Aaron Schatz of Football Outsiders says that for the third-straight offseason, the Patriots’ biggest need is to address the cornerback position. Beyond finding a starter to play opposite Dennard, Schatz says the Patriots need a nickel cornerack to play in the slot. Given the team’s recent history of drafting cornerbacks, Schatz says it could be time to address the position via free agency.

I watched an interesting video about team building with BB today (see here) and he makes the point that you build your team from the middle out. The guys in the midde (OL/DL/LB/S/QB/RB) are they ones involved in EVERY play, whereas corners and receivers might only be involved in a handful of plays.

This is why I’m sticking to DT being the biggest need.

On the Patriots, the Ravens, and the myth of late-season momentum – WEEI | Christopher Price

Echoing what Jerry Thornton had to say yesterday…

When it comes to the Patriots, since 2001, they lead the league when it comes to post-Thanksgiving football: in that stretch, they have an NFL-best record of 75-18 (including the playoffs) after Thanksgiving. In fact, the last three years, the Patriots have been a dominant second-half team. The 2010 team won its last eight games, but lost in the divisional round to the Jets. The 2011 team was equally as hot down the stretch, winning eight in a row, but they fell in the Super Bowl to the Giants. And the 2012 team won nine of its last 10 before winning in the divisional round and losing to the Ravens in the AFC title game. But since 2005, late-season dominance is rarely an indicator of postseason success.
