SBB's 8/12 notes

I got Kraft good at practice. He was right in front of us and he pulled out his phone. So I yelled at him no social media during practice. He looked back with a smile and pointed at me and then his head as if to say you got me.

Very fun spirited action.

Best play of the day was a beautiful throw from Brady to KT over two defenders one of them was Carey Williams. I and the crowd made sure he knew how we felt.

I thought the pygmies were giving them trouble all day several catches by each.

KT and Lafell had a few nice plays too.

I tried to watch Easley for a bit and he only did work 1 on 1. Went elsewhere with trainers the rest of the time. But I like what little I saw one rush in particular he really pushed his man back. Obviously can't garner anything from a small sample but still fun to see.

Cool fake FG to Wendell for a TD was hilarious. Wendell and Connelly jumping and butt bumping to celebrate Brady ran over and slapped his head.

Was funny I was noting Chung didn't seem to be a one on the kick coverage and it wasn't a good sign but then he got most of the team 1 reps at SS safety.

White gets a lot of reps with the 1s,2s, & 3s. Ridley and Vareen get their share and I wouldn't say White is ahead of either but clearly they are getting him ready for a role.

Thought our D could have had a better day Revis got torched at one point by I assume Maclin and the Eagles were able to convert FGs in the situational work with 20 and 40 seconds on the clock.

The Crowds were insane easily the biggest ever. They were watching from the ramps all the way up too the 300 levels and the benches and hills were tight. Thought I heard 20,000 somewhere which is insane that place is packed at 10,000.

That's it for now if I think of more I will add.

I drove up to Patriots Place to watch the practice. Just before the turn off of 1, there was a 6 car incident that was slowing traffic. Figuring that would give me some time before the place filled up, I decided to make a quick stop at Trader Joe's (I'd never been) to check it out. By the time I got out of there, the radio announced that the crowd was so large they were opening up the balconies. I figured if it was that full, they surely didn't need me there, and headed on home. I'm glad you enjoyed the practice, and that we have some people who still went and can give reports.

Just saw a tweet that the number of fans there today was over 25K..

From Jeff Howe Tweet:
Brady's targets:
Thompkins - 4 of 7

Opening up the balconies? So the practice took place in the stadium?

No but there are Ramps and some walking paths that over look the practice fields and they used it as standing room.

After practice today, kind of like when the credits scroll by at the end of a movie, Edelman and Amandola had a little contest to see who could field a kickoff return holding a number of other footballs.



p.s. It was a real zoo there today and I was getting knocked around while shooting this but stick with it to the end, its only a few minutes long

Wow, Amendola at 1:43 is pretty impressive.

That is VERY inhumane of you, considering the horrible trauma those poor trout experience. You need to stop.

Heyy! I sat right to your left a couple seats over. I had the backwards Pats hat on,the Moss shirt and binoculars. You got Kraft good.

Was it the coach in the white(ish) shorts and hat that you see at 1:12 who was kicking? I don't know who he is but he was kicking onside kicks during one of the Redskins joint practices, and Belichick was standing behind him harassing him after every kick. It was pretty funny to watch.

Well now. I got email from both the NFL channel and ESPN asking to use the clip I posted of Amendola's juggling catch. I admitted taking it, disavowed all ownership and asked for no compensation. I suspect it might appear on one of those two networks in the next 24 hours.

A quick google search of Danny Amendola juggles shows me that this has already been picked up by NESN, Bleacher Report, Yardbarker, and seven other sites.
