The Patriots pre-season roster is deep – really deep. Just how deep are they? Well, I decided to take an in depth look at the current roster and rank the players from top to bottom based on a combination of talent and the likelihood they will make the team.

It really paints a picture of how deep the roster is and how many tough decisions the coaching staff will be faced with as training camp moves forward.

2012 Training Camp Preview: Linebackers

Tuesday, July 24th, 2012

Can Brandon Spike stay healthy for an entire season?

NEPD Editor: Mike Loyko

Training camp starts on Thursday and we begin to wind down our positional previews by taking a look at the linebackers on the current roster.

The Patriots have assembled a talented and young linebacker unit, mainly using high draft picks on the position. With roster spots limited, the linebackers along with the defensive backs, will be the toughest position to cut down.

Who will make the final 53 and will any surprise cuts occur?

Patriots vs Giants: Course Correction

Saturday, November 5th, 2011
Patriots vs Giants Jerod Mayo

Jerod Mayo patrolling the middle of the field would help alleviate a lot of the Patriots defensive woes.

NEPD Staff Writer: Doug Kyed

If I see another clip of that helmet catch… I’ll probably do nothing, except be really mad.

The Patriots will try to bounce back after a tough loss against the Steelers when the Giants come into town on Sunday. Consecutive games against the Steelers, Giants and Jets pointed out to me just how many teams I consider the Patriots rivals.

If I were to rank the current Patriots rivalries it would probably go: 1. Jets 2. Steelers 3. Colts 4. Dolphins 5. Ravens 6. Chargers 7. Giants 8. Bills.

Regardless of how you rank those teams, after Super Bowl 42, this game/rivalry definitely means something to Patriots fans.

Here’s what I’ll be looking for late Sunday afternoon:

Patriots vs Raiders: Keys to Victory

Monday, October 3rd, 2011

NEPD Staff Writer: Doug Kyed

With a day to digest the Patriots latest triumph, I’ve grown to be far more optimistic than I was immediately following it. Of course, watching the Jets last night might have helped up that optimism leading into next week but still, what we saw yesterday was a classic, almost vintage, Brady-Belichick Patriots victory.

The Patriots stopped what they needed to, did a decent job of clock control, and played a bend but don’t break defense.

Waking Up: Thomas Williams

Thursday, June 17th, 2010
Patriots Thomas Williams

Who is your sleeper to make the Patriots squad in 2010?

Every year, fans and media types pick their sleepers, binkies, favorites, whatever you want to call them, to make the 53-man roster this August. Much has been made already about Thomas Williams, an inside-linebacker that weighs in at 248 pounds, that more than one writer has tagged as a sleeper for the 2010 squad.

Revisiting the 2007 NFL Draft

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010
Brandon Meriweather sacks Matt Leinart

Meriweather is the only 2007 Draft Pick still on the Patriots roster.

It’s now June in 2010 – after three seasons, many feel that one can accurately assess the success of a particular NFL Draft class. When a certain group of fans and media pundits look back at the 2007 NFL Draft for the New England Patriots, many see one of the worst drafts in history.  We are not members of that group.  Here are some notes on how each of the picks ended up.

Jerod Mayo Bucking to Play Broncos

Saturday, October 10th, 2009

Jerod Mayo is leaving on a jet plane, which is good news for Patriots. We didn’t know when he would be back again.

Setting John Denver lyrics aside, as the Patriots prepare for the Broncos of Denver, Jerod Mayo would instantly help out the sideline-to-sideline defense against the rushing attack of Knowshon Moreno. Correll Buckhalter won’t play in the game, but the shifty star from Georgia will present his own problems.

Mayo, who reportedly sprained his MCL during the opener versus Buffalo, packed a knee brace along with his travel necessities on Friday. The Patriots upgraded his status to questionable, giving him a 50/50 chance of suiting up this Sunday.

50/50 would be music to the ears of Pats RB Fred Taylor, who may miss the rest of the season after ankle surgery. Adalius Thomas, Vince Wilfork, and Wes Welker also missed some practice time, but each is expected to play.
