I love Randy. Left us rather ingloriously but appreciated him before and appreciated him after. Sweet that he's wearing a Pats shirt. After a HOF career...seemed like he enjoyed the Pats the most.

Randy Moss on Tom Brady handling Deflategate: "Tom's human. I'm not going to tell you it doesn't affect him and everybody in his circle."

We talk every month but that's something we don't talk about - Randy Moss on communications with Tom Brady

Brady got every starting rep today and was 28 of 32 with 13 TDs. Garoppolo got zero snaps. Lindley was 6 of 6 in opportunity time.

When we saw that pattern in the past it meant the back-up got the pre-season game snaps. Brady did his work in the joint practice.

Why didn't Jimmy G. get reps today?

Could be something as simple as in practices they've asked Jimmy to do something and he hasn't corrected it yet. (mental errors) and by punishment they wont let him play until they see improvement.

If anyone has watched Hard Knocks this season a ton of former Patriots use similar techniques, mental error repeaters do not play.

@jeffphowe: This is a clinic. Brady just went 8 of 8, now 28 of 32 today.

anyone checked PSI?

So the offense generally had a good overall day. I wish there were more tweets about how the defense did but it seems some of the stand outs were Malcom Brown, Grissom & Butler.

I am wondering a lot about Grissom now. Hearing nothing but good things the past week. I will be sure to take a long look at him saturday.

Any update on tymes

I'm still impressed that the Saints camp at the Greenbrier. Pretty awesome spot, and there's nothing much to do for the players outside of the resort, so few distractions.

Lots of Golf!

Seems he had a set back and didn't practice. Honestly at this point I am inclined to think Gibson and maybe Harper are ahead of him regardless.

I thought Bradley Fletcher had a rough day. He gave up 4/6 passes from QB Ryan Griffin, including a 30-yard touchdown to Brandin Cooks

Time to let Fletcher go

Yeah, especially with Bubba Watson there. I wouldn't be surprised to hear of him, TB, and a couple of other players or coaches playing a round after practice.

If the Pats have hit on Grissom, along with Flowers, imagine the Nascar package that they'll be in position to trot out .... in some combination:

Nink - Flowers - Grissom - Jones (Chan) - Sheard - Hightower - Collins.

Are they DL or LB?

If you play golf and you're at Greenbrier plus you make a good amount of money, chances are you're playing as many rounds as you possibly can. Lucky bastids.

@jeffphowe: Harper caught 2 from Brady with 1 nice TD. Gibson had one catch. The full list will be in the practice notes soon. https://t.co/GZm5df617u

This 2015 preseason the media theme is "Is JAG in decline?"

In 7v7s, Brady had completions to Gray (3), Gronk (2), Slater, Harper, Develin, Mundine, Amendola, White and Lewis.[/URL]

In 11v11s, Brady had completions to Gronkowski (5), Amendola (2), Boyce (2), Gibson, Hooman, Slater, Krause, Harper, D’Orazio, and Develin.

@MarkDanielsPJ: I think Malcolm Butler could become a motivational speaker if he wanted to.

Yup.

We cut Butler after yesterday's bad day, right?
