The New England cornerbacks taking on his routes included Kyle Arrington Trey Flowers Jersey , Devin McCourty, Aqib Talib, Alfonzo Dennard, Darrelle Revis, Brandon Browner, Logan Ryan, Malcolm Butler, Eric Rowe and Stephon Gilmore.“He’s a great player. He’s made a lot of great plays in this league,” Gilmore told reporters of Thomas following the five-time Pro Bowl wideout’s arrival last week, via Patriots.com. “He’s tough to cover, tough to bring down – those are a couple things that stand out with him. Strong, explosive, so hopefully he can help us win games.”Thomas and the Broncos went 1-7 in the regular season and 2-1 in the postseason versus the Patriots. The No. 22 overall pick that New England sent Josh McDaniels’ way during the 2010 NFL draft found the end zone in three of those meetings.Thomas would eclipse the 100-yard receiving mark four times in all, once finishing within shouting distance of 200 yards on a stop by Gillette Stadium.MEETINGS WITH NEW ENGLANDDec. 18 Womens Deatrich Wise Jr Jersey , 2011: 13 targets, 7 catches, 116 yardsJan. 14, 2012: 10 targets, 6 catches, 93 yardsOct. 7, 2012: 11 targets, 9 catches, 180 yardsNov. 24, 2013: 9 targets, 4 catches, 41 yards, 1 touchdownJan. 19, 2014: 10 targets http://www.patriotslockerroom.com/authentic-james-harrison-jersey , 7 catches, 134 yards, 1 touchdownNov. 2, 2014: 11 targets, 7 catches, 127 yardsNov. 29, 2015: 13 targets, 1 catch, 36 yardsJan. 24, 2016: 7 targets, 2 catches, 12 yardsDec. 18, 2016: 11 targets, 7 catches Isaiah Wynn Jersey , 91 yardsNov. 12, 2017: 8 targets, 5 catches, 44 yards, 1 touchdownThomas brings a total of 55 receptions for 874 yards and touchdowns on a fade, a stutter post and an in-cut against New England with him.The quietest stretch over that Patriots sample size came between the 2015 regular season and subsequent playoffs, when Thomas was limited to three receptions for 48 yards on 20 passes sent his direction. The loudest stretch came from December 2011 on through the AFC title bout of January 2014 at Mile High, and it saw the Georgia Tech product average 115 yards through six matchups.Whether Thomas can show shades of that past production is the next matchup.The longtime Bronco and recent Houston Texan is operating under a one-year Patriots pact that carries a $1.2 million base salary, a $150,000 signing bonus, a $150,000 workout bonus and a steep staircase of incentives. He turned 31 years old and suffered his second career torn Achilles in late December. He is no given.But there is something to be said for familiarity. The Patriots have gotten to know Thomas well from afar.And to the tune of nearly 16 yards allowed per catch. The NFL released the preseason schedule on Tuesday and it includes a matchup between the Patriots and Titans in Nashville during the second week of exhibition action.It looks like the two teams will also be practicing together in the days leading up to the game. Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said that he and Patriots head coach Bill Belichick discussed the possibility when Vrabel, who played for the Patriots, told Belichick that the Titans had requested a game against New England.“Clearly you know all the head coaches Womens Danny Etling Jersey , but you have a better relationship with some of the other ones, and Bill is one that I have a better relationship with,” Vrabel said, via the Titans website. “So it was, “Hey, we’re putting in to play you guys in the preseason. And Bill was like, “Can we come to Nashville and practice?’ I think that would be a great idea. We practiced against the Patriots when we were in Houston, and I feel like they are a good team to practice against just because of the same expectations, trying to get stuff done, trying to get things accomplished but not fighting or anything.”The Titans hosted the Patriots in a regular season game last November and won 34-10.
