Andre Carter Highlights 2011 [HD] (by footballman175)
What a great reminder of how much of an impact Andre Carter had last year, and when you think about it, if not for injuries to him and Gronk the Super Bowl might’ve turned out a little different. Oh well. Like all Patriots fans we have our fingers crossed that he’s back with the Pats.
UPDATE after posting:
@PatsPropaganda wow!!!! I’m honored. Thank you.

In some ways, Dowling could be considered an extra draft pick this year. He played in just two games as a rookie and is trying to work his way back into football shape. But Dowling still looks a step slow and had trouble covering quick receivers. He has to make a lot of progress between now and training camp in order to win a meaningful role in the secondary.

No player has been had a wider array of commentary this off-season. The Pats beat writers are up and down on him. One practice Reiss likes what he’s doing, Bedard doesn’t. The next Dowling is getting his reps taken by Sterling Moore. No player will get more scrutiny in camp. You just can’t be the first overall pick of day two of the draft and fly under the radar. Still, I think the Pats see something in him that we haven’t seen yet. First thing is just for him to stay healthy and the rest will come.
I’d also point out that it’s tough for a CB who’s biggest asset is his length and ability to jam to stand out in a no contact practice.

Bedard’s nuggets, click it out. He keeps bringing up Justin Francis as a defensive player to watch. I’ll be curious to get a good look at him in the preseason, but Bedard seems high on him, and I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt it’s not just because they share Rutgers as their alma mater.
Interesting piece below, not much room for error in the secondary, especially if you’re not making plays.
The most significant personnel change – and, again, it’s early so it probably doesn’t mean anything – was that Sterling Moore took all of Dowling’s snaps in nickel defense. Guessing the Patriots continue to like Moore’s ball skills. Dowling hasn’t really made any plays. Also interesting to note, after playing left cornerback for the first time on Tuesday, Dowling received even more reps (if not more) on the left side. As a rookie, he was only a right cornerback. Could be preparation for Devin McCourty to do some safety work down the road if Dowling proves ready to take on more.
