The Patriots made some moves following Saturday’s pre-season win over the Titans. Here are my thoughts on the moves that were made this week. 1. The Patriots released Dontrelle Inman after the veteran receiver requested his release. Inman has since signed with the Chargers. Inman saw the writing on the wall. He knew he couldn’t beat out rookie Jakobi Meyers and he decided it was better to move on. 2….

Patriots: Josh Gordon is poised for a big year statistically. If he stays on the field
The NFL reinstated embattled wide receiver Josh Gordon on Friday. Gordon was indefinitely suspended in December for violating the league’s substance policy.

Gordon’s teammates in both Cleveland and New England speak highly about him on a…

UMass: Tempo will be the name of the game when it comes to the Minuteman offense this season
New UMass coach Walt Bell was hired to reinvigorate a program that was stuck in neutral under former coach Mark Whipple.

Bell was the offensive coordinator under Willie Taggert at Florida State last season where the Seminoles ran the “Gulf Coast” spread offense. Like most spread offenses, the Seminoles…

The Patriots also re-signed Phillip Dorsett and gave Julian Edelman an extension. Here is a break down of the six receivers we think will be…
Boston College: The 2019 Eagles will go as Anthony Brown goes
For the Boston College Eagles, the 2019 season will go as junior quarterback Anthony Brown goes. Brown has flashed elite potential at times but inconsistent play and injuries have kept him from playing to his potential.
