ProFootball Focus: Gronk 8th Best Rookie
Not sure why Hernandez isn’t on this list, probably because Gronk has more TDs. McCourty is probably a couple interceptions away from being on it too. Patriots have the best 2010 rookie class without a doubt.
For the record, I’ve spoken to a few people behind the scenes and while I can’t give specifics, believe me that everything you’ve heard about Moss arguing with coaches this season is about half as bad as it actually was. From a stat analyst perspective, the trade makes no sense, but from a team psychology perspective, it had to happen.

New Look Patriots Face a Difficult Second Quarter of 2010
We knew going into this season that a fast start would be essential for thePatriots to maintain their playoff hopes. Had they faltered like Miami did, losing 2 of 3 division games, it would be a long, hard road to get into the tournament.
I doubt there are many of us that wouldn’t have taken a 3-1 record if offered it before the season started. It hasn’t always been pretty, but as Bill Parcells said “you are what you are” and the Patriots are still in the division race.
The next four games against the Baltimore Ravens, San Diego Chargers,Minnesota Vikings and Cleveland Browns are a daunting task. That’s three 2009 playoff teams, and a Browns team that are no longer pushovers.
Analysis of a tough 2010 quarter number two after the jump…

And the beat goes on. Excited to see some more of Julian Edelman and maybe even some Taylor Price in the coming weeks.

LaCanfora: Strong Chance Mankins/VJax Report Anyway
Of course just after I post about the potential trade talk, The Can posts this about the language in the CBA making it likely they could be in the same situation next year if they don’t report. I think a trade still makes sense. Mankins and VJax have both had acrimonious holdouts. Why not give both of them a fresh start across the country from the teams they’ve been battling with?
