FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Quick-hit thoughts and notes around the New England Patriots and NFL:
1. Scar impressed with QBs: It has been 18 months since Dante Scarnecchia retired as Patriots offensive line coach, and he has happily transitioned from one of the longest tenured and most valuable team employees to a fan. So like most everyone else in the New England region, he tuned in to the team's first two preseason games.
"I watched the quarterbacks to see what they look like after all the things that have been said. I was really, really impressed by both the quarterbacks," he said.
