Man, the #74 is still killing me on Easley, but something tells me that once he gets an actual jersey it’s going to work. (via Patriots Mini-Camp – June 19, 2014)
I think the coolest thing about watching those two is they stayed up here most of the offseason,” McCourty said Wednesday at NESN. “They were already ahead when we came back for the offseason program. You could just see how focused they are on coming back and having big years. Duron knows it’s an open spot at the other safety position. And that’s how he attacked it this offseason. He did everything possible to put himself in competition and go out there and win it.

Bill asks questions,” Revis said. “He’ll ask questions, he’ll try to get other people’s insight, especially veterans. He’ll sit down and have a conversation with you. I think that’s why he’s so genius at what he does. He’s very smart, but at the same time he knows the pulse of the team.

This one of of the big takeaways from Education of a Coach (which if you haven’t read, go get it and read it asap) and why the whole “Belichick is arrogant” storyline never rings true to me.
I think this year is probably going to be one of the most exciting times in my career to actually put pads on and be able to practice. Every year I’m excited but I think this year is going to be a little more special because of what I’ve been through and how far I came along,” he said. “I’m very happy. Excited. It’s been a long time being able to step out here with the guys. Just to take that step is very important to me. We still have a lot to do, but I’m very confident where I’m at. I’ll continue to just get better. It’s going to take time but I’m very positive where I’m at right now.
[I]t was hard not to notice the presence of rookie Dominique Easley, as well as veterans Tommy Kelly, Vince Wilfork and Will Smith all cutting and bursting in a series of footwork drills. All four — who are coming off season-ending injuries last year — appeared to be moving smoothly.
News in June doesn’t get much better than this…
Joking at a wedding is now a news story and proof that the Patriots are still cheaters? Please. When will this, same tired storyline end?
Well, it’s the dead part of the offseason now so anything that can be made into news will be. Really not all that surprising. The tin foil hat crowd, who still think the Patriots are cheating their way to unprecedented win totals, will latch onto it, but in reality, it’s not that big of a deal.
Even yours truly has seen parts of the Jets defensive playbook. There are also plenty of old playbooks available online but it’s not the playbooks that win games. That is about execution. Always has been. Always will be.
Dominique Easley appeared at OTAs today and Jeff Howe of the Boston Herald got some video of it. Looks to like the ACL isn’t going to keep him back too long. Really can’t contain my excitement about what this guy could bring to the defense.
