Bill Belichick Conference Call - 9/7/2010
7 Sep 13:20 | Sports
Patriots head coach Bill Belichick addresses the media during his conference call on Tuesday, September 7, 2010. BB: We're full steam ahead here on the Bengals. They're a very impressive team. We've seen a lot of them. We've seen a lot of them from last year and then of course added in the preseason games this year to stay on top of everything. They do a real good job from top to bottom. [They're] well-coached, fast, athletic on defense. They've added some fire power on the offensive side of the ball. [They have] a good running game and some good receivers and kick returners and they're very strong on the return game on special teams. It's a lot to get ready for. [It's a] tough opener, but they all are. All those opening games are tough just [with] the amount of preparation and all the different things that can happen. It all settles down in a little while here, but right now we are doing scouting reports on a lot of games and a lot of information. I'm sure they're doing the same thingread more »
Nick Caserio Conference Call - 9/7/2010
7 Sep 11:30 | Sports
Patriots Director of Player Personnel Nick Caserio addresses the media during his conference call on Tuesday, Septemer 7, 2010. Q: How important is it to get the Tom Brady contract done before the season starts so the club can put it behind and move forward with the season? NC: Right, I don't have anything to add on what's been reported or anything to report on our end. Like everything contract related, that remains between the players and the representatives in the club. From a player's perspective, the most important thing going into the opening game of the season is that the players focus on the game and on the opponent. So, that's where I think the players' focus is. That's where the coaches' focus is and collectively, as an organization, that's what we're focused on – starting the season, getting off on the right foot against a good team and start to move in the right direction. I think that's where we are right now. Q: Can other players look at a long-term contract and use read more »

7 Sep 11:00 | Sports
Patriots quarterbacks coach Bill O'Brien addresses the media during his conference call on Tuesday, September 7, 2010. Q: Randy Moss told us yesterday that he felt like he was unwanted in New England. Are you surprised to hear that? Have you gotten that feeling from him personally at all? BO: He's never said anything like that to me. Since the day he's walked in here, he's been a productive, excellent player for us and a very professional player. I feel really good about our relationship with Randy, and that's how I feel. Q: How have you seen Randy Moss improve or have you seen his game been refined this year in camp at all? BO: We spend a lot of time in the offseason talking about things we can do to improve our mechanics, and, early in training camp is a time when you can - and also in minicamp to a certain extent, really spend time on those things. I think we are always exploring ways to become more sound mechanically both with Tom [Brady] and Brian [Hoyer] and any other quarterbackread more »

During the weekend of Aug. 7 and 8, the Patriots Platelet Pedalers (PPP) biked across the Bay State, as they've done so many times before, from Sturbridge to Provincetown, at the very tip of Cape Cod. The two-day odyssey is just short of 200 miles total, and it's not exactly a leisurely, scenic ride.

Eisenberg: Houshmandzadeh Was A Financial Steal
6 Sep 18:48 | Sports
When the chance to insert T.J. Houshmandzadeh in their receiving corps in place of Mark Clayton presented itself over the weekend, the Ravens did what they had to do. They signed Houshmandzadeh and traded Clayton to the St. Louis Rams. They took the guy with almost twice as many catches over the past five years, the guy whose supposed down year in 2009 – 79 catches – was more productive than Clayton's best year (67 catches in 2006).read more »

Now that we're back in regular-season mode, we're only allowed access to view 15-20 minutes of Patriots practice per day, most of which consists of the team stretching period. We sometimes get to watch one or two individual/position drills. As a result, practice reports from now on will be extremely brief and limited in detail. With that, here are the newsworthy notes from Monday, Sept. 6read more »

6 Sep 11:30 | Sports
Patriots head coach Bill Belichick addresses the media during his press conference at Gillette Stadium on Monday, September 6, 2010. BB: It's been a busy couple days here with a lot of roster things, personnel transactions - not only ours, but just keeping up with everything else that's going on, or trying to. Then at the same time, [we're] getting ready for Cincinnati. That's a team that we first started with in the offseason and worked on through the preseason. They had the five preseason games, so we've kind of been keeping up with them each week. They're a good football team: well-coached, a lot of good players, good scheme. They're aggressive and do a lot of things well and they had a real good season last year in the regular season. They won their division - a good division, tough division. I have a lot of respect for them and what they do. We have a lot of work to do. It's a long week and we'll get started on it today. We did a little bit of an introduction there yesterday, but read more »
