Almost 2 dozen Patriots spent part of their day off building a playground in Providence on October 11, 2011 with UnitedHealthcare & KaBOOM!

I don’t give enough love here for all that the Patriots do for charities. Every Tuesday during the season you have some of the Pats doing their part in the community. It’s a great example for us all to give back!!

John Lynch: How to beat Tom Brady & the Patriots

I always love when former players chime in with articles like this. Lynch has been on a playoff team to beat Brady, and he also was briefly a teammate of Brady’s. Here’s one great nugget:

As for the game plan, for the teams that have played and have beaten the Patriots, there is a common trend. First and foremost, even Tom Brady is affected when people are hitting him. You have to find a way to put pressure on him. He likes to step up in the pocket so it’s very important that the pressure comes from right up the gut. You have to have people around his legs, his face and be constantly hitting him throughout the course of the game.

Rapsheet: Patriots third downs vs. Jets review

As someone who has tracked third down defense obsessively the last two seasons this was a must-post for me. The numbers vs. the Jets were definitely a bit inflated due to the Jets offense being out of sync, but I definitely saw some positive growth on the Patriots defense.

The push that Haynesworth provided up the middle alone caused some hesitation from Sanchez.  Mike Wright could make even more of an impact in this department, hopefully he can get back this week because we’ll need him against the pass-happy Cowboys.
