PRESEASON GAME DAY THREAD (8/22): Patriots vs. Saints

Not open for further replies.
One thing I feel much better about is Garrop.

He looked awful in camp and a half second too slowq making reads last week...but he looks much better, much more comfortable even with this Gump lineup out there
On the radio this morning Rodney Harrison was talking about how a player like Garoppolo could be over coached and it can actually become detrimental because it takes away from their natural feel for the game.
 
I think Ryan Griffin might be our best 2nd QB hes up next
 
If Jeff Howe's report is to be believed (Dobson pretty much a lock) it's Gibson vs Harper for that 5th spot
How can Dobson be a "lock" at this point....he's done nothing....and is always injured.....it would seem that he would be the odd man out right now....if not its bye to Gibson
 
I want Boyce and Harper on the field with Lewis and Gray i want to see what kind of offense can be created

As long as somebody covers Boyce and you never throw to him, pretty good.
 
Watch Boyce put up 200 yds it he crazy to see him just take over a game for once.
 
Harper can be backup KR and backup PR to Amendola/Edelman. That helps a bit.
If you look at Harper's pro day he is nearly identical to Amendola on paper. I like kid a lot especially with Edelman and Amendola approaching their 30s. He could be developed at the bottom of the roster for a few years and step in down the road.
 
You know what's funny, i wrote that before I saw your post about Harper. :) I think there is no way he doesn't make the team with the way he's playing. All he seems to do is make plays.
Haha I was wondering if you had seen my next post or if it was just a big coincidence :) The Saints stream I'm watching only showed New Orleans' highlights at halftime so I still haven't seen it, but I am glad I'm hearing so many good things. I think he can be a stud. I would keep him over Gibson if Gibson doesn't do a whole lot more... I mean, I like Gibson but he kind of is what he is, he's very solid but not a lot more.

As a side note, I love the fact that we are actually discussing a battle for a fifth receiver spot. This would be unimaginable just a couple years ago.
 
That play was all harper, never gave up
 
Just caught up on DVR. The offense sucked with 3 rookie OLs and none of the top 3 receiving targets? Shocked I tell ya!

The D was disappointing. Butler and Sheard looked good, and my boy Sealver played well when he was out there. Collins looked worse than awful, and the Scarlet Knights in the secondary....ouch.

Reminds me of Bengals preseason game in 2004. Just not sharp and an opponent who is on point.
 
Harper got his first NFL touchdown reception!!!
 
I still have no idea who the Pats' starting third down back is, but I don't think it's Bolden by default anymore.
 
How can Dobson be a "lock" at this point....he's done nothing....and is always injured.....it would seem that he would be the odd man out right now....if not its bye to Gibson

Agree, how can Dobson be a lock when he can't even stay on the field. Gibson and Harper have been two of our best players so far this preseason.
 
@pherein How do you like Josh Hill? I think he can be a great player.

Can anyone update me on what Dion Lewis has done? Seen a couple comments about him but haven't seen any plays.
 
At least we got to watch some good football. Granted it was the Saints though. Cameron Jordan is a beast to be sure.

Just preseason, doesn't mean all that much until the 53 is healthy and playing.

Looks like the most explosive potential 3rd down back we have speed/juke wise.
