THIS WEEK'S PLAN: After a break of sorts in the team's offseason program last week, a more complete group of Patriots players are expected to gather today at Gillette Stadium for offseason work. The week will end with a full-squad minicamp (June 6-8).

CFL's ARGONAUTS LIKE PATRIOTS MODEL: The Toronto Star previews the training camp of the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League, and the team's head coach Rich Stubler said he'd like to adopt a Patriots-like approach. "The basis of their success is fitting in. It's not raw talent. Most of the teams that go on raw talent are 6-10 down there. It's the same thing up here. If you keep turning people over, continuously looking for greener pastures, you generally don't play in the playoffs. If you can get a good group of kids who have both good core values and can live together as a family and improve as a group you can succeed."
