New Found Pats Blog: Florida/Georgia Analysis
Always enjoy finding a new Pats blog, especially an X-and-O centric one.
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?

PFW: Hart on the Linebackers
It’s funny, didn’t everyone see this coming when all anyone could talk about was how old our linebackers were?
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.

NFLN: 3 “Ya Knows” in 39 seconds for Welker
All “ya know” kidding aside, I can’t believe how good Welker looks running through these drills.
NFLN: Patriots Reloading or ReBuilding?
NFLN: Patriots Reloading or ReBuilding?
Rod Woodson sums up how I feel pretty well, especially the mention of why the Steelers were consistently good during his time there despite turnover… they were well coached.
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.
