Cutting off the Sleeves: The History of Bill Belichick and His Hoodie
Since it’s a quiet day-before-gameday, here’s a flashback to an exhaustive article I put together this offseason that included a full database of every top Bill Belichick has worn in his coaching career. Well, most of them.
The bottom line? BB need to leave the sleeves alone!!!

King predicts that the Patriots, led by 2013 MVP Tom Brady, will defeat the Seahawks 30-23 in Super Bowl XLVIII. “Brady’s mastery of the up-temp game and his team’s ability to seamlessly incorporate new skill players explain why SI is picking the Pats win the Super Bowl for the first time since the 2004 season,” says King.

They got Boyce good. And Nink in the middle is too perfect.

Slater is the 11th player to receive the award, and watching him accept the honor served as a reminder of one of the neat parts about reporting on the same team for an extended period of time: The chance to see a player evolve from on-the-roster-bubble rookie to captain and respected leader.

Great read from Frenz on Hightower. Expecting big things out of the second-year linebacker.

Good take on these four from Steve. Right now I’ve got all four of them making it, though I think Fells is the most on the edge.
Cunningham still appeals to me more than Bequette and Buchanan, even if Buchanan will likely be the better player down the road. I don’t think Cunningham will earn a new contract from the Pats, but I think they need him this year for depth at multiple spots (DE, interior rusher, even OLB).
I still think either Hooman or Fells make it as insurance for Ballard until Gronk comes back. I consider Sudfeld more in the Hernandez role, and his playing time will be likely closer tied to Dobson/Edelman/Boyce.
I think Adrian Wilson makes it, but I wouldn’t be shocked if he didn’t. It just comes down to value and it looks like he could be effective in a sub linebacker role. Tavon Wilson might not be as savvy for that spot, but he certainly runs better at this point. So we’ll see.
Finally I think Leon Washington makes it, no question. He’s the best kick returned on the roster and the only reasonable pass-catching backup to Shane Vereen.
