Just a couple notes to wrap up the day:

It sounds like, if Roger Goodell is forced to suspend Bill Belichick due to new findings regarding Spygate, new secondary coach Dom Capers will likely become the interim head coach in his absence.

This sounds reasonable. After all, Capers is the only person on staff who has experience running the ship. Definitely more defensive minded, but I think that he would be a decent fill in in Belichick is suspended at some point. Wouldn’t want him being the head coach for too long, but for four games or so, I am comfortable with that.

In some final NFL Combine news, it sounds like the Patriots have met with Oklahoma defensive back Reggie Smith. In the meetin, Smith said that he and the Pats discussed, among other things, his ability to play corner and safety.

Interesting. Will admit that I only saw him play in their Bowl Game, so I cannot make a fair judgment on him. However, if he indeed can switch off between safety and cornerback and play both positions at a high level, that is a huge plus. The Pats have questions at both positions, so flexibility in a prospect is big.
