Patriots 2011 Inside Linebackers Preview: Mayo, Guyton, Spikes

By ⋅ August 2, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

In a Bill Belichick-coached 3-4 (3 down linemen, 4 linebackers) defensive scheme, the linebacker position has always been considered paramount to success. The system hinges on the defensive line taking up space and handling multiple offensive linemen, while versatile linebackers take advantage. (Note: This is why D-lineman never rack up huge amounts of sacks in [...]

By ⋅ December 8, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

“Outcoached.” “Outplayed.” “A total butt whooping.” Yup Rex, that about sums it up. How fun was Monday night’s 45-3 blowout win over the hated Jets? I mean really, with all the hype leading up to that game… the “game of the year,” as ESPN and the NFL was touting it… how flippin’ sweet was that [...]

It was the match-up of the season: the New England Patriots versus the New York Jets, the two best teams in the AFC. The Patriots were unbeaten at home, having won 25 straight at Gillette. The Jets were unbeaten on the road this season. At stake: the lead in the AFC East and the best [...]

Thanks to a 28-18 victory over the Minnesota Vikings, the New England Patriots (6-1) own the best record in the NFL heading into their game with the Cleveland Browns (2-5) this Sunday.

PATS on the Back: Week 8 vs. Minnesota

By ⋅ November 1, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

6-1, the best record in the NFL. Who would’ve believed that a team that lost their best cornerback (Leigh Bodden) and one of their most reliable defensive lineman (Ty Warren) in the preseason, then lost their third down back (Kevin Faulk) to season-ending injury, then traded away a former first rounder (Laurence Maroney) and a [...]

Green-Ellis ran for 112 yards and two touchdowns- the first multiple-touchdown game of his career- Sunday, and the New England Patriots [...]

Video: Patriots LB Brandon Spikes Sex Tape?

By ⋅ September 1, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Brandon Spikes does a great job of tackling tight ends — on and off the field. On the field, the Patriots tape game footage (legally of course. We wouldn’t want another Spygate would we?) of their rookie linebacker and review that game footage to make him better. Off the field, Spikes apparently taped a sexual [...]

Patriots 2010 Preview: The Linebackers

By ⋅ June 14, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

It was 2007. The Patriots were fresh off a victory against their rivals the Colts and were 9-0 en route to a perfect season. For their mid-season special, Sports Illustrated ran a cover featuring the heart of the Patriots. It wasn’t Brady. Or Moss. Or even Belichick. It was the entire linebacking unit. Tedy Bruschi, [...]

2010 NFL Draft Preview: New England Patriots

By ⋅ April 22, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s that time of year again. The time when we can all gather and watch a bunch of kids younger than us make millions of dollars just by getting their name called on a podium. The Patriots can go many different ways in this draft, but one thing is for sure; they will go after [...]
