Patriots – Vikings Flashback Highlight

Patriots – Vikings Flashback Highlight

To kick off Vikings week we’d like to share what is probably Chad Jackson’s greatest highlight as a Patriot, which yes, I realize isn’t saying much. But still, this was a pretty sweet touchdown scramble and made us believe, for maybe just one play, that Jackson might turn out to be a player. He didn’t.

Sifting through some of these highlights from 2006 reminded me how it was one of the first times we really saw the Patriots go hard core spread offense. Of course it was surprising given that their receiver corps consisted of aging Troy Brown, soon-to-be bust Chad Jackson, Reche “One Season” Caldwell, and the infamous Doug Gabriel. At this point Jabar Gaffney was still on the periphery (if he was even on the team yet).

Anyway, this game was the first sign of what was to come in 2007, but clearly they needed Moss, Welker and Stallworth before going spread full time.

NFLN Playbook Review: Pats vs. Chargers

This is mostly a “wow the Chargers make stupid mistakes” edition of playbook, opposed to a “hey the Patriots are actually pretty good”. Of course the only Patriots-centric thing they brought up was the 4th and 1 stop. Glad that will be dead and buried by tomorrow.

Favorite part had to be Solomon Wilcots not even attempting to say “Leominster” instead choosing to identify “MA” as Maine on the viewer question. Great job, Solly.

Patriots History Tuesdays: 1988 Patriots

In honor of the throwbacks this weekend here’s a nice recap of the 1988 Patriots who were pretty unmemorable. But this was the height of the Steve Grogan neck roll era. An era that I saw more than a few games at the old stadium. So it will always be special. This was just as the night was growing darkest for the Patriots franchise, just before Mr. Robert Kraft came to town and turned the franchise into one of the best.

Dane Fletcher – On his first play, the rookie inside linebacker forces a fumble that is recovered by the Patriots. He also catches a squib kick in the first quarter and was more effective than Gary Guyton in squaring up Darren Sproles.

Mike Reiss echoing my comments yesterday about Fletcher vs. Guyton.
