No Need for 300, Just Give Tom Brady Five

Thursday, February 2nd, 2012
Patriots Giants Super Bowl

THIS... IS... BOSTON!

NEPD Editor: James Christensen

In the battle of Thermopylae, made famous by the movie “300″, the Persian King Xerxes trotted out a seemingly never-ending procession of exotic warriors.

Perry Fewell, defensive coordinator for the Giants, has a similar array of weapons aimed at disrupting the Patriots passing attack.

The Patriots offensive line, just like the Spartan heroes on the silver screen, will need to hold out for as long as they can. Fortunately for New England, their blockers will need to be vigilant for only around three seconds, as opposed to three days.

Dolphins vs Patriots: The Aftermath

Saturday, December 24th, 2011

NEPD Staff Writer: Doug Kyed

It was no Christmas Carol, but if Charles Dickens wrote this game, it would be called “A Tale of Two Halves.”

At this point, we’re used to the Patriots starting off slow, but we’re not exactly used to the Patriots starting out slow for an entire half. That first half was by far the worst we’ve seen the Patriots offense play. I put very little blame on the Patriots defense. They didn’t have time to get off the field with all the three and outs Brady and co. were supplying.

Here’s some observations I made during the game:

Logan Mankins: Patriot for Life

Wednesday, August 10th, 2011

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com, the Patriots and guard Logan Mankins have come to terms on a six-year contract.

After the terse back and forth during the 2010 season with the Patriots front office and Mankins’ agent Frank Bauer, this comes as great news for Patriots fans and the Patriots offense alike.

Terms of the deal have yet to be disclosed, but one would assume that Mankins’ 2011 cap figure will be significantly lower than the $10m he was slated to earn under the franchise tag.

Nick Kaczur Injury

Nick Kaczur's back injury further detiorates the Patriots offensive-line depth. Is a roster move forthcoming?

According to a WEEI report, Nick Kaczur’s eleven session absence from Patriots training camp is due to a “significant” back injury. Kaczur hasn’t been ruled out of the 2010 NFL season, “but the prospects for a return any time soon remain grim.”

Changing of the (Offensive) Guard: Open Thread

Logan Mankins Trade

Patriots guard Logan Mankins wants to be traded.

Let’s hypothetically grant Mr. Mankins his wish.  He wants traded, so let’s trade him. Come up with the trade that realizes the most value for the Patriots, but is still realistic and beneficial to the trade partner as well. We’ll get things started…

Logan Mankins-Branch

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

It was a pretty interesting couple of days while we were out, thanks to Jared, Ryan, Starfish, and all the others for keeping the discussion going in our absence.

Evidently, Logan Mankins is more like Deion Branch than we thought. It is never easy to choose sides between a millionaire player and a billionaire owner, but the reported $7 million dollar per year offer sounded very reasonable to me. I think Tedy Bruschi sums up Patriot fan worries very well in the video below. (short advertisement first)
