Huh.

The Patriots have suspended rookie defensive lineman Brandon Deaderick, according to a source close to the situation.

Deaderick, a seventh-round draft choice out of Alabama, dressed for 10 games this season (four starts). Coaches credited him with 17 tackles and he had two sacks.

Deaderick's playing time had tailed off considerably since Nov. 25 at Detroit, when he was inactive after a stretch of seven games in which he dressed. Entering the postseason, he projected as a backup adding depth along a defensive line that has been hit with injuries.

Meanwhile, a former teammate of Deaderick's at Alabama, defensive lineman Lorenzo Washington, was released from the Patriots' practice squad on Monday.

The Patriots have battled injuries along the defensive line, with Myron Pryor (back/eye), Mike Wright (concussion) and Ron Brace (concussion/elbow) all missing time in recent weeks. Brace was placed on season-ending injured reserve Monday with an elbow injury.

The Patriots had four defensive linemen in for tryouts, including former Patriot Le Kevin Smith. The other linemen in for workouts were Alfonso Boone, Ryan Sims and Atiyyah Ellison.

NFP says he was repeatedly late for meetings.

Fatty Ryan takes a shot at Brady even when his team is playing the Colts, TF

"Nobody studies like [Peyton Manning]," said Ryan. "I know Brady thinks he does and all that stuff. I think there's probably a little more help from Belichick with Brady than there is with Peyton Manning."

There would be some who call this mind games but I don't think Rex is that clever...sometimes a moron is just a moron. Maybe he just hopes he has to stick a foot in his mouth.

Wright finally goes to IR, and now Deaderick isn't suspended anymore? Odd.

Tony Dungy was on PTI last, He says Rex is very calculating and those comments were all planned.

Well, Poodle Pete got a playoff win, but that sixth-round pick we got from New Orleans in the David Thomas trade will now be no lower than No. 24.

Now it's Indy-NYJ. Seems to me like the NYJs have the better team, but I picked New England to win nine games, so what do I know?

Right. After the Patriots win next week the Steelers will have to go to Foxboro...assuming they get by the Ravens.

Of course, we have a ways to go first...

Re: Patriots 2010: the Year We Make Contracts

I'm watching the Ryan post game news conference, he's so dissimilar from Belichick it's not even funny.

"I'm not focused on next week, I've earned the right to talk about the Colts and focus on the Colts!"

Whereas Belichick is usually already talking about next week during these interviews.
