Bill Belichick taught me that ideas should be innocent until proven guilty. Some people think ideas are guilty until proven innocent. You might suggest a play or an idea to a coach, and it gets shot down right away — like, ‘Your idea is no good because I didn’t think of it.’ But if you do that too often, people stop coming up with ideas. And then you might be shutting off the flow of pretty good thoughts, and you’re stunting everyone’s development. I don’t want to be dictating. I want to be having conversations.

This certainly doesn’t help the “Belichick needs to listen more to his staff” crowd does it?

Brady’s looking shaggy, eh? As someone who has always hated their hair (I remember crying in fourth grade because kids made fun of my bowl cut) I’m kinda enjoying Brady making a bold statement here. These days the standard dude cut is the “short and spiky”, one that Brady rocked for a while.

Is Brady going for the full on long rocker doo? Hard to know if Gisele would allow that. This, coupled with his new helmet, are really throwing me off this year. Like it’s either going to be a Tom Brady resurgance, or we’re going to start longing for the short haired, Riddell-wearing Brady.

We say he buzzes it all off for the start of training camp.

Patriots Schwag Hunt: The Boring Bomber Jacket

Unlike our usual finds on Patriots Schwag Hunt this one is for the casual boring fan. The kind of fan that says “I want to spend over $100 on some schwag, but I don’t want too many Patriots logos and stuff on it”. Sure, you might be a little bland in the personality department, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t some fan gear just for you.

Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Welkers ACL

I really have no clue when to expect Welka back now. Originally I thought it was possible he could miss the entire season. Then, after reports said he was doing well, I projected a return in late October against the Vikings. Then I backed it up to week six versus the Ravens. Now? I have no idea. The fact is that with 3 of their furst 4 games in the division the Patriots must must must get off to a good start.  The week 5 bye might really help reset Welker if he plays the first four games. I think it’s a very good possibility, but first he’ll have to not be put on PUP at the start of training camp.
