Into The Mythic

Once upon a time, Bill Belichick buried a football.

In yesterday's practice, Tom Brady punted a football into the crowd.

We're all subject to the objective correlative.

Way Too Early To Tell Anything

Sometimes we glimpse the future. Sometimes all we see is a moment about to become history. Maybe it's one and the same. Could Ralph Webb be Dion Lewis 2.0? Only in the sense that he might get claimed off waivers by the Cleveland Browns when the Patriots try to slip Webb through to the practice squad.

I do think Kyle Van Noy was right when he said the Patriots defense would surprise people. I know I was surprised. We all thought they were going to be better than that, didn't we?

Maybe there's nothing to be learned from the preseason other than who your swing tackle is going to be.

I sure hope so.

Best Case Scenario

The draft is done but Bill Belichick isn't. The roster never sleeps. There isn't easier money than betting that there's a player not currently on New England's 90-man roster who will be making a play for the Patriots in October or November. Belichick and Nick Caserio have ranked the Pats roster 1 through 90 and they are actively looking for someone better than their 90th best player right now.

Get Ready To Do Your Job

At some point you find yourself watching the highlight reel of a 7th round tight end and you're thinking, hey, this guy is pretty good. Then you check out his stats and realize you just saw every reception he made his senior season. In a minute and 30 seconds.

Now It's A Party

Like Chuck Norris, Bill Belichick doesn't sleep.

He waits.

That's How The Movie Starts

Jimmy was having a bad day.

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

They've been to 3 of the last 4 Super Bowls. That's pretty good. So why do I think massive changes will be coming to the New England Patriots in 2018?

Because they always are, it seems. And because... well, you know.
