Patriots fans saw a season without Gronk, then one without Gronk and Brady. Well now there will be one without Gronk, Brady and Edelman. Three of arguably the best Patriots of the last decade.
As a tight end enthusiast, losing Rob Gronkowski was harsh for me but Tom Brady was our leader, our quarterback, he drove the team. And now Patriots fans, now maybe it’s the heart…
Julian Edelman is small and tough, focused and driven… He is passionate. A passionate Patriot, there’s not much better.
He wasn’t THE best wide receiver in the league if you go by statistics. But who cares about statistics right now? This guy is fearless. He is simply put… Awesome.
And now Patriots fans, have we lost our identity?
Who remains from the Patriots way?
WE DO!!
Sure, we’ve loved and lost. We will never forget those that fought passionately. Gave themselves on the field. Six Super Bowls baby!!
We have bore witness to greatness, over and over again. And it’s difficult sometimes to not look at the past, the future is so unknown.
Now it’s fair to say the stock of passionate Patriots isn’t fully depleted. There’s plenty of love for the defence, the offensive line and the secondary. David Andrews, Matthew Slater and James White to just kick off the list.
But! Players will come and go. We will cry, we will cheer, we will be here. We are Patriots Nation and we will go on!
Head coach and general manager Bill Belichick, who held his annual pre-draft press conference on Thursday, spoke about Patricia’s part within the scouting process. Apparently, the Patriots’ former defensive coordinator has played a big part in it.
