It’s been a long, tough road the Patriots this offseason. I won’t even talk about the way last season ended (forget I ever mentioned it), but I can say that this offseason has likely not gone exactly the way the Pats would have drawn it up had they the option of doing so. The Patriots have endured some big name defections of players to other teams, not to mention a nearly unprecedented level of media scrutiny (at least for the Patriots) over the entire Spygate scandal. However, with all of that behind them, the New England Patriots are ready to move into the preseason.
That preseason is just around the corner, and we have the preseason training camp schedules to prove it. Nothing terribly interesting or exciting here. It is, after all, just a schedule. But it’s really more what the schedule represents. These schedules mean that we are at this moment little more than a month away from actual NFL football practices beginning again in earnest. There will be full-pad, full-contact drills. There will be two-a-days. There will be intrigue and player squabbles and contract disputes. There will be football. And it will be good.
