We see every year that players go down to injury. It is the
charmed year, here and there, when injuries are lighter than
others. For that reason, I am not losing sleep over Sanborn
getting less snaps. If he ends up being a core special teamer,
and play 30% of the defensive snaps, that is still a great
return. It is just a longer journey for the undrafted FA. I'm
glad we have him nd he could still be a core starter in the not
too distant future.

Lets face it Jack Sanborn was a good but not great super star
player. He has instincts, but lacks speed. If he had speed he
would have been a draft pick. If he had elite speed he would
have been a first round draft pick. I'm glad we got him, and
will be happy for him to be our 3rd LB.

Ya gotta remember Singletary wasn't exactly speedy either. He
was simply mean at the point of contact. Paired with a couple
rangy guys Sanborn can be a good fit here....

The Patriots are reportedly closing in on an experienced
addition to their offensive line.
Dianna Russini of ESPN reports that they are expected to sign
tackle Riley Reiff as a free agent. Teams can officially sign
free agents from other teams starting at 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday.
Reiff spent 2022 with the Bears and made 10 starts for the NFC
North club. He was a 2012 first-round pick of the Lions and
spent five years in Detroit before moving on for four years with
the Vikings. He spent the 2021 season in Cincinnati before
making the move to Chicago.
The Patriots have agreed to a deal with Calvin Anderson and
re-signed Conor McDermott to go with Trent Brown and restricted
free agent Yodny Cajuste, so the Patriots will have a number of
tackle options if Reiff’s deal becomes official.

Khalil Herbert is now RB1. I'm ok with that. Loved Monty but
it is what it is.

And Travis Homer is better at pass pro and receiving than
Herbert so he'll probably be in there on 3rd down and ST.
They'll draft someone in the later rounds to pressure Ebner to
shape up or ship out.

They'll need to pickup another back though..
I agree that the great players have instincts for the ball and
speed. But I'll take guys with the instinct for the ball over
speed.. We should be set at linebacker. After it's all said and
done, we may not be set on the d-line. Can't fix it all in one
year. Improve the d-line, and fix the o-line and we should see
drastic improvements with the addition at WR. We do need to
replace the empty spot left by Montgomery, as others have said,
I would be ok with the RB with the cool first name..
