Is Tull gonna give us a big year? I think it's a distinct possibility.
Tully Banta-Cain Amped For Second Go-Around With Patriots - New England Patriots - NESN.com
Excerpt:
It’s been a good run so far for Banta-Cain, who is one of just nine seventh-round picks from 2003 to still be in the league (48 players were selected in that round, which included compensatory picks). But Banta-Cain wasn’t resting on his previous contract or prior experience with the Patriots when the team went to work during training camp and the preseason. As the summer progressed and Banta-Cain’s roster spot became more secure, his motor never let up.
“Everybody pretty much has to come into training camp with a clean slate,” Banta-Cain said. “Are some of the defenses and some of the things we do familiar? Yes. But from a competition aspect, no matter how hard you prepare, no matter how much you know, everybody is pretty much on the same starting line. My advantage is just that I’ve been in the league for seven years, and four of those years were with the Patriots. They know what I can do, and they know what I’m capable of doing. That would be the only thing I would say helps me out.”
