Training Camp 08/05/15

It is interesting to see how a couple of years can change impressions so drastically.

Flash back to the 2013 TC, if Edelman had "tweaked his ankle" and missed a couple of practices, we would have 3 threads already with complaints about how unreliable Julian was, how he can't stay on the field, and how stupid BB was for bringing him back. You know that's the truth.

I hear you and agree totally. I think it just shows how hard he's worked to become the kind of player that he is now. Injuries will happen, but you should never underestimate how much hard work off the field pays off in terms of durability on the field. I have read tons of reports the past few seasons about how much he takes care of his body and how hard he works off the field. He deserves his success.

Sheard destroyed Fleming I think.

Jabaal may be the newcomer I'm most intrigued about seeing in live action.

 

[Ross12]

IMO Sheard is gonna kill it here.

Too bad NFL network isn't showing the Pats practice live

You don't know how many times I battled for Julian over the years. I guy by the handle of "Scratch" in ESPN was adamant that NE was phasing him out and refused to listen to reasoned arguments that Edelman's inactivity was due, in part, to injuries and redundancy with Welker. It all came to a head in 2013 when I wrote an article for Patsfootballfans.com explaining why I thought Michael Jenkins was camp fodder and nothing more. (Yes, that was a unconventional opinion at the time ) In that article, I explained why I thought Edelman provided more value, but Scratch would have none of it and a flare up ensued.

To date I haven't returned to the site, so I have no idea how his opinion has changed since then.

comeback to the site man haha we love edelman there

Poor Dobson will all the PBUs.

Glad Roberts is doing something. Hope he can make a case and make things interesting.

 

[Love The Drake]

Roberts needs to make the team would like to see Jean make the practice squad or the 53 if injuries hit the secondary

Great updates, thanks!!!!! Keep them coming!!!!

Jimmy to Boyce deep. Jean in slot.

Jean PBU on a shorter route, may have been PI, aggressive play.

Ugh I'm a Jean fan

 

[Love The Drake]

Boyce could still surprise maybe over Gibson even

 

[raduray]

Any update on Tyms?

 

[RobertWeathers]

IMO Sheard is gonna kill it here.

Im skeptical. Last 4 seasons in CLE saw decline in production. I know he had 29 different coaches and systems but that's not good.

 

[patsinthesnow]

Dobson beats Ryan in endzone.

 

[patsinthesnow]

Light practice. Second team defense owned the second team offense. Brady & co. barely any full speed work.

Play of the night: Jimmy Garoppolo to WR Josh Boyce on a long bomb, with rookie CB Jimmy Jean in coverage. Estimated crowd of 20k roars

I understand. But imagine spending 4 years in Cleveland. You would rapidly decline too.

Jokes aside, I just feel like he's gonna be a significant piece of the D. Could be totally wrong, but he seems like exactly the kind of guy BB wants.

@MikeGiardi: Rookie Geneo Grissom showed up again a few times tonight in 11-on-11, including one would-be sack IMO
