Tom E. Curran Breaks Down the Coming Mankins Storm

Tom E. Curran Breaks Down the Coming Mankins Storm

So we can all pretty much resign ourselves that the joy of training camp will be tarnished by the black cloud known as Logan Mankins. Tom E. is right on, every Patriot is going to get hammered with questions about it. All analysis of camp battles will take a back seat to all thing Mankins holdout related. 

It does sound like there’s a chance this thing gets resolved, but knowing the Patriots I’m not one to hold out hope that we’ll ever see him in the flying elvis again.

I guarantee this blog will have minimal Mankins mentions until something actually happens, like he shows up or they trade him or a statement is released. Until then this will be a Mankins-free zone.

Lombardi on the Patriots

Below is what Mike Lombardi had to say about the Pats. He shoots down the “window of opportunity” theory as well.

New England Patriots: I laugh when people say the Patriots’ window is closing fast as Tom Brady gets older. Are you kidding me? The Patriots are a team in transition, but their window is not closing. In fact, it is getting wider as they keep surrounding Brady with young talent. However, the Patriots need their young players to get tougher – they need their team to get tougher. Last season, New England allowed its opponents to score every time they were first-and-goal inside the 5-yard line – every time. Last year, the Patriots had chances to win games in the final drive, but turned the ball over and finished 1-3 in games decided by three points or fewer. Their window is still open, but the youngsters better start to produce.

OK I know there’s been a little too much Jets crap on here lately, but it’s hard to avoid when they’re yet again the toast of the offseason. Words cannot express how excited I am to see Hard Knocks this year. In fact I might even say I’m more excited than if the Patriots were on there. Why? Because I like keeping a certain mystique about the Pats, and you just know there’s going to be a plethora of talking points after the first five minutes of episode one with Rex Ryan running his yap. 

Thanks to Rex for putting some sizzle back into the Patriots-Jets rivalry. I cannot wait for the season, especially week 2.
