When Tom Brady speaks, New England Patriot fans tend to listen. This time Tom weighed in on the criticism from fans and media outlets, specifically Sterling Sharpe of the NFL Network, during a recent interview of WEEI radio: “I see Matt every day in practice and the improvement he makes. I love what I see in Matt. I have a lot of confidence in Matt . . . for the three guys sitting in the ...

1. Defensive Backs -- Fernando Bryant was able to play, but it didn't matter, as the Bucs walked up and down the field on the Patriots Sunday night. The Patriots corners gave up underneath routes all night, and the duo of Brian Griese and Luke McCown took what they were given. 2. Hold the Mayo? -- Jerod Mayo filled the hole pretty well against Tampa Bay, but wasn't able to get off of blocks as ...

Defensive Backs -- Fernando Bryant is still a
bit dinged up and rookie Terrence Wheatley will probably
start in his place Sunday night. Bryant gave the Raven receivers a ridiculous cushion, which Wheatley was able to shorten up a bit. They both gave up big passes at times, however Wheatley was beaten by some unbelievable throws. Wheatley is angling for a place on the first team, although he

After the New England Patriots lost safety Tank
Williams for the year, there was a big hole
at the safety position. Rodney Harrison, James Sanders, and Brandon Meriweather will all make the team, and John Lynch would provide another veteran to fill out the depth chart. While it is unclear whether Lynch would start or not, it would free up Harrison to play the linebacker/safety hybrid position in

1. Backup QB - Neither Cassel or Gutierrez
had a good night. In reality, they both played
pretty awful, and we might see Chad Pennington getting a call from the Patriots today. Kevin O'Connel, however, had a good first night for New England and looks like he could be the backup of the future. 2. Crable able? - Wow. While he didn't impress too much in practice, come game time Shawn played
4 Quick Things (Patriots vs Ravens) 1. Backup QB - Who will be the first Quarterback to play not named Tom Brady? Matt Cassel and Señor Gutierrez have to impress the Patriots staff early and often. Both need to minimize any mistakes. 2. Crable able? - Shawn Crable hasn't had a very good pre-season and coaches and fans will be looking to see if he has been able to grasp the defense. Crable ...

Brett, we understand that you didn't want to
go out slinging a gun, aka interception, in the
championship game. You didn't want your last game to be a loss. We get that. However, you might rethink that after a couple of 42-13 beatings and (maybe) an 8-8 record. Enjoy that 5th preseason game you have against the Dolphins and get ready for a Week 2 beatdown.

Cowboy Up Jerod Mayo-- A couple of goal-line
stuffs and solid play over the last few practices
have really impressed fans and, presumably, coaches alike. Mayo seems to be picking up the nuances of the Belichick scheme faster than normal, which bodes well for the efficacy of his rookie season. Sam Aiken-- He just won't go away. Aiken may well compete with Chad Jackson and Jabar Gaffney

Coach Ditka here. Sorry for the extended absence
readers, I got back from Bermuda a bit ago
where I was beating the hell out of something called Hurricane Bertha. Three fat assholes from Chicago dared me to do it, so I said what the hell. I think one of them had a heart-attack when I told them I won, kept on pounding his chest and stuff...

During the New England Patriots 2008 Training Camp,
there are going to be many position battles: Starting
Corner, Nickel Corner, Inside Linebacker, 3rd Wide Receiver, and more. Few though, will be as hotly contested as the role of kick and punt returner. Special teams are always a priority of Coach Belichick, and last year was no exception
