Logan Mankins recovering from ACL surgery, hopes to be ready for training camp. Well there’s a retroactive stomach punch for you. This clarifies a few items: When Belichick called Manking “Super Tough” he wasn’t kidding. Mankins likely played three playoff games against tough defensive fronts with the injury. Hard to know if it was a complete tear but regardless, Philip Rivers got a lot of love for playing just one game on a torn ACL. Mankins played three. Robert Gallery signing seems a little bigger now than it did Monday. Gallery has been at LG for the past few years and it would appear to be his best spot. Hopefully we won’t need him to start, but you can’t rule out a start to the season on the PUP for my Mankins. Mankins now will get a pass on his Super Bowl performance which lacked luster.

If Patriots fans are looking for an excuse as to why the Giants’ pass rush was able to dominate New England’s offensive line in the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl, Logan Mankins has provided them with a decent one.

The Patriots have gotten much more aggressive in free agency, and they're continuing to build the team as they get closer to the draft. The Patriots have added depth at several positions, putting themselves in a place where they won't have to necessarily reach for a particular position, though if they do, it will probably be on defense. But that's still a month away....

Vote: After Signing Brandon Lloyd, Should Patriots Release Chad Ochocinco?

Via NESN.com  |  March 18, 2012
The New England Patriots made a splash in free agency by inking wide receiver Brandon Lloyd to a three-year contract. And the addition of Lloyd only strengthens the Patriots already potent passing attack. New England tried to make a similar splash last year when they brought in veteran receiver Chad Ochocinco. That particular move did not go as planned. Ochocinco had just 15 catches...
