-Blogging off my iPhone today so no screenshot of my tweets from yesterday. You can see them (don't need a twitter account) at twitter.com/cultofbelichick
-Kyle Love Extended. 1 year up to 3 mil (still looking into specifics). He was set to be a restricted free agent after this year. The deal included a $500k signing bonus. I couldn't love this deal any more than I do (no pun intended but totally intended). This sets a great precedent. Love GREATLY outplayed his rookie deal and gets a cool half mil check for his performance. Additionally, this gives the Patriots an extra year to determine whether or not to give him a big extension (which he appears to be in line for). Guys in the locker room have to be excited about this because it shows that if you play well and do everything you are asked of, good things will happen. Here is a quote from his agent that stuck out to me, and really highlights the whole situation....."Kyle is appreciative of the Patriots for doing this at a time when they weren’t obligated to do so."
-Most players on field since 1st week of practice. Notables returning were Spencer Larsen, Alfonso Dennard, Tavon Wilson, along with Fells and Vollmer coming off PUP and Jeff Demps getting his first practice in.
-Not much news out of practice (aside from Schiano and Belichick trying to blow each other through the media) due to stupid restrictions, but the players were saying it was a tough practice, some even calling it a half-game. Can not wait for Friday. FOOTBALL IS UPON US.
-Chung not at practice. Chung is still out, and I'm thinking concussion. Let's hope it's not too bad and he can get back by Week 1. His injury isn't all bad though, because it means increased reps for Tavon Wilson (who lined up opposite Gregory) and Ebner. This can only help for the future.
