    McCourty is fast, has good ball skills, and understands the defense. None of his other actual safeties fit that bill as well. On the flip side, McCourty was having trouble as a cover corner this year at least in part because he wasn’t getting adequate safety help. BB probably decided that, while he had a stable of adequate corners, he did not have a stable of adequate safeties. Any corner put in McCourty’s position would struggle the same way he had without an upgrade in the middle. But moving McC to the middle was an upgrade that could make barely adequate corners more serviceable. At…

    26 Jan 2012 | 9:44 am
    Yesterday, the Patriots placed TE Dorin Dickerson on the practice squad injured reserve. Today, the Patriots have announced the signing of TE Carson Butler to the Patriots practice squad. Butler is a 6-4, 260 lbs tight end who was part of the 2009 NFL Draft class (undrafted). He bounced around the league on numerous practice squads as a rookie. Butler spent the 2010 NFL season with the New England Patriots on the practice squad and was with the Patriots through camp. Butler has 4.5 40 yard dash speed and will most likely provide insurance if Rob Gronkowski is unable to play the Super Bowl.

Everyone knows he had a monster game, everyone has heard that if you look closely at the tape it's even more impressive than it looked. What shocked me the most about his performace was that it was against probably the best Guards-and-Center trio in the entire league. Those three Pro-Bowlers(or equivilant talent) got chewed up. Put him up there with two other beefy guys and tell them to just keep banging away at the interior of the G-Men's…

    I am not trying to toot my own horn (maybe a little). But read this article Relax? yup that I wrote following the last Giants game. I think its something to ponder whenever things look to good or to bad with this team. Going into this game I think the fact that we did not play great during the Ravens game is a good thing, give me a second to explain. Lets say we blew out the Ravens. Then all the fans would be talking about how the Giants would be getting squashed (especially following the Broncos game). Instead people are giving it a more levelheaded take. Look, we're in the Superbowl again.

Of course, I am not telling you anything you don't already know, but I thought you might be interested to hear what an outsider thinks of the New England Patriots' organization. Quite simply, you are the gold standard of the NFL. You will not win Super Bowls every year - no one does. The competition is fierce and others will take their turn. However, you still set the bar for the rest of the league. If any team (AFC…

  • Pats Pregame Points: Before the Big Game, Week One

    Chris Warner
    26 Jan 2012 | 5:00 am
    By Chris Warner, Patriots Daily Staff That’s one way to make it to Indianapolis. Relying on their defense to overcome an uncharacteristic performance from Tom Brady, New England held on for a 23-20 stomach-cramp win. With two weeks until the big game, this column will be more devoted to the AFC Championship than to Destiny in Indy (which may or may not be the title of an adult film). So put off tolerating highlights of a certain previous Super Bowl and bask in the glory of New England’s fifth AFC win since January 2001. Billy, Don’t Be A Hero: Despite our rooting interest, we must feel…

  • Making The Grades – AFC Championship, Patriots vs. Ravens

    Bruce Allen
    24 Jan 2012 | 10:01 am
    By Jeremy Gottlieb, Patriots Daily Professor Well, then. Now that almost 48 full hours have passed and all of us have likely caught our breath, we can examine more clearly and coherently then Patriots stirring, improbable, 23-20 win over the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship. The win, which sends the Pats to their seventh Super Bowl and fifth under the magical tandem of Bill Belichick and Tom Brady (the most of any QB/coach combo of all time), was maddening, scintillating, ugly, glorious and completely perplexing, sometimes all at once. The Pats won with defense and physicality and if…

  • Pats Pregame Points: AFC Championship

    Chris Warner
    19 Jan 2012 | 5:00 am
    By Chris Warner, Patriots Daily Staff We had almost forgotten the feeling: a heady mix of excitement and contentment after winning a playoff game can make for a fun week. At least until the Ravens start talking. As nice as it would be to take some of New England’s points with them from their 45-10 Broncos corral, it’s on to a new (and much different) opponent as Baltimore comes to Foxboro. It’s A Shame About Rays: Linebacker Ray Lewis has been around so long it seems like he’s 50 years old, but he continues to play like a crazy dude gunning for the guy who threatened his sister. The…

    17 Jan 2012 | 1:18 pm
    OK, class. Let’s see a show of hands. How many of you were at all worried about the Patriots Divisional round playoff matchup with the Denver Broncos on Saturday night? How many of you worried that the legend of Tim Tebow would come down off of the mountain top, part the Gillette Stadium turf and ride on to another biblical victory? Who among you was convinced that the combination of Denver’s college style running game, the Patriots season-long problems on defense and Tebow’s mystical ability to metaphorically turn water to wine would spell another first-round, playoff exit, the Pats…

  • Patriots Buffet Table – Patriots vs Broncos, Version II

    by Patriots Daily Kitchen Staff A rematch against the Running Tebows. They’re not the team X we’ve been told to worry about, but I guess they’re Team Xtian. What to Eat? The good news is the regulations preventing slaughtering horses for human food finally expired. The bad news is no one has taken advantage of this exciting business opportunity yet. Oh well, the Pats play the Broncos and Colts next year, fingers crossed. One of the signature concessions at Mile High is the Broncos Brat. A 1/3rd pound bratwurst with grilled onions, peppers and sauerkraut. Denver…

  • Mayo: Earlier injuries a "blessing in disguise"

    27 Jan 2012 | 4:39 pm
    By Tim BrittonFOXBORO, Mass. -- It's a bit unusual for a team to be so much healthier at the end of a season than in the middle of it, but that's the case with both the Patriots and Giants entering Super Bowl XLVI. But having to live through a spate of midseason injuries has made New England tougher, according to linebacker Jerod Mayo. "It helped develop our mental toughness. At the same time, it helped our versatility, being able to put different players in the game and doing things like that really helped us," said Mayo, referring to the team's brief two-game slide earlier this season. "The…

  • Branch thankful to all his coaches

    27 Jan 2012 | 4:34 pm
    By Tim BrittonFOXBORO, Mass. -- Participating in a Super Bowl affords a player the opportunity to reflect on his path to football's biggest game. Patriots wide receiver Deion Branch remembers each checkpoint on his long journey to the NFL. As he does toward the end of every season, Branch has spent the past week reaching out to as many of his former football coaches as possible, just to remind them how much he appreciates what they've done for him. "Every year I always talk to them, just letting them know that I appreciate them and that everything that I'm doing, they have a big part in it,"…

  • Report: Pats expect Gronkowski to have surgery after Super Bowl

    27 Jan 2012 | 2:51 pm
    By Corey BourassaIan Rapoport of the Boston Herald wrote on his Twitter account this afternoon that the expectation is that tight end Rob Gronkowski will need surgery on his injured ankle once the Super Bowl is done. Gronkowski has a high ankle sprain that he suffered in the AFC Championship game against Baltimore. He is listed as questionable on the injury report but is expected to play in the Super Bowl.

  • Branch responds to Tuck: "Tom's not a snake"

    27 Jan 2012 | 2:07 pm
    By Tim BrittonFOXBORO, Mass. -- On Friday in New York, defensive end Justin Tuck told reporters the Giants needed to get to Tom Brady because "the way to kill a snake is to take off its head." Patriots wide receiver Deion Branch couldn't help laughing at the notion. "If that's the analogy they're taking, that's what it is. Our job is to go out and protect our guy; protect the snake. Make sure he doesn't get his head cut off," said Branch. "I don't know. I know the snake is dead if you cut his head off -- a real snake. Tom's not a snake, though." Jokes and biological comparisons aside, Branch…
