Word up it was Dr appointment
Beach sand in the vag?
Last time Bill blew smoke up a players ass in OTA's Maroney got traded...
Last time a player who was MIA was said to be visiting a doctor...
Watched first-round draft choice Chandler Jones closely, and when he plays in a two-point stance at the end of the line, his length stands out as his presence can be disruptive to passing lanes. Can't think of another player in Bill Belichick's tenure like that.

@JamesWalkerESPN: This won't surprise. But watching Tom Brady practice today and watching Tebow+Sanchez yest, there's a big difference.
Here are my observations:
Its NO pads, NO contact, and NOT competitive. Its NOT football. As BB has said over and over this is a TEACHING time. This is when they install most of the offense and defense. Trying to judge how a player is doing under these conditions is ludicrous. Perhaps the MOST ludicrous is assigning sacks to defensive players in a NO CONTACT drill. Unbelievable, almost Jet-like
This is NOT football folks, its just part of the process leading up to the 6 weeks of TC, where all the competition and real judgments will be made. What have have now with these reports, are nothing but reporters needing to justify their paychecks, and for the fans like myself who read every word, because I know there will be little else to talk about for the next 6 weeks. so even these phony baloney "assessments" are better than the nothing I have to look forward to.
And yet Ocho managed to get cut...among others.
Coaches glean a lot from these supposedly non competitive practices... They assess a players ability to grasp and retain instruction on a day to day basis. They gauge a second or third year player's capacity to develop and a veteran player's ability to maintain a level of consistency.
Increasingly practices will be non contact, no pads - welcome to the CBA of 2011 - but it would be foolish to label them non competitive because they will constitute the basis of building the 53 man roster and PS. For the most part jobs aren't won or lost in OTA's, but this is where the contenders begin to be sorted out and identified or classified in anticipation of TC.
Missed this one from CSNNE yesterday.
Notes from Day 2 of Pats mini-camp
In June, the biggest thing to note is who is getting yelled at.
Wow, they both said nice things about...Britt Davis.
Reminds me of last year and the year before when I thought Darnell Jenkins went crazy in the preseason but got cut both times.
Brings back fond memories of Charlie Weis colorfully and loudly cussing out Patrick Pass at summer camp in Smithfield RI.
