Media Roundup: Ian Rapoport (A.K.A. Rapsheet) Will Be Missed – SB Nation Boston
Love the recap of the lead up to Rapoport’s hiring. Admittedly I was one of those who boycotted the Herald after the Tomase incident and the Rapsheet won me back.

Media Roundup: Ian Rapoport (A.K.A. Rapsheet) Will Be Missed – SB Nation Boston

According to Howard Bryant of the Washington Post, citing NFL.com, “Lloyd suffered through the worst season for a starting receiver in the Super Bowl era… No starting No. 2 wide receiver in the NFL started more games (12) while producing less (23 catches, 365 yards).” Lloyd never made it out of Joe Gibbs doghouse, due to a questionable attitude and alleged poor work ethic. On Sunday, November 4, 2007, Lloyd was listed among Redskins inactives as the team traveled to play against the New York Jets. Citing the reason behind the move, Gibbs said that Lloyd had been told to remain behind in Washington as disciplinary action for missing important team meetings. Lloyd would spend the latter part of the 2007 season on injured reserve after having snapped his collar bone while making a diving touchdown catch during team practice. On February 26, 2008, the Redskins released Lloyd, who caught only two passes for 14 yards for the 2007 season.
Don’t mean to throw cold water on the bevy of media appearances Lloyd has made in the last two days expressing his interest in playing for the Pats, which are starting to reek a little of desperation, but let’s not forget how the Redskins couldn’t get rid of him fast enough.
Schematically signing Lloyd still makes sense given his production with McDaniels, and yes people do mature but it’s not like there’s zero question marks surrounding the potential for Pats interest in him.

PFF rated Wilfork as the game’s 6th-best run-stopper. Denver’s Brodrick Bunkley was tops with 11.3% stops. Wilfork made stops on 8.7% of the plays. In 334 run snaps, Wilfork had 34 tackles, four assists, with 29 “run stops” that killed the play.

Belichick is a brilliant planner who creates a mental map of each game, then plays it out in his mind before his team has to play it out on the field. His complex schemes work like a kaleidoscope: with each little twist they present different pictures to the opposition. Steve Sabol on Belichick vs. Lombardi
