I will keep an eye on him in training camp. When the pads are put on is when I wet my pants over things like groupings, slots, and formations.

OK, thanks, I will. If you can't laugh at the Patriots' punting, what can you?

Not a record you want the Patriots holding, but I guess that you can't blame old Brooks directly that the team couldn't convert on third down. Must just have been bad vibes ...

Fair enough. There are no guarantees they go into camp with these same groupings - they may be putting an emphasis on getting reps for new guys or rookies.

Unless he completely poops his pants, I expect (hope?) that Larsen makes the 53 as Koppen's primary backup.

Maybe they figured that Brooks was so good punting, it didn't matter if they converted or not?

Unless you have some secret information, Larsen has a long way to go to beat out Connolly for a roster spot as backup center.

BTW, I want Larsen to make the team.

However, no may how we cutm it, we have a starting center and a backup center (and even a Practive Squad center in Wendell). So, I think you ahve it backwards. Larsen is a 6th round prospect who is expected to make the Practice Squad and could make the team.

After all, as of right now, there is NO ONE but Connolly that dante would trust as the Game Day backup center and guard. And why should we believe that Larsen has already passed Ohrnberger in the depth chart?

No objective reason whatsoever. Subjectively, I believe Larsen has far greater potential.

However, I think Moss saying it explains why people would think it, and that's what I was responding to.
Maybe he's trying to drum up non-football money to help make up for the discount he'll take when he signs with the Pats?
