Boston Herald: Tracking the Patriots offseasons

Wow, this is an epic list of a good number of Patriots and what they’ve been up to this lockout offseason. I know I’m biased but when you really think about what kind of team is going to be successful this season (whether training camp starts on time, or the talks fall apart and we miss a few games) are teams that have their coaches, players and systems in place (Pats), don’t have extensive issues to address in free agency (Pats), and won’t be forced to rely on rookies (Pats).

I know I can be a Pat-eyed optimist sometimes but I’m really feeling confident that the 2011 Patriots will make some noise in the playoffs. And yes, that’s where we’re at now to be considered a successful season. AFC Championship Game or bust…

Reiss: Fletcher putting in the work

Great stuff here from Dane Fletcher. Sounds like he’s really dedicated himself this off-season and I’m excited to see what strides he can take. A realistic ceiling for Fletch in my mind is him challenging Guyton as the top coverage linebacker who occasionally blitzes. I’m not so sure he’s ever going to be a three down outside linebacker but he should be able to contribute in a number of different ways.

“He’s done things there in his short career with the Patriots that I wasn’t able to do until my eighth or ninth year or something like that. That’s how far along he is. That’s how good he is,” Bruschi said of the 6-foot-1, 245-pound Mayo. “I never had the ability that he has — how fast he is, how big he is and strong. The sky is the limit for him. I truly see him being the best linebacker in the game within two years. I think that’s how good he is.

“No matter what defensive scheme they run,” he added. “They’ll run some 3-4. They’ll run some 4-3 looks. And he can do it on a down-to-down basis. It’s very difficult to do, especially in that system — I know. The sky is the limit for him.”
