Yeah they’re 1-4 and yes they are the Jets, but these aren’t the same Jets the Patriots completely outclassed in a Week 3 30-14 rout in Foxboro. They aren’t exactly good, but they aren’t the Redskins or Dolphins either; two teams who are locking horns in a race to the bottom of the NFL toilet. The...

What to make of Patriots running back Sony Michel.

Bill Belichick has noted over the years that there is a reason it’s referred to as “midseason form.” Most teams, certainly teams that have championship futures, don’t just roll out of training camp and play their best football. Rather, it takes time on the practice field and in game competition for...

Don't expect much from Patriots rookie N'Keal Harry this season.

The year was 2013 and the Red Sox had a decision to make. They knew a good chunk of the $2.9 million they had to spend in the international free-agent market was going to go to one player. The top of Boston’s list had two names: Rafael Devers and Gleyber Torres. “We really liked Gleyber,”...

Eight tumultuous years into his NFL career, Josh Gordon probably is what he is at this point. Well into his second season in New England, what exactly is that? Through a 5-0 start to the Patriots season, Gordon ranks third on the team with 19 catches for 280 yards (14.7 avg.) with one touchdown...

Dante Scarnecchia is the most accomplished, respected coach on the Patriots staff not named Bill Belichick. He’s a legendary offensive line leader who’s earned uniquely universal faith from media, fans, opponents, fellow coaches and players alike. Scar has overseen offensive lines with differing...
