Some guys were in our seats and we didn't force them to move.
The jumble tron is absoutely amazing. And then when they were doing red zone work some guy got in my way and I forgot to use it.
Anyway to the guys on the field
Welker took this one off (my guess because of the turf).
At one point the offense had to run a lap and BB met them at the end of it spoke to them and they seemed to turn it on after that doing pretty good in situational work.
Gronkowski impressed me again. He had a nice TD in red zone work right in the middle of the end zone. He gave a huge spike then brady ran down and did the leaping back to back celebration.
Tate made on hell of a catch in the corner of the endzone he looked in to me but the closest guy was signaling incomplete. Moss caught a touchdown after that.
Hernandez caught a TD and threw the ball into the crowd the security tried to get it back and the guy resisted....then they sent someone to get it. The crowd booed and Kraft came walking over with a ball to make up for it. This play was very interesting as it was trips right inside the ten and Moss, Edelman and Hernandez lined up right it was almost unfair the abilities and variation in talents in that group.
at one point in the practice Moss caught a real deep bomb with chung in coverage. I said to my father that I thought Chungs coverage was pretty good and that if it was a rook he may have made some contact and broke it up. Sure enough next play 3 yard out to Buddy Farnham and he was instantly tackled full speed by Chung.
Both Gerrard Warren and Damione Lewis seemed to be getting some decent pressure up the middle. Chung had one blitz where h flew in there and Taylor stepped up and met him pretty good with a blitz pick up but it was so close to the QB that Chung had to give up and I am not sure if he would have won the battle or not.
thats it from me until the weekend.

Brandon Tate impresses with catch. One of the highlights of the practice came in 11-on-11 work when Tom Brady dropped back to about his 40 yard-line and lofted a pass into the back right-hand corner of the end zone. Receiver Brandon Tate was covered by cornerback Devin McCourty and made a sensational catch, diving out of the back of the end zone and maintaining possession of the ball as he crashed to the ground. Tate was out of bounds, but that didn’t stop the offense from celebrating. Tate and Brady leaped in the air and “touched” backs.
Just got back from the stadium, quite a show from our young pups.
Let me start by saying that I can't wait to get my Aaron Hernandez jersey, this kid is the real deal. Smooth, hands of glue and always got open in the 11/11s as well as the individual drills. TB and Aaron are already getting the chemistry going to the point where Brady made it a point to run out to him and point out where he wanted him to be on one particular play, you can tell TB loves this kid and knows what he can bring to the O. You watch him run his patterns and he's really smooth, cuts in and out of his breaks quickly and fluidly and has that knack for finding the open seam, he's a natural, I cannot believe we stole this kid in the 4th round, highway robbery at it's finest. He was consistently lining up just off the tackle in the inner slot in many of the formations, what a weapon in the making we have.
Gronk looked good also, as mentioned, a nice tough grab in traffic in the redzone and a heavy spike after pay dirt. Our redzone options are numerous with these two kids, sprinkle these 2 in with Randy inside the 20 and we're deadly.
Chung looked great, as mentioned, he blitzed off the edge on one play and was in the backfield in nano-seconds. Without the the true edge rusher, it looks like BB is going to rescheme the D to reinvent our old safety, ILB and CB blitzes to get pressure and Chung will be a major part of this with his lightning quick jump and speed, he looked great.
And now Brandon Tate, WOW, as mentioned, that catch in the corner of the endzone was a big time play. Covered like a blanket, he took the deep corner pass in, kept his feet in and celebrated, it was a big time play and proved where he is at right now in his development. His deep outs on the sideline were just as good. Say hello to our legit #2 WR.
This offense looks scary good with Moss, Hernandez, Gronk, Tate, Welker and Edelman Coach O'Brien will have the ability to put out so many different types of looks, it's going to be tough to stop.

Great notes... but I am a bit worried about our run offense. This is not the first time I am reading about their inability to finish in the Red Zone. This was an issue last year as well.

My friend with tickets offered me the opportunity to go, but I had an appointment . He went anyway, but he told me that it wasn't very exciting. I have a feeling I would have appreciated it more than him, though.

it can be a tough thing to judge when they are not all out tackeling so I tend to not say much about it. But they have had a few nice TDs in red zone work off the top of my head I remember a good one from Faulk yesterday or the day before. Blocked nice and clearly TD contact or not.
I think we know what we have and it is better than people like to think and we can always hope Maroney breaks out. Faulk is awesome, Maroney is above average, Morris offers some good power and is pretty good receiver too, and Taylor hopefully can pull out one more miracle season. In short Faulk, Morris, and Maroney should offer what they have any of the last 3 or 4, and if either Maroney can breakout or Taylor can revive then it could be more than solid.
