.@tkyles39 explains why #Patriots MUST extend Christian Gonzalez:
“He is still an elite cornerback. Arguably the best player in his position and at the very least you could argue that he has the potential to pass Pat Surtain at some point to become the true #1 cornerback in the NFL.”
"Before the season I think there's a good chance Christian Gonzalez gets a new deal..
I imagine he's gonna get a huge deal I just don't know if it's imminent" ~ @RapSheet#PMSLive
There is a “good chance” the #Patriots extend CB Christian Gonzalez before the season begins, per @RapSheet.
“I imagine he is going to get a huge deal. I imagine the Patriots will make it work. I just don’t know that it’s going to be imminent.”

Most teams have one elite defender.
The Spurs have three of the top four lowest opponent FG% marks in the entire playoffs.
This isn't defense.
It's a lockdown operation.
The youngest Finals team in 50 years just happens to be a defensive nightmare.
"I want to see AJ Brown in the slot ... I want to see those mismatches against safeties, linebackers, smaller slot corners." -- @tkyles39
FULL Reaction to A.J. Brown's first practice with the #Patriots: https://t.co/qf6jeMNsLM
A.J. Brown, when asked about his knee:
"No injury. Nothing to worry about."
"Maybe in what, four years? I've missed one game from a shot to the knee, so that's nothing to worry about. I'm good. I'm ready to go."

Does the AFC run the Patriots following the trade for A.J. Brown?
@DougKyed weighs in:
“Things don't all need to go perfectly for the Patriots to win the division, make the playoffs, possibly get to a Super Bowl. Like they're talented enough at this point to do those things on their own without the benefit of a weaker schedule.”
Mike Vrabel on the acquisition of A.J. Brown and their relationship:
"To be able to add an accomplished NFL football player at his position, but somebody that we also feel strongly about as a person and a competitor and a teammate."

@CLNSMedia | Q: @kguregian
I cannot applaud the #Patriots front office enough for what they have done to upgrade this team over the last two seasons. Mike Vrabel, Eliot Wolf and Ryan Cowden have done an exceptional job of bringing in talent to ensure what happened years ago doesn't happen again.
Pop Douglas is a passing camp superstar. We’ll see if it can translate, but he looked great on Tuesday.
Several crisp routes that turned into wide open receptions.
.@tkyles39 on what he’s seen from Patriots WR room after 2 practices:
“One thing that has surprised me though through two practices, it seems like Efton Chism has out snapped Kyle Williams by a pretty decent margin.”
"A.J. Brown deserves a great pocket quarterback. Well, he got one yesterday... He is the perfect icing to the New England cake."
