Every week, we up our prep on the Patriots’ next opponent with our “5 questions…” feature where we check in with a writer who covers New England’s next opponent. For this week’s game against the Fish Tank, we talk with my first Dolphins beat partner, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post. Check him out on Twitter here. Thanks to Joe for his time.
