From childhood, Darrelle Revis and Ty Law were cut from same mold | Sports – Patriots | providencejournal.com | The Providence Journa
Great read on the bond between Revis and Ty Law. Must read!
I’ve played against Darrelle for a lot of years, playing him two times a year with the Jets for a long time, so I know the kind of competitor he is. Having him in practice every day makes all of our guys better because they’re seeing the best, a guy that competes every play in the run game and pass game, on every route. He gets pissed off like I do when a ball gets caught on him. So it’s a nice little competition every day. You’re trying to get the best out of each other.

The motivating force on this side of the ball seems to be last season’s AFC title-game loss to the Broncos (New England gave up 400 passing yards and 507 total yards). Players have put the game behind them, but the aftershocks seem to be driving this defense. The starters are challenging the Brady-led offense on every snap in practice and they are getting their fair share of turnovers via interception.
Great read from Pat Kirwan, always enjoy getting his firsthand view of the Pats.

There is no exact timetable for Easley to begin fully participating in practice, according to an NFL source. Easley will return “as soon as he is ready,” according to the source, but he is “feeling great” and is “on track for everything” as far as rehab from surgery on his ACL.

With the Patriots practicing in full pads the last two days, fullback James Develin’s hard-charging, lead-blocking presence has been hard to miss. Develin, who graduated from the practice squad to the active roster in 2013, brings an attitude to the running game and was praised by personnel director Nick Caserio for having a “great offseason.” Ridley also pointed to Develin when asked about the overall running back group. “Not to single out one guy, but James has come in and done an awesome job,” he said.
