Still time left to get cheap tix!!! New England Patriots vs. New Orleans Saints @ Gillette Stadium on Thursday, Aug 9, 2012 – 7:30 PM
The Patriots’ first defensive unit in 11-on-11s included Rob Ninkovich, Kyle Love, Vince Wilfork, Chandler Jones, Bobby Carpenter, Dont’a Hightower, Jerod Mayo, Devin McCourty, Kyle Arrington, Patrick Chung and Steve Gregory.

Alright, I’m just going to say it, I’ll be surprised if Bobby Carpenter doesn’t make the team and contribute on defense. It’s clear that Brandon Spikes is again battling an injury and it would seem that Carpenter is a more versatile fit with Hightower than Dane Fletcher is. At least at this point.

Tweets of note from Tuesday’s Patriots-Saints joint practice
Hernandez 1-handed catch on 50 yd bomb from. Brady.1-on-1 drills patently unfair w these 2 QBs

#Patriots rookie DE Chandler Jones is a well-times batted pass against #Saints QB Drew Brees in team drills.

Brees picked by Gregory in 11 on 11s. Nice INT.

Not a good practice overall for the Patriots. Were good until team drills, and then Saints won the day.

Patriots offensive line had a rough day.

General feeling is that Bill Belichick will find a lot of teaching moments from this practice tape. Patriots’ offense looked sloppy.

Classic Dennis… sets up this whole Patriots offense as how great the personnel is, then ends with the question “tell us why Tom Brady and the offense might NOT have a record setting year”. Because that’s what Pats fans want to know right? Yeah it all looks good on paper but can you please take a big dump all over that? At least Bedard gives them a “I don’t see a reason why” response.
I think what’s clear to me now is that I need to re-edit any Patriots-related Dennis-Callahan interviews and just take out Dennis-Callahan. They. Are. The. Worst.
But good stuff from Bedard… Most interesting undermentioned point? Can Ridley (or anyone else) get those tough short yards that Law Firm was so adept at?
Which former Patriot player will have the best season in 2012? :All Things Pats

Great different perspective here. Of all these guys it’s hard to root for anyone in the division especially with Mark Anderson coming for Brady, but you can’t help but wish nothing but the best the the Law Firm, and Randy Moss was a special player who will always have a special place in my heart.
Like almost every other team, I think the Patriots hit a rough patch in the draft from 2006-2008. I think they have since come back very strong. The Gronkowski/Hernandez picks are game-changers. In the end, I think Bill Belichick has been overseeing a transition from an older team in 2007, and to turn it over and still win consistently, it is an impressive thing to see.
