One of those is your new guard. I'm putting my money on Jackson. Beast at FSU when he played alongside Stork.

It's definitely worth the trip; I drive up from the Cape multiple times each summer and always enjoy myself. Get there early and get in line, as I'm sure it'll be crowded on a Sunday. You can sit in the bleachers or on the grassy hill. Either way prepare for the sun and the heat. It's free to get in, and there are concessions for sale at stadium prices. I usually grab something to eat in Patriot Place afterwards; Five Guys is near the stadium and a fun place to eat, but if you want something a bit more upscale, Davios is great. I always stop in the Pro Shop as well; you can make a day out of it to be sure. Grab a free roster sheet from the Patriots Football Weekly booth, and you'll be all set. Have fun.
I wish Bob had done more but I believe there might be a section in the owners agreement now where an owner can be forced to sell like Sterling was in the NBA. Bob has done more than any other owner to protect a player since the Ravens owner kept the NFL from seeing elevator tapes.
no, but brady to edelman to amendola didHaha great catch! Looks like this Brady To bolden to Edelman to Brady never happened. At least in the record books...
For anyone going today, don't forget to post your thoughts/observations. We always can't trust the media telling us Boyce is on fire, Sudfeld is tearing it up, or Swanson is making plays.
I'll be there Sat. & Sun. Can't wait. Pats are back!
Note- It really makes no sense to go to camp practices until they put on the pads. You really can't tell anything about anybody until they do.
Editorial: I think the one of the biggest effects of the last CBA was to set back the quality of the game by over a month due the diminishment of practice time, and the limitations to be coached. I have to laugh when former players whine about TC and how hard it was. It was DEFINITELY hard when I played in the early 70's. It was still pretty hard in the early 2000's.
But now its nothing but a cake walk that barely lasts 5 weeks. Christ, it will be August before a player puts on their shoulder pads and hits someone. Then of course 2 a days have become a thing of the past. When I coached in HS in the 70's and 80's we would have 3 a days for our 1 week TC (2 two hour padded practices and a one hour no pad kicking game practice before breakfast).
Bottom line, this lack of practice and the lack of intensity within the practice is harming the quality of the game. As far as quality goes, its almost like the first 4 games of the regular season are nothing but a continuation of the pre-season. It also pisses me off that players are getting to paid more to do less every year.,....and they STILL whine about it. Listening to them whine, I doubt many would be able to make it through an "old school" NFL TC. And so the old man rant ends.
BTW- one of my biggest concerns about this year's team is that they won't be practicing with any other teams this pre-season. Those practices are invaluable under today's relaxed structure. Practicing with another team can almost double the amount of reps you can get in a given time frame and reduces the risk of injuries over the same time span. Last season we worked with 2 other teams, I wonder why we couldn't hook up with another team this year.
