Does he make it past the first round of cuts?

He'll get cut so that they can keep an extra safety.

Do they know?

Well, they certainly wasted no time grabbing Kuhn once available. Makes sense that they have a plan for him. Just hope he's not as bad as Giants fans say.

At 6'4 and 315, he's got the size to be a 3-4 DE for the Pats.. could be that the Giants didn't use him properly..

Everyone gets beat. It's how they respond is what matters. Good news !

Out of curiosity how do you know any of this?? Are you telepathic from Isle of Man?? It is not as though this is on TV.. unless you trust tweets.

It's not just tweets coming from reliable sources (Mark Danials, Chris Price, Mike Howe, etc) but also the independent reports.. Why is it so bad to be optimistic? If having Dobson means they don't have to rush Amendola back, then that's a good thing. Or it means that Dobson could be traded for something other than a bag of deflated footballs.

Yes, it's only day 2 of camp but Manx isn't calling Dobson a HOFer or anything.. Sheesh..

We can't afford to keep Harmon and are going to miss him. He is going to be a good starter somewhere in the NFL.

No way. He came from Rutgers. Only Belichick signs/drafts those guys.

************ is going start week 5? I dunno. The game's changed a lot since 33 A.D.

Patriots have 55+ million in free cap space next year.. And you think they won't be able to keep Harmon?
Ryan is the odd man out, imho..

Justin Coleman and Cyrus Jones again played well. Both were physical off the line in press man. Coleman got some work on the outside.

Seahawks going to be mad letting Coleman go.

And the Vikings!

AtomicDawg said:

For those who asked...
Khun, Brown and Long on the line. They always used to line up Jones on the interior in camp too. Must be a Belichick thing.

I think it's so they can switch from 3-4 to 4-3 without subbing.

Not bad for our 6th round-undrafted safety!

i'm going to try to make it to one or both practices this weekend if the weather cooperates.

for anyone who's been before, do you know if they allow cameras with telephoto lenses and tripods/monopods? i looked in the training camp guide and they don't specifically mention them, but they do have the catch-all "Any other item deemed inappropriate by stadium management".

i'm guessing the monopod might be out because it might be too similar to a selfie stick, which they specifically prohibit.

Seems to pretty specifically call out selfie sticks so maybe a tripod would be ok. But your right could fall under that catch all.

A very Gronk-like response. Well done.

James White really is facing an uphill battle this year I suspect.

Wouldn't be surprised if he was traded. Same with Logan Ryan and Josh Kline.

Bobby Kraft was frightened by a scary clown carrying balloons when he was little, so...

Best fans in the world.

Aside from Ryan, there's not much trade value there I fear.

Jeff Howe's thoughts on the day.
