Receivers coach Chad O’Shea related some of the complexities with the offense that can make things difficult for a new receiver. “At times, there are four decisions that a receiver needs to make after the snap the way our offense is,’’ O’Shea said. “That’s one of the advantages of our offense, that we give players a lot of flexibility within the system to take what the defense gives us. And that’s definitely something that’s unique about our offense.’’ Recognizing blitzes is something receivers have to do as well. They often have to break off their route if a defense sends extra players. “It’s on everybody,’’ O’Shea said. “We always say we need to see everything through the same set of eyes. So receivers have responsibilities in blitz, we have responsibilities in our route conversions, and the most important thing is the quarterback and receiver have to be on the same page. That’s why it takes time.’’

Felt like there was too much instability in the Patriots secondary in 2011 for the unit to be successful, and in retrospect, the team’s handling of the safety spot seems fair to scrutinize. In terms of decisions I’d imagine Bill Belichick would like to have back, I’d put releasing James Sanders alongside the acquisitions of Albert Haynesworth and Chad Ochocinco at the top of the list. Amazing to think that after all the headlines Haynesworth and Ochocinco generated in late July/early August, they were essentially non-factors.

Worst play of the season: Sergio Brown’s pass interference penalties First in the end zone against the Bills on Sept. 25, which negated an interception, and then close to the goal line against the Giants on Nov. 6 to set up what turned out to be the game-winning touchdown. The coaching staff seemed to lose confidence in Brown defensively in the second half of the season.
Mike Reiss hands out his Pats awards, I thought this Sergio Brown one was pretty funny. I mean, they weren’t funny at the time, but now they kinda are.
