In the offensive and defensive linemen battles, the star attraction was rookie Chandler Jones. The first-round pick out of Syracuse had an impressive showing, beating Nate Solder down low and using his leverage and quickness to get around him early on, the first of two wins for him on the line. Later, Solder got a bit of revenge with a shoulder jab that kept Jones at bay. It was a good day for the defensive line, as they won a majority of the battles, including Vince Wilfork getting the better of Dan Connolly and Brandon Deaderick getting the best of Donald Thomas.

No one can cover Hernandez. He looks really good.
Haven’t mentioned much of this yet, but Aaron Hernandez looks like he’s ready to take a big leap. Just has to stay healthy.

At one point during Sunday’s practice, the Jets ran the ball 22 straight times. Ryan called that a “tremendous” development, one that he hadn’t planned. Perhaps that illustrates, as well as anything could (especially in July), that the Jets will be committed to a ground-and-pound philosophy in Sparano’s first year as offensive coordinator.

With the Pats spending more time on a nickel front style defense it should certainly be interesting to see what they do against the Jets with the return of the ground and pound.

Belichick might be 60, but there’s a strong feeling around the league that he’s not close to being done, and could well outlast Brady in New England. When asked about his future, Belichick’s stock response privately has been, I’m told, “What else am I going to do?” Here’s the thing – he’s comfortable. He went to prep school and college in the region, lives in the seaside town of Hingham, and his beloved Nantucket is a short drive/boat ride away. He’s got all the power a coach could want organizationally, and now his son is working for him. Maybe he reverses course down the line, but at this point my sense is he’s staying in Foxborough for quite a while to come.
