Wednesday Afternoon Patriots Notes: Vollmer the Only Player Absent, Miami Worried Abo

9/7 practices: All but vollmer!

Funny how all the bunged up players show up on the same day. How crucial is vollmer? Can we be comfortable with Solder at RT? Expect a lot of Gronk. Or is it Gronks?

Re: 9/7 practices: All but vollmer!

No Vollmer is worrisome.

I think he is not that hurt. If he was, I don't think they will only carry 3 Tackles.

Re: 9/7 practices: All but vollmer!

You know, it looks like Bill knew what he was doing when he held out all of those players for so long.

Well it seems he may be hurt enough to miss the Miami game, which wouldn't be good.

Re: 9/7 practices: All but vollmer!

Hate to be a Debbie Downer but Is this team EVER going to be healthy??

Seems every year they have a few key players miss games.....


Pats at 100% are tough...when you have them at 80% they become average....BB and Brady can only work so many miracles....

Re: 9/7 practices: All but vollmer!

Well great news.
There were 21 players missing for most of the training camp practices. I'll take one.

That means:
Ridley back.
Price back.
Connolly and Wendell.

Bodden, Arrington, and Dowling.

That's huge.

Brady, of course, is probable (shoulder)...

Vollmer is healthy, just given the day off to celebrate the anniversary of the invasion of Poland.

Oh wait, I can think of a couple reasons that is not going to go well...

It's pro football so no, the team will never be completely healthy.

Nien, das Wermacht ist todt! (No, the German Army is dead)

Vollmer is a pacifist - except on game day.

I think Vollmer's brother Gunther is being inked as a fullback - 6' 6" 315 lbs as we speak. His only downside is that he doesn't speak English well, so Sea Bass has to help out.

Hunh? You want to rephrase that perhaps before the after work crowd comes in.....

Re: 9/7 practices: All but vollmer!

You guys disappoint me. No "Vollmer is made of glass!" posts?

Re: 9/7 practices: All but vollmer!

Vollmer: konstruiert aus Glas

They have ONE GUY missing from practice, and this is your comment? One guy sitting out on Wednesday is unbelievably healthy by NFL standards.

For their sakes let's hope you are wrong.

Re: 9/7 practices: All but vollmer!

Hopefully they don't all pull their bungs out at once.

"unbelievably" <----- LITERALLY.

There is 0 chance that Vollmer is the only unhealthy player on this team. As we all know, what these reports seem on the surface are almost always somewhat misleading.

Re: 9/7 practices: All but vollmer!

We have to deal with Cameron Wake. If Solder's in there, Dolphins would be smart to swing Wake where Solder is lined up on obvious passing downs. I think it be best that Vollmer was completely healthy for this game.
