Really Good Minicamp Recap on Patriots.com
 

Well worth reading :

I know its only mini camp but this sounded like it turned out pretty good with the exception of Warfield. The three pieces of news I'm most pleased with is that Hobbs, Caldwell and Gostwowski looked pretty good out out there. Ofcourse the news on Jackson and Maroney is good too. :rocker:

Thanks, really good article.

Training Camp 28th July. That's a very long time away. NFL Head Coach will have to keep me going until then :)

Reads like a report from a team's official website. ;)

Joking aside, sounds like lots of positives. If this rookie crop is even 1/2 as good as they are looking now, its going to be a good year.

Jackson is the one that excites me. I like Caldwell fine but Jackson could be a stud and he's passed all the tests with flying colors so far.

Word I cant wait to get that.

I've been waiting and waiting since we lost to the Broncos for this new season, I'm glad I have summer to keep me busy till it begins.

I appreciated the observations and the opinions in this article.

But, Mr Casale, you really should learn (and apply) the difference between "compliment" (to convey esteem) and "complement" (to be an appropriate partner to). It's good to be a professional, even on the Internet.

I enjoyed the recap, especially his comments about the secondary. I love Hobbs and Sanders. I really wouldn't call the guy unprofessional because one word was used wrong. There are mistakes like that in the Globe every single day. I would call him unprofessional if he told us Johnathan Sullivan was fat because he has a big head. ;)

yes, it sounds good about the rookies. It would be nice if the offense can carry the team certain Sundays. I am tired of too many 4th quarter close nail biting games when we have to rely on the D to clinch the victory. If we have better luck this year on our FA pickups, we could raise the Lombardi once again. It always baffles me - why do BB and SP do so well on day one draft picks, yet sometimes miss terribly on FA pickups. I would think that with so much more game tape on FA - especially at the pro level - it would be easier to pick FA with a higher degree of certainty. I know the Pats system has something to do with it - but then again - that should also apply to the draft as well.

Tom Casale does good work. He covers the draft well and works hard to back up what he says.
