Frenz: Should Pats Pursue Jason Taylor?

June 28, 2011 by Mike Dussault

Like most Pats fans out there I’m kind of over the Jason Taylor of it all. Anyone who has played for both the Dolphins and Jets is basically devoid of any Pats potential I ever saw in him. And ultimately you’re really only delaying the inevitable with Taylor. Sure, he might bring a good veteran presence to the defense, something I think they definitely need, but is he going to be an answer to any of the on-field issues? I have my doubts.

Interestingly, the Patriots hardly used any 6OL sets last year, after using the formation more than 50 times the year before. I guess once they had Rob Gronkowski, Aaron Hernandez, and Alge Crumpler, there was no reason to bring out a sixth lineman. They did use Dan Connolly as a fullback at the goal line, but we did not count that as a 6OL set.

Boston Herald: Tracking the Patriots offseasons

Wow, this is an epic list of a good number of Patriots and what they’ve been up to this lockout offseason. I know I’m biased but when you really think about what kind of team is going to be successful this season (whether training camp starts on time, or the talks fall apart and we miss a few games) are teams that have their coaches, players and systems in place (Pats), don’t have extensive issues to address in free agency (Pats), and won’t be forced to rely on rookies (Pats).

I know I can be a Pat-eyed optimist sometimes but I’m really feeling confident that the 2011 Patriots will make some noise in the playoffs. And yes, that’s where we’re at now to be considered a successful season. AFC Championship Game or bust…
