Editor's note: Jeff Howe will review each position on the Patriots' roster every day through Feb. 13. This edition highlights the cornerbacks. Heading into the 2011 season, the Patriots looked to be very deep at cornerback, but the position played out in unpredictable fashion. Devin McCourty couldn't repeat his performance from his rookie season, and Leigh Bodden (injury, ineffectiveness, unhappiness with role) and Darius Butler (ineffectiveness) were each released. Also, rookie Ras-I Dowling had minimal contributions due to a hamstring injury. With that, Kyle Arrington continued to step up and was their most consistent cornerback during a season when they...

February 05, 2012
It’s sometimes said that certain people are born to do a certain job. That may never be more fitting than in the case of New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski. Gronkowski was born in Amherst New York on May 14th 1989. He was 11 years old when Tom Brady and the Patriots won their first Super Bowl against the St Louis Rams. Jermaine Wiggins was the Patriots...

Now’s not the time for a contract extension for Rob Gronkowski. Or is it?
Rob Gronkowski’s rookie deal takes him through the 2013 season, so there’s need to worry about the tight end and free agency in the immediate future. But it might be wise for the Patriots, as well as Gronk’s camp to get the ball rolling on discussions at some point this year.
In the lead to my NFL Sunday notes today, I examined the benefits for both sides being...

Eric Edholm of Pro Football Weekly believes Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots could try and sign Houston Texans defensive end/linebacker Mario Williams once he becomes a free agent on March 13th.
I honestly don’t see Belichick going after Williams, since he was still able to get a solid pass rush this season with Mark Anderson, Vince Wilfork and Andre Carter. And...

Brady spiral
The media should be talking about how Brady drove down the field and the Patriots won the Super Bowl. We should be spreading word that Belichick and Brady are the best combo ever, that they should rename the trophy to Belichick-Lambardi trophy. That Joe Montana now has a superior, but all that talk stood still.
Instead we heard of controversy and questions. The first of is this...
