The New England Patriots have several areas which are in need of improvement heading into the 2021 season. One of the more prominent areas is New England’s defensive front seven. Joining host Mike D’Abate is Steve Balestrieri of PatsFans.com. The pair discuss the need for a presence in the middle of the Pats’ defensive line, the team’s difficulties with setting the edge and stopping the run, and the state of the linebacking corps depending on the potential return of Dont’a Hightower.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.
