215, Peppers is a dynamic athlete who can play all three downs and on all three levels. His versatility is exactly what Bill Belichick has been looking in a…

Patriots: Breaking down Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft’s comments at the league meetings

March 30, 2022

Images courtesy of Patriots.com Both Bill Belichick and owner Robert Kraft spoke at the league over the course of the past two days. As usual, Belichick was cryptic and did not fully answer the questions that were asked if him. Kraft on the other hand was much more candid and honest. Trying to decipher what Belichick is saying can be hard half the time but we have been around him…

Patriots: Patriots need a 2022 rebound from Jonnu Smith

March 29, 2022

0 comment

(AP Photo/Steven Senne) The Patriots have been mostly quiet during this offseason after making several big splashes to begin free agency last year. One of the theories behind this is that several players signed last year will make a second year “jump” and become larger contributors than they were in 2021. The player who most badly needs to make that jump is tight end Jonnu Smith and if he can,…

Butler’s tenure in New England ended under controversial circumstances after he was benched by Bill Belichick in Super Bowl LII. He only played one play. To this day, people are still wondering. Was he benched for disciplinary reasons? Did he…
