NEPD Editor: Mike Loyko

With the offseaon slated to get into full swing this week with the NFL combine, I take a position by position look at where the Patriots roster stands. What are the biggest needs, where are they set and what will they likely target.

In Decemeber I did I similar article breaking down the Patriots roster and where it stood. Now that the Patriots came within two minutes of winning another Super Bowl, I take a look where does their roster stand now.

With the combine coming up this week, it will give fans a perspective of exactly what the Patriots will be looking for on March 13th when unrestricted free agency opens and when the draft comes in late April. It can also be a guide for fans who are looking to do mock drafts for the Patriots.

Toledo WR Eric Page Interview

Thursday, February 16th, 2012

Could Eric Page be an option for the Patriots at the WR position?

NEPD Editor: Mike Loyko

Toledo Star WR Eric Page took the time out of his busy training schedule to answer questions about the draft process and his college career. Eric was tremendously insightful and his knowledge of the game shines through in his answers.

In a year where there are literally upwards of 40 WRs that could be drafted, it’s going to be tough to stand apart from the pack. It’s likely to be the intangibles and the off the field work ethic that will make a player stand out more so than his workouts and stat line. It’s clear to me after only 20 minutes of conversation that Eric Page has the intangibles that will seperate him from the pack.

NEPD Editor: Doug Kyed

Two long weeks of waiting and the Super Bowl is finally almost upon us.

There’s a lot to be decided in Saturday’s game.

Will Tom Brady go down as the greatest quarterback in NFL history? Will Bill Belichick go down as the greatest coach in NFL history? Will Eli Manning pass his brother in Super Bowl rings?

Will Tom Coughlin be the Tom Flores of this generation? Will Danny Woodhead return a kick passed the 22 yard line? Will Ochocinco be sitting next to Peyton Manning in the owners’ box? Will Dane Fletcher ever not drop back into coverage when he’s lined up at defensive tackle?
