An Independent Patriots Blog
Interestingly, the Patriots hardly used any 6OL sets last year, after using the formation more than 50 times the year before. I guess once they had Rob Gronkowski, Aaron Hernandez, and Alge Crumpler, there was no reason to bring out a sixth lineman. They did use Dan Connolly as a fullback at the goal line, but we did not count that as a 6OL set.

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…

Not bad Bills. Maybe you’ll actually beat the Patriots more than once in these uniforms.

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.
