This is a slightly modified segment of one that was run on NFL FanHouse last year, in which a specific team blogger scours the internet and interviews a blogger of the opposing team.I began this season by interviewing Tom-Masse of Pats Pulpit, a Sports Blog Nation column that covers the New England Patriots.
Dan Benton: "The Patriots went wild during free agency this offseason. Which of New England's many additions do you believe will play the most significant role throughout the season?"
Tom-Masse: "If you limit the discussions to free agents, linebacker Adalius Thomas will have the most significant impact, especially now that Richard Seymour is on the physically unable to perform list for at least 6 weeks and Rodney Harrison is serving a 4-week suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy.
Thomas is a Patriots kind of player. He is very versatile, and he's willing to do what's necessary to help the team. With Tedy Brucshi, Mike Vrabel and Junior Seau a year older, Thomas also gives Bill Belichick and his defensive staff more options and a legitimate threat so those other three guys can get more rest. Don't be surprised to see some very creative defensive sets from New England this season."
