FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Quick-hit thoughts and notes around the New England Patriots and NFL:
1. Gonzo a bright spot: Patriots assistant coach Brian Belichick has recognized something different with second-year cornerback Christian Gonzalez this year.
"He's not an overly vocal guy, somewhat reminiscent of Stephon Gilmore, but he will communicate with his teammates to get it right," Belichick said. "I've noticed a couple cool moments, compared to his rookie year, almost getting frustrated and it's, 'No! We have to get this right!' Talking to guys, getting it going, taking more of that ownership and leadership role of being a guy who is going to cover really good players and owning that as a leader of the defense.
