Golden opportunity for Mallett to run with the #2 job and never look back and...yuck! Granted, there were some drops, some pressure and the obvious slanted game planning to get Bolden his carries to see what he has but he just doesn't seem to have "it" at this point.
Ryan Mallett - Progressively better in each preseason game thus far. You can't be the heir to Tom Brady if you're behind Brian Hoyer. The opportunity is there for the taking...go get it!
I really like Ridley and Vereen and think they offer loads more potential and versatility than BJGE. I am eager to see this Vareen guy that everybody keeps talking about, though!
I'm not sure what's more amazing...this thread or the fact that Shane Vereen is currently the last RB in the rotation. Everything about this kid just seems like a perfect fit for this offense - another match-up nightmare.
Isn't it pretty much a lock that the Pats will add a veteran RB? I just don't think BB trusts the young guys enough yet to the point that a guy like Hightower could play a key role.
While I'm sure Hoyer is a nice security blanket for Brady this season, his presence will really cut into the...
The Browns are really the only possibility I see as they have the need and the picks that could appeal to the Pats. BB is not going to trade Mallett to the Phins unless he's entirely underwhelmed with his progress. If you look at the Browns, if they take Richardson at 4, the best WR at 22 and...
Tom Brady is by far the most important player on the roster and Hightower would be by far the best pass protector in one of the leagues most pass happy offenses. If they sign Hightower, I think he gets a lot of PT on passing downs at the very least. Don't forget, Hightower was the Redskins...
Hightower's a better talent at this stage in their respective careers assuming he's healthy. He's a great blocker which is job number 1, a better pass catcher and I think runs harder than Grant who is clearly on the rapid decline. I think he'd be a great signing for the Pats on the cheap and...
How about more of Welker and Hernandez at WR with Gronk as the sole TE and put in BJGE at FB to block/run ahead of Vereen a bit more often? Hit somebody in the mouth!
It sounds like Branch was a late add to the injury report - eerily similar to the late injury to Price a few weeks ago.

With 2,619 yards and 24 TDs, Aaron Rodgers is first player with at least 2,600 pass yds and 24 pass TDs in team’s first 8 games of a season.

The Packers horrific defense will really help Rodgers pad his stats the rest of the way. Having seen all of their...
I firmly believe that Belichick is one of the most insecure coaches in the NFL. Just look at the way he handles his interviews and press conferences - he's uncomfortable in his own skin. Some of the most successful leaders, like BB, are ones that are constantly motivated by their insecurities...
I think the Mallett pick will ultimately be the best pick since Brady. It's impossible to project how much Brady has left in the tank, sadly. While he still has elite talent, his advancing age and an increasing lack of mobility make him a huge injury target. Great ones frequently lose their...
I thought for sure this was a Tom Brady thread when I first saw the title. I will need regular counseling sessions when that sad day happens.
Any chance the Pats are able to re-sign Hoyer and keep him or does he definitely walk this offseason leaving Mallett as the clear cut heir?
