Former Patriots receiver Troy Brown said discipline is the only way for receivers to thrive in the offense. “Discipline in route-running — not rounding out, not coming back to the ball, all the little things you don’t always think about,” Brown said. “Taking care of your body. Eating right. Being accountable. All those things are part of discipline.”

And it needs a good Gronk spike on it!
Bruschi’s Breakdown — New England Patriots vs. Buffalo Bills – ESPN Boston
The Patriots, from a coaching staff standpoint, have to be all-encompassing because there is a lot of mystery to a new team that is coming out with a new quarterback, a new head coach, a new philosophy, a new energy. So you have to be ready for everything in terms of hurry-up offense, new formations, personnel groupings and motions and new defensive wrinkles that you haven’t seen in the preseason. There’s no real book on this head coach or coaching staff working together. So this can be a huge sideline adjustment game for the Patriots because of that mystery. Once the game plan is recognized by the Patriots coaching staff in the first quarter, then the adjustments can be made.
‘Fragile’ label doesn’t really fit Danny Amendola – Sports – The Boston Globe
Enjoyed this one with a closer look at Danny Amendola and the preconceptions about his injury history.
That’s why the “fragile” label bugs Amendola so much. Yes, he has played only 16 games once in four NFL seasons (he also played in all 14 games after being signed by St. Louis off Philadelphia’s practice squad in Week 3 of 2009). It’s not as though he refuses to play on sprained ankles or with minor dings. His injuries have been freakish and painful.
The sub-package pass rushing role will likely come down to Joe Vellano, A.J. Francis, Jake Bequette and Michael Buchanan. Vellano is the only player we’ve seen this summer playing at the three-technique defensive tackle spot, but for the past two years Bill Belichick has used a defensive end. Jermaine Cunningham, Marcus Benard and Justin Francis all played the position this summer. All three guys are gone.
