Rodney on EEI - New England Patriots Forums

***PatsRI*** · 08-09-2006, 09:52 AM

to paraphrase:

"It's good to be back out here with everybody who doubted me and the odds against me."
"Good to be back on the field with Corey, Brady, Seymour and even Koppen who I rehabbed with."
"Teamates always positive with me...really helped me out"
next step "everything is a progression, get used to pads and helmets again, second day getting used to speed, 3rd day getting timing back"
"not alot of contact but I bumped with Maroney a couple times he's going to be good"
"have to be patient it's not going to happen overnight"
"it's a long season whether I come back the 1st week, the 2nd week, or the 3rd week."
preseason games? "we'll see"
secondary "can't really say, we haven't played a game yet,learning the system."

Should be on audio vault later:

I saw Rodney at practice yesterday. He seemed to be moving very well, very fluid. There was no real contact going on and I would have been shocked if he would have been involved with contact right now.

I expected that he does a "one practice on- one practice off" thing for a while.

Last night on NEST they were talking to Blue-Gay. He said that he worked with Rodney during the off season. Once ,he said, he had to tell Rodney that he wasn't doing something right.

Greg Dickerson looked shocked and said "you corrected Rodney???". Blue looked down and said - well only once.

I hope that the question mark that is Randall Gay turns into an exclamation point!

Good to hear his ****y voice and attitude on WEEI, caught the last part... he imo is a very big piece of this puzzle... the secondary is completely different when he is in there.
