October 26, 2012 by Mike Dussault

This is by far the youngest Opening Day roster coach Bill Belichick has assembled with the Patriots. The average age of New England’s roster right now (the team could have added four more tight ends late Sunday night) is 25 years, 274 days, according to STATS, LLC. That’s more than a year younger than the 2010 squad (26-280). The third-youngest team was Belichick’s first, the 5-11 juggernauts of 2000 (26-329). Where the youth really shows up is on defense. The average age of the starters is 25. The only other Belichick team to be under 27 was the ’10 version at 25.1, according to numbers from Pro-Football-Reference.com.

REMINDER

I’ll take a young nucleus of Mayo, Spikes, Hightower, Jones, and yes, even McCourty, with old vet Big Vince leading the way. Talent infusions are definitely still needed at defensive tackle and defensive back, but that core is a solid foundation.

ESPN: Patriots Gillette Stadium Ranked #7 Toughest Venue

ESPN: Patriots Gillette Stadium Ranked #7 Toughest Venue Seems like Gillette being ranked that high has a lot more to do with how good the Pats have been than necessarily it being an inherently tough venue to play at like Seattle. The Seahawks could be horrible and it’s still loud and often raining. One voter […]
