[Brady6]

might be taking my foot off the brakes on butler

He is a shut down CB. He has it, you can see it on every play.

Freeny gave up 2 completions on 4 targets for 21 yards last week. Also had a PBU. Got beat for a 10-yard TD by Ben Watson.

I don't understand why Easley is playing standup DE/OLB.

Thank god it's preseason. Of course last year, I was screaming at the TV game 1 at Miami. What the hell was Jones doing playing inside. He was getting owned.

They won the Super Bowl. What the hell do I know.

At least we kicked their butts in practice.

lol youd kick our but in a real game dont worry so much

It's important to remember as we watch this that ultimately we are watching practice reps. I like seeing them put McCourty at corner. It's good reps for him and good reps for the other safeties. It's important this season that they are multiple both up front and in back defensively. These are necessary growing pains during consequence free competition.

Also, Collins actually looks pretty good. He's executing his assignment and doing his job pretty well. He got picked pretty bad on that wheel and ultimately just needs his help to get there. With High and Mayo in there with him the defense would look dramatically different. I'm nervous if 55 sees the field during the regular season.

Looks like Collins is playing not to get hurt

Can't say I blame him

I kind of agree. BB won't be happy, but Collins probably calling Bs on being the only LB made to play. He looks lazy right now.

 

[BlueThunder]

He's not a lock is he?

Tom E. Curran ‏@tomecurran 59s60 seconds ago
Josh Boyce still sitting. Not been on field yet. Brandon Gibson and Chris Harper on ahead of him.

 

[Joey007]

This line has been awful

 

[raduray]

First down- gotta be a run.

 

[BradyFTW!]

Damn, Fleming got owned there.

 

[DefenseRules]

Pats look sluggish

 

[PatsBoy12]

Wow, has Blount gained anything?

 

[Halifax_Pats_Fan]

BB needs to get off that tablet and MyFace and get back into coaching this team...

 

[Soul_Survivor88]

Wow, our offense is disappointing

 

[Brady6]

Someone needs to let Amendola know that the Patriots will not be getting any calls this season.

 

[Saint Pat]

Started three drives with Blount run... Three and outs.

 

[BadMoFo]

We can sure use some offense,

 

[Joey007]

Meh

 

[Love The Drake]
