Keeping the Saints out of the end zone – even in the preseason – is an accomplishment, and that’s what the Patriots were able to do last Thursday night. They’ve followed up that performance with a week of practice that featured the defense flying around and causing havoc for Brady and his offense, including a number of interceptions. The test it will face in the Eagles is different than what the defense has seen before, as Michael Vick adds an element of elusiveness from the quarterback position that can prove lethal on any snap.

Stallworth: ‘Nikko’ plays on – Extra Points – Boston.com

In his first go-round in New England, Stallworth admitted to having an on-field alter ego, whom he calls Nikko. At the end of our conversation for this piece in today’s Sunday Globe, I asked him if that alter ego is still with him. Stallworth laughed and said he is. “He only comes out on gamedays. I’m like real calm and chill outside of football but when I get into the games I’m a little different,” he said. “It catches people off guard when I’m out there playing and I’m out there cursing and pushing linemen around, because I’m completely the opposite off the field and it catches people off guard, but that’s just the way I play, that’s the way I’ve always played, and that’s just who I am when I’m on the field.”

The activation of Sebastian Vollmer and Daniel Fells from the Physically Unable to Perform list is imminent, a source told us on Saturday.

Obviously this is really good news on Vollmer. Now we just cross our fingers that he can stay healthy for the full season. As for Fells it should be interesting to see if he can make a push to make the roster. Offensive weapon roster spots are at a premium but it seems like Fells could fill a third TE spot that is currently vacated.

Here is what [Mike Reiss] believes is the story behind the story on why Jeff Demps ultimately decided to sign with the Patriots instead of a handful of other interested clubs: When it initially appeared Demps wouldn’t be going to the Olympics, the Patriots had arranged a trip for him to come to New England for a workout. They were the most aggressive of any team in the NFL at the time. But on the day Demps was supposed to travel to New England, he learned that an injury to Mike Rodgers opened a spot for him on the U.S. Olympic team. The Patriots had to eat the plane ticket, but Demps essentially showed the team loyalty by giving it the first opportunity to sign him upon his return from London.
