Welker on Field & In Uniform for OTAs!
This is nothing short of amazing. It will six months ago tomorrow that Welker tore both his ACL and MCL against Houston. To already be back on the field has to be some sort of medical record. We will post pictures as soon as they are made available later today. WOWOWOWOWOWOW!
Patriots Draft Review from Football Gameplan.

Sebastian Vollmer, New England Patriots, OT: I first met Vollmer when he played in the NFL world junior championships as a member of the German team. He was just a big kid then, trying to learn an American game. He has come a long way in a short time, starting eight games as a rookie last seaosn and protecting Tom Brady’s blindside. He could be on the verge of a Michael Roos-type career.

Gronk Talks About Learning the Pats Playbook
I think it’s pretty safe to say that Gronk’s agents have programmed him to respond “it’s all in the past” whenever he’s asked about his back injury. It’s kinda comical if you watch enough interviews with him over the past few months.
Pro Football Focus Ranks TBC 8th Best OLB
My pimping of Tully Banta Cain continues. Worth noting that the Patriots do not play an attacking defense like 5 of the 7 players ranked above TBC do. He’s going to be a 3-down player for the Patriots this year, and with additional pressure from the defensive line he could be a pro bowler. Believe it.
Over the last 10 years the Patriots have only had two players record double digit sack totals; 2009 Tully Banta-Cain (10), 2007 Mike Vrabel (12.5). In fact, over that span, the average for sack leaders for the Pats is about 8.5. Also interesting to point out that over that same time period, the Patriots have averaged about 36.5 sacks a year as a team, and in four seasons they went over 40 as a team – 2007, 2004, 2003, and 2001 – all Super Bowl teams.
