Patriots 2010 Week 9 to 17 highlight film
I posted part one of these video a couple months ago and just today stumbled back on part two so here it is. I haven’t watched it all the way through yet because I know how it’s going to end and I don’t really care to see that again.

Ryan Mallett and Jon Gruden on ESPN.
Somehow missed this before the Pats took Mallett, but he definitely seems to have the prerequisite level of football nerd that BB likes.

Which one sticks out in your head more… The pick six against Roethlisberger or the game saver against Peyton Manning?
Sanders: “Oh man, I’m going to say the game saver against Peyton Manning. I’m glad Tom (Brady) is on our team, and we just have to go against him in practice. But going against Peyton, you’ve got to give everything you’ve got because he’ll get you if you’re not prepared. To go out there and have the opportunity to help the team win in the closing minutes of the game, I’m always going to remember that one. I have the ball, and to be able to pick off a future hall of famer and to help win the game… I’ll never forget that one.”

Until the Patriots acquire another big name defensive end in the draft the memory of Richard Seymour will continue to haunt them via articles like this one from Tom E. Curran.
It’s undeniable that New England took a calculated half-step back by dumping Seymour, but if Nate Solder ends up being the long term Left Tackle it’s my view that it was a good business decision that worked out well for the Pats.
The question you have to ask is: Would the ‘09 Patriots have won a Super Bowl if Seymour was on the team? I’d say probably not, given that was a year of near total defensive turnover, especially in leadership positions.
Have the Pats missed Seymour? Of course. But trying to squeeze every last bit out of every player you have is often not the smart long term approach. It might be painful, and it might be a small step back, but ultimately it is setting the franchise up for continued and sustained success.
This will be me once the lockout is over and the NFL is back to business…

Ryan Mallett will have the largest impact of any quarterback drafted this year, and his impact will be felt on and off the field. On the field, he will be given time to develop, to watch and learn from one of the greatest ever in the game – Brady. Off the field, Mallett’s ability will make Patriots coach Bill Belichick not want to stop coaching in the next 10 years and keep chasing titles. Mallett brings good news to Pats fans in every area.

Frenz: Ten undrafted free agents the New England Patriots must target
Hoodie bless Frenz for putting this together, I don’t do much rookie free agent pondering so it’s nice to get an idea of some prospects who slipped through the cracks. Craig Marshall is one guy in particular I think is an interesting pass rusher type.
