Undrafted Rookie Gary Guyton Bringing Youth and Speed to the Patriots Defense

Tue, 7 Oct 2008 00:40:14 +1900

The endings to the 2006 and 2007 seasons were eerily similar and painful for the New England Patriots. For two consecutive years they watched a late lead evaporate as their Manning-led opponents put together 4 th quarter drives that carved the Patriots Defense for game clinching touchdowns. Whether it was Joseph Addai running it in or Plaxico Burress catching it, the Pats could not get a stop when they needed it most. The Patriots defense, once the foundation on which the Dynasty of the Millennium was built, had gotten too old and too slow to keep up with opposing offenses. Teams with athletic tight ends and dynamic slot receivers picked on the Patriots linebacking crew, forcing former Pro Bowler Tedy Bruschi and the ageless but still aging Junior Seau into pass coverage at any chance they got. While Bill Belichick admitted the Patriots had been trying to get younger and faster on defense for years it just hadn’t happened yet. Whether it was Free ...

Moss, Cassel hope film work pays off

Sun, 5 Oct 2008 04:00:00 +1900

FOXBOROUGH - The Patriots are playing the San Francisco 49ers today in a game that marks Randy Moss's return to the Bay Area. You couldn't blame Moss if at times this season he has felt like he's back with the Raiders in Oakland, where he spent two frustrating and fruitless seasons before finding bliss with Tom Brady and Bill Belichick.

Patriots' Aiken is on a role

Sat, 4 Oct 2008 04:00:00 +1900

The Patriots seemed like a comfortable fit for wide receiver Sam Aiken from the start. After five years with the Buffalo Bills, primarily as a special teams player, Aiken was contacted by the Patriots Feb. 29, just as the free agency period opened - and who wouldn't be flattered to have Bill Belichick calling? Aiken signed a two-year ...

Chris Nelson's Week Five NFL Game Predictions

Fri, 3 Oct 2008 19:32:28 +1900

Pretty decent week last week as I got nine of 13 picks right. Hopefully I can keep it up. Last week's record: 9-4 Season record: 35-25 Packers over Falcons - Things could get interesting if Aaron Rodgers is unable to go, but Green Bay is still the better team and has to be the pick. Titans over Ravens - A very good matchup between two great defenses, but the difference is the Titans have a veteran at quarterback and the Ravens have a rookie. I'm not sure Joe Flacco will be able to put up enough points to pull out a win. Chargers over Dolphins - If San Diego plays like it did against Oakland and Miami plays like it did against New England, this game could be close. But I still have to be cautious and wait to see if Miami's outburst was a fluke. Colts over Texans - It's about time the Colts really got things going, isn't it? Giants over Seahawks - The Super Bowl champs are playing well and have to be the pick until they lose. Eagles over Redskins - There's simply no way to know ...

3 Things Wrong About Patriots

Tue, 30 Sep 2008 23:49:53 +1900

I got what I think is a good challenge. Write an article about three things you hate about your team. No.1 They are too awesome! OK, that was cheating. Let me try again.:) Um, gee this is hard for a blind homer like me. No.1 Idiots on the hater-bandwagon. OK, that is cheating too.:) No.1 Lack of depth at QB. Cassel is not Brady. Thank Gawd for low hanging fruit. (Note to editors: I don't think God, Goddess, gods, or nothingness, cares about an article on Bleacher Report, so Gawd is correct.) No.2 Bruschi is not the 2003 Bruschi and Harrison is old too. (Note I did not stupidly state the defense that starts rookies is old.) No.3 Maroney is looking more and more like a 2nd round back that got picked in round No.1. He might still be OK, but he was sold as a Dillon. The team went from "clock killin'" Dillon to "happy feet" Maroney. OK, hater bandwagon, comment below and prove your ignorance. Then write your own three things wrong ...
