PLAYERS: Brian Hartline,  Phillip Adams
TEAMS: Miami Dolphins,  New England Patriots
Dolphins_training_camp_7f7a
By Mike McDermott AP photo / Lynne Sladky Former Dolphin Nate Jones, left, with wide receiver Brian Hartline in 2009. The Patriots have signed eight-year veteran defensive back Nate Jones, the team announced today. Jones, 29, has played with Dallas, Miami and Denver. The Cowboys took Jones as a seventh-round draft pick out of Rutgers in 2004. Over the next four seasons, he played for Dallas in all but 13 games, primarily on special teams. He was an occasional defensive starter with the Dolphins in 2008 and 2009, and with the Broncos in 2010. He returned to Miami this season and played two early-season games before being released on Oct. 5. For his career, Jones has 163 tackles (59 on special teams), 6 sacks and 3 interceptions. Jones takes the roster spot that became free yesterday when the Patriots cut another defensive back, Phillip Adams.

FOXBORO, Mass. — It’s beginning to look like Patriots tackle Sebastian Vollmer will miss some time with an injury, and if that’s indeed the case, rookie Marcus Cannon is ready to take on an increased role if necessary. Vollmer was replaced at right tackle by rookie Nate Solder in the second half of Sunday’s victory against the Eagles. The Patriots originally announced it...

Edelman's hard work, instincts leading to defensive success

Via Projo Pats Blog  |  November 30, 2011
By Brian MacPhersonJulian Edelman might have made the Patriots' most impressive defensive play last Sunday against Philadelphia, wrapping up 230-pound quarterback Vince Young in the open field and tackling him shy of the goal line. Edelman finished with three tackles in the game, the same number as Jerod Mayo and Rob Ninkovich. But open-field tackling isn't new to Edelman...

Via Patriots Plus  |  November 30, 2011
Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll. To be honest with you, I firmly believe that the New England Patriots are the best team in the AFC. They have the most bendable defense in the league that thrives in the redzone and not to mention, Tom Brady is white hot as of right now. They’re going to be a very tough...

Three weeks by unofficial count. Over the course of that stretch, the Pats have embarked on a three-game winning streak during which they’ve rolled...

The Old Sod Gums Up Tom Brady

  DATELINE: HUMOR!   A funny thing happened to Tom Brady on the way to slicing and dicing the Philadelphia Eagles at their home field. Tom tried sliding to avoid the behemoth tacklers on the Philly side as he scrambled with the ball. We have seen better slides from Uncle Fred’s holiday in Poughkeepsie. It was not Brady’s fault as he dashed away for extra yards when...
