Even if they’re ugly 2-0 victories, a victory is a victory,” he said. “I’d rather have ugly wins than pretty losses any day, and I had a lot of pretty losses in my career, so I’ll take the ugly wins.

I defer to the coaches in this situation, since we’ve only seen a limited collection of plays, most of which came during the preseason. All we can do is assume that Thompkins and Dobson have been better in practice and that’s why they’re getting the majority of the chances early. I like that they’re sticking with them too. Boyce’s chance will come, he’ll have to make the most of it though.

Leftover thoughts from Week 2 – New England Patriots Blog – ESPN Boston
Four really good detailed nuggets here on things that we talked a lot about this offseason.
The composition of the Patriots’ roster is perhaps the most unique we’ve seen in Bill Belichick’s 14 years as coach. The club returned 18 of 22 primary starters this season, so there is what many would consider the ideal layer of continuity. But as of opening kickoff, the Patriots also had more first- and second-year players (21) than all but two teams in the NFL (the St. Louis Rams and Cleveland Browns). Makes for a different type of mix – a contending team that from an overall perspective trends younger. The question remains: Is it the right mix?
