Patriots 2013 Training Camp: Day 6, Thursday August 1

[Kontradiction]

No, I'm just hoping the inevitable stupidity (note the post immediately following yours for an example) gets over and done with early.

I got a pretty good laugh out of that post, myself.

Collins looks like a nice addition early on...any word on Suds, my binky...

He had a solid practice, he ran with the 1s a lot in the 3WR sets, he was talking to Gronk a lot too, I think him and Fells have been the 2 best TEs, Hooman a close 3rd.

 

[resdubwhite]

did the fan he's throwing passes to blow his back and acl out trying to go back to an errantly thrown ball?

bravo!!!!!

 

[Patjew]

Thanks dues for the links much appreciated. It's hard not to root for someone like him.

It's hard, but worth the effort.

Yeah as pointed out by many, it will be interesting to see how much the injury from last season affected Daniel Fells.

While it's fairly easy to consider him a player who may be replaced, there's also a decent possibility that he can show improvement just the same.

I'm not sure how much I'd agree with it or not, but there were some who focus on sheer blocking analysis who claimed that despite his shaky season last fall, he was still outblocking Hooman at times.

 

[Mack Herron]

Thompkins sure is putting together a lot of "best of the day" highlights so far.

Binkies of the board unite!

 

[Rob0729]

It's hard, but worth the effort.

Yeah, I like Tebow, but I think I would like him even better if he was on another team.

Field Yates has an optimistic report about Edelman:

(I think that, just before he got the injury that ended his season, Edelman had lifted his game to a new level -- the Butt Fumble was so hilarious that we forget how much he punished the Jets in that game. Looking for him to have a *big* role this season.)

Interesting on-the-field note from Bedard:

Greg A. Bedard ‏@GregABedard 24m
Belichick and McDaniels let their hair down a little offensively with Tebow. No, I can't give specifics. Guessing you'll see it a PS gm soon

Oh my god!!" The anticipation is killing me.

Oh boy. Demosththees or whateverthehellhisnameis is about to have a full blown chubbie.

Yates' summary (it's the mobile version since I'm on my phone):

NFL Day 6 practice observations - ESPN

Notable to me were his findings on Collins and Thompkins.

 

[Christian]

Very excited about this defense. We're strong all over the field with youth, veteran leadership, speed, toughness...all of the above. DL is a worry on the interior but not so bad. Fortson looks to be a solid back up.

Can't wait.

 

[jimache]

I'm going to go right ahead and say it. I believe Collins will be DROY candidate.

As long as we're at it why not DROY and OROY - Collins and Dobson ... and yes, it did happen before; 1967, Detroit Lions: Mel Farr, RB- OROY and Lem Barney, CB- DROY... Google knows everything

For what? A bag of chips?

a free bowl of soup.

 

[PatsGuy]

Based on what we know right following a week of practice, who is the starting strong safety against the Jets?
Gregory
The 2 Wilson's
None of the above

Dowling on the stationary bike, per Kyed

They should bolt that bike down to prevent him from crashing it and hurting himself.

I've seen him throw. It's not that hard.

rethink that, tebows #3

Looks like Tebow will make the 53 as official goodwill mascot.

This will probably trigger the poo flinging, again, but it's being noted by multiple reporters, so we might as well get it over with. Here goes;
