Projecting the Patriots receivers depth chart – Extra Points – Boston.com
Good breakdown here from the Globe. Seems to me like most knowledgeable Patriots fans see the wide receiver battle playing out the same. Ocho and Stallworth get cut, Gaffney and Lloyd are the reinforcements and Branch is in for the fight of his life.
NFL offseason report cards: AFC East
New England Patriots (A-): Bill Belichick’s bunch was oh-so-close to its fourth Lombardi Trophy in 11 seasons. But the Pats have been busy since their four-point loss in Super Bowl XLVI. Six of their seven draft picks were devoted to a defense that finished last in the AFC.

Wow, I’m impressed. Not really with the video itself but with TFB’s acting. Even as Patriots fans we can admit that any time Brady has “acted” in the past it’s a cringe-worthy experience. But maybe he’s gotten some acting lessons or something because I didn’t find myself cringing at all during this one. He’s not quite on Peyton’s acting level yet, but I think he definitely surpassed Eli after his awkward SNL appearance last month.

Coverage vs. Welker: Dolphins CB Benny Sapp is trying to show pressure with his initial alignment. However, this is a poor pre-snap look and it puts him in a position where he has to recover to play the seam route (with inside leverage). Either show pressure at the line (where you can get hands on the WR) or back off and get in a stance. With a single-high safety in the middle of the field, Brady is looking for pressure. This alignment from Sapp isn’t fooling anyone.

Even if Brady is one of the most accurate throwers in NFL history, his deliveries are not always on the money – purposefully so, Jenkins said, to maintain an admirable touchdown-to-interception ratio. So a receiver had better be prepared to field a low or high throw or one that requires him to leave his feet.
“He’ll throw a ball low, to protect the route, and you better be able to get it,” Jenkins said. “He’s very strict about route running and ball placement. You need to be able to make the difficult catch.”
