I'm worried Ryan Allen might break some of his fingers catching these bullets from Cardona.
Everything thing I have read is that the Navy is letting him play?Don't worry he'll be on a ship.

As an aside:
I hadn't realized that Ryan Allen set a record for longest Super Bowl Punt in February ...

- Most punts inside 10 yard line, game, 3
Yep report is the Navy is leaning towards letting him stay in RI and play the season because it would be good publicity for the Navy. Issue I saw was that next year he would be on a ship out of Maine. I dunno, cross that bridge when they come to it.
Yep. That would suck for him for his base to be in Maine. Portsmouth (Kittery) is a haul from Foxboro but the US Naval Reserve Base is in Bangor!
There is the Joint Forces Program HQ in Milford, MA.
Yeah I was joking.Everything thing I have read is that the Navy is letting him play?

Interesting that so many people knocked Belichick for drafting a long snapper but when you look at this kid it is clear that he is the "Andrew Luck franchise QB" of long snappers. A fifth round pick to address a critical role on the team for probably at least the next decade. I thought it was a brilliant selection, especially when you consider the increased degree of difficulty for extra points.
Guy's a machine. Those placeholder snaps are something to behold.

A special teams stud from Navy at a position of great need. I don't think there's been a more predictable Patriots draft selection since Drew Bledsoe.Belichick almost didn't have an option:
- a new level of excellence
- through incredible dedication
- that provides a strategic advantage that few pay attention to (a fraction of a second on a placekick can mean a lot)
- from a guy in the Navy.
