An extra year in the system might do him really good.

Like what I'm hearing about Garoppolo. If the suspension happens, this might be the 2nd most important year one to year two jump in the BB era since Brady's from 2000 to 2001.

Pretty creative of the Jets fan. I had never thought of the cheaters angle before. Glad to see he could save up enough money from his job as a garbage man to rent that plane for a fly by.

It's also a terrible use of the joke. Now if they'd equipped a loud speaker to the plane that was broadcasting "Cheaters look up!" and the sign read, "Ha! Gotcha!" that at least would have made sense.

Kraft getting a standing ovation is sickening. The spineless coward should have been boo'd off the field.

Give us actions, not words.

I think we should give him a little time to prove that hes seen the light. He made the statement yesterday, lets see if he continues what he started yesterday or if that was it, just a short pot shot at the goody, and the league.

@jeffphowe: Tom Brady took 100 percent of the first-team reps today. He completed his first 16 passes and 27 of 30 overall.

@jeffphowe: Garoppolo was 28 of 36. His first pass was intercepted but he recovered nicely.

@DougKyedNESN: Only one interception thrown all practice. Jordan Richards picked off Garoppolo. Brady and Garoppolo were solid all Practice.

If hes a garbage man in NYC he makes Very good money. Those guys were making $50K in the late seventies for working half a day. I remember reading an article in Time magazine about it all these years later. I believe they make well over $100K now.

Not sure if that is a good sign for the O or confirmation of fears about the secondary.

Finally some good news for the Pats. Mayo is a full participant for practice and Hightower is not on the PUP, but limited in practice.

McDonalds managers make decent money too. In the end, he still makes a living picking up **** I don't want and transporting it to the dump... a place he is no doubt familiar with as a New Jersey resident.

It's neither. They're not wearing pads and, even then, the defense starts faster than the offense in TC.

@MikeReiss: Tre' Jackson (right) & Shaq Mason (left) get extensive work at guard flanked by center Bryan Stork & tackles Nate Solder/Sebastian Vollmer.

I'd like to go watch training camp this Sunday and it'll be my first time. Any tips for a newbie?

This, along with the situation at corner, is what I'm going to be watching closely during TC.

Get there early if you want a seat in the bleachers. It's legitimately insane when they open the gates. People run.

I really hope that squeaks out (or dominantly wins out) as the OL formation. Though I'd rather swap the guards. A runblocking trio of Mason, Vollmer, and Gronk with a pulling G or T would be brutal.

Nothing against Wendell but he's getting older, he isn't the best, and he isn't the future. Would love to see him outperformed this early by higher ceiling guys.

Concussion Protocol said:

Not surprised that Blount failed the conditioning test, and I won't be surprised if he fails to make the roster. One of the worst starting RBs in the league, but fans around here have become content with mediocrity at that position. Let's hope Bill hasn't.

Yeah, the guy who doesn't need to be ready for week 1, and who may have had surgery in the offseason... He's got to go because he failed a test that oodles of others have failed.

Smart thinking!

I didn't say he's got to go because he failed the conditioning test

Smart strawman

This
BB has shown be feels strongly about Blount this is the man who had more yards after contact to Lynch and the closest thing in the league to beastmode when he gets going plus has unatural ability to make a long run.
Not a 3rd and 3 guy but 1st and second down good weapon.
Loved by his team mates low salary.
Yeah lets cut him for Cadet or Gaffney unbelievable.
Brady is a trouble maker who may sit 4 games lets cut our losses and cut him we will be fine with Grap and Flynn.
Tom Jackson says they hate their QB.

Your post was ridiculous. It's clearly the start of training camp for you, too.

Two hour drive.. would have to leave around 6AM. Worth it?
