Starting o-line in warmups (R-L): Vollmer, Jackson, Andrews, Mason, Solder

Can't wait to get the Stork back...

Cadet not playing probably means he's not gonna be making the team IMO, it appears to be a two horse race there.

Boyce isn't here....seems like he's not gonna make the roster

Mark Daniels ‏@MarkDanielsPJ 43s44 seconds ago
Not here: Edelman, LaFell, Roberts, Cadet, Watson, DFletcher, Martin, Cannon,Wendell, Barker, Stork, Vellano, Josh Boyce, and Chris Jones.

Boyce...you needed this to figure that out?

That was my take as well. Fletcher is still on the PUP.

Did Barker get hurt? 2 years ago, Barker spent the entire time as the 3rd center behind Wendell and Connolly on the roster. Now, he seems to be struggling for reps..

On @985TheSportsHub pre-game interview, Jonathan Kraft says ownership did not apologize to ESPN's Chris Mortensen in private conversation.

Jonathan Kraft's direct comment was that there was no apology and "we have no need to." (Via @985TheSportsHub interview) #Patriots

Too funny. Keep the laughs coming, Mort. What's your next big story?

Jimmy Garoppolo's 214 pass YPG and 25 pass 1st downs are the most this preseason

Nice Jimmy. Keep it up

 

[DefenseRules]

Mort seriously needs to go away.

Downside of not exposing Jimmy Garoppolo to Carolina 1st team defense far outweighs the upside of playing Tom Brady.


^^^ agreed

There's a large group of Patriots players going through some pregame streches with Moses Cabrera. Trey Flowers and Aaron Dobson are two.

Chris Mortenson is leading the team exercises, "C'mon guys! Stretch it! Stretch it further! Feel the lie. Stretch it!"

Looking forward to seeing our 1st unit Offense get going tonight and score some points....not that I'm worried or anything, but a first down or two would be nice

 

[VectorPrime]

I dont want Jimmy out there in the first half and if it was my choice Id have Lindley play the entire second half.

 

[Soul_Survivor88]

I have to admit, seeing Reggie Wayne in a Pats uniform is kinda surreal

RT to piss of Colts fans

 

[Ross12]

Lol. Next Mort will be saying "listen, it wasn't a lie because I called them..."

 

[Rob0729]

Lol. Next Mort will be saying "listen, it wasn't a lie because I called them..."

Actually he has already said the Krafts called him. Which means he will argue that they lied to him and it is insulting to believe otherwise because they called him and it wasn't him calling the Patriots in search of an apology.
