He said he's playing.Any news on Spillane?
This is interesting, considering as far as I know Dobbs is the backup ahead of emergency DeVito. You feel confident that your assessment of those players is better than that of the Patriots coaching staff?I mean, he's better than Josh Dobbs. I don't know that he's right now better than DeVito, but that's just because there's not a hell of a lot of data there.
He said the same thing about the 49ers.This is more interesting. Unexpected that he would have said it explicitly, but it's been between the lines in a bunch of stuff from Crosby recently.

How Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson went from tragedy to Super Bowl LX
How a phone call, cross-country flight and ensuing texts built a bond between Rhamondre Stevenson and a Patriots coach that brought out the best in the star running back.www.bostonherald.com
I already said my piece long ago about how well Vrabel handled this. Much admiration for bringing RS back into the fold.

Yeah, belichick probably wouldn't have been nurturing the way they were, but I'm not so sure he wouldn't have privately handled things a lot more differently than people would have expected him to. That's the problem with his being so close mouthed about everything is that we will never know.Remember he used to meet with laurence maroney personally to help him through his struggles.Now substitute Belichick for Vrabel.
I got it wrong too. I wanted him gone.![]()

I remember people being mad that he kept putting ridley out there.Ridley had some serious fumbling problems. with stevenson, this was really his first issue if i'm not mistaken.bb also dealt with faulk's issuess. faulk's having the fumbling issues and then becoming a very valuable player on this team is what made me try to be more patient with the fumblers. ridley was the only one who just kept fumbling if I remember correctly.I am not calling out Bill as a person. But the fumbles....
