Around the AFC East: New England Patriots
2008-06-06 14:30:00
Back with round two of this week's "Around the AFC East." It's time to talk Patriots.  And to do that is MaPataFan from Pats Pulpit: Matty I: I know I asked about the secondary last time, but two players in particular I have questions about.  Rodney Harrison is entering the final year of his contract.  What kind of contribution do you expect from him in '08 and do you think he'll be back beyond this season?  Also, last year's 1st round pick, Brandon Meriweather, has been rumored to possibly switch from safety to corner.  What do you expect his role to be this season and will be make the kind of impact that a former 1st round pick should make entering year #2? MaPatsFan: Harrison is 35 and, as you state, in the last year of his contract.  Even though he's been a huge asset to the team (and sometimes distraction, re: HGH), Belichick would not renew his contract in a heartbeat if he wasn't making the grade.  It's even questionable whether he...

Around The AFC East: New England Patriots
2008-05-30 16:30:00
Back with the second part of this week's "Around the AFC East."  It's time to turn our attention to the Patriots.  MaPatsFan from Pats Pulpit is here to help us out: Matty I: Much was made this off-season of New England losing Asante Samuel to free agency, and it's certainly a big loss.  Then the Pats go out and sign Jason Webster and Fernando Bryant.  What are your thoughts on those signings in particular?  How confident are you in this secondary as it stands right now? MaPatsFan: I think Jason and Fernando are clearly "filler" until the rookies Terrence Wheatley and Jonathan Wilhite come up-to-speed.  My biggest concern with our linebackers and secondary was a) age (too old and too young) and b) departure of key individuals like Samuel.  We needed some experience until the young guys started to produce at an NFL level.  I think those concerns have been somewhat addressed with the guys you mentioned.Many have singled out the departure of ...

Joey, Joey, Joey

Around The AFC East: New England Patriots
2008-05-23 16:30:00
Moving on to the 2nd installment of this week's "Around The AFC East," we now turn our attention to the New England Patriots.  And helping us out is the relatively new blogger over at Pats Pulpit (who is doing a hell of a job, by the way), MaPatsFan.  His response to my question is below.  Head over to his site to see how I responded to his question. Matty I: I haven't really talked with you about last season's Super Bowl, so let's start with that game.  Seemingly everybody thought the Pats would win that game and complete the perfect season.  What exactly went wrong in that game?  Do you blame the offensive line the most for not keeping Tom Brady protected?  Are the coaches also to blame for not really making any adjustments? MaPatsFan:From a philosophical level, I think the Patriots bought into the hype.  They were the heir apparent to the "Perfect Season" crown and paid the price.  NE came to put the crowning achievement on their ...
