I have a lot of expectations for this year’s rookie class. First round pick Devin McCourty will get a lot of run, maybe as high as the third corner. The two tight ends will contribute almost immediately. Brandon Spikes will become a two-down run-stuffing ILB. Zoltan Mesko will win the punting job.

Free agency starts in about three weeks, but teams have been waiting more than a month for the shopping season to commence. I don’t know the complete list of free agents available, though already there are a few high profile names out there. But which of these players fit New England?

When a game in played in just over two and a half hours, there’s really not much to say:
1. After struggling on offense, the Pats exploded with 35 points. It was the most points in a game since the win over Tampa Bay in week seven. The 28 first half points was more than New England scored in a game the previous four weeks.

Because of that “loss,” the Pats hosted the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Wild Card game instead of facing Pittsburgh.
Was it cowardly to throw a game to avoid playing the hottest team in the playoffs? You could say that. But it was also ingenious by head coach Bill Belichick to arrange the best match-up for his team.

During Fred Taylor’s first four years in Jacksonville, he missed 24 of 64 games. Viewed as a fixture on the sideline instead of on the field, fans labeled the former Florida Gator running back “Fragile Fred.”

In the world of journalism, it's the greatest compliment when an article you wrote inspires others to express their own opinion on the same subject.
Back in February, I wrote an article asking the question should teams draft tight ends in the first round. It was a relevant question because Oklahoma State's Brandon Pettigrew could be the only TE selected within the first 32 picks.

sit with New England and Buffalo as he looks for a new team to play for after eleven years with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
While I would welcome Taylor if he decides to sign with the Patriots, that's not the only action New England should take to ensure quality depth at the position. I'm still on the Shonn Greene tip (a little more on him later).

According to The Boston Globe, DE Richard Seyour will miss today's game. With Big Sey is out, DE Jarvis Green probably starts in Richard's place.
While it's nothing new to the team, I'm going to repeat head coach Bill Belichick's mantra that worked so well in the past and this season:

I can't believe I'm about to say this. It makes me feel dirty just thinking about it. But it's what has to be done.
Go Jets.
Ugh! I'm gonna need a shower.
As much as I despise New York and their teams (the Yankees once again came through with more than $400 million reasons to hate them more this off-season), for once, I want the Jets to win.

I’m looking over Sunday’s games for week 11 of the NFL and I am slightly bored. Seriously, I am struggling to find a compelling storyline to follow.
I love the NFL and have for years, yet I hardly care about one single game that will be played tomorrow.

nt, the man many believe will be a starter at corner back:
Bryant was drafted 26th overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars (third corner selected) following a four-year career at the University of Alabama. Bryant was a two-way player, earning a All-SEC second team honors. His senior year Bryant was an All-American with six interceptions, 82 tackles, and 48 receptions.
