Patriots demand more work, better professionalism from players in team meeting

FOXBORO -- If ever there was a time to do more, now would be it. The Patriots, sitting at 1-6, held a team meeting on Wednesday morning to discuss that very topic.

The fact that it needs to be said, that there needs to be a reminder to commit more time to maximize production, seems to be an indication that the team's collective mindset isn't where it should be.

And there may not be a position group on the team more representative of the still-figuring-it-out professional approach than New England's wide receivers.

Javon Baker's lack of route detail and understanding of the offense has prevented him from contributing, offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt said earlier this season.
