Wow. That was just . . . hilarious. Like, so bad I didn't even care that we lost because I was so amused. It's preseason, it's game four, and it's fourth-stringers. I think I can cope.
 
is Mallet alive?
 
Turned the game back on for the last possession - Solder false start, Solder bowled over and pushed around like a rag doll, Solder with another false start that wasn't called...Was he really this bad? Man, what I've seen of this guy I can't believe they spent a first round pick and people are already talking about moving him to guard??????? This guy strikes me as no more than a guy who'll be off the team the team before his rookie contract is up....hope I'm wrong, I'd hate to see another wasted high draft pick....
 
Doesn't look like anyone will be offering a first rounder for Mallett in the near future...
 
Tomorrow's NY Post headline on the back page...

Mallett Hammered...Patriots Lose to Big Blue!!!!!

and then, buried somewhere in the back pages..

Jets lose to Eagles at home...fail to show up

Solder will be fine. He's just not ready to be a starting NFL tackle yet.

Yeah. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't survive the cut down to 53.
 
I hope Belichick gives a series of ONE WORD ANSWERS to the gathering media scumbags....
 
Are we ever going to beat the Giants again? I hate these New York teams.

Solder was quite good from what I saw in the first 2.5 quarters - in particular at RT.

Also Jaws said (in the Thursday Pats threads somewhere) that he liked his technique and thought he was going to have a long career in the NFL.

I'll remind you of this post when he takes over a starting T job, by the way Light got called for at least two penalties, and didn't get much push.

Solder won't be worthy to carry Pat Harlow's shoulder pads....
 
Doesn't count, just back ups that failed to show up. Real stuff starts next Monday.
 
My thoughts:

So lets not bother discussing Tate. Gone. With a capital G, not just becuase it started a sentence, but because he's ******* Gone.

Ihedigbo is not making the team either.

Slater solidified his spot, but the good news (for me), is that I figured out who he reminds me of. You know that picture from the internet of the news reporter, reported on "wanted rapist" and in the upper corner of the screen there's the cartoon sketch of the a guy that looks exactly like him? Put the hair on Slater, and it's Slater. Sorry for the disgression. Slater, on team, no doubt.

Based on this game alone, Ricky Brown, who I hadn't really seen before, had a solid showing. Not sure how he stacks up against White or Koutouvides, but he didn't look bad.

Same goes for Ventrone, he had a solid showing, but against back of the lineup guys. Hard to compare,so I have no idea how to interpret it, but obviously he did good.

One of the more important storylines of the night, especially in regards to the roster cuts, IMO, is both Wright and Ellis lining up outside. Before this game... Wright had been lining up inside in the beginning of training camp, and I think that was what was expected for the most part. Speculation on Ellis went both ways. Not to say things can't change, but you have to think that based on today, their primary positions are both DE. Which is bad news for Anderson/Cunningham, and good news for Love/Warren, and maybe even opens up a spot for Richard??? Sorry if the last bit doesn't make much sense, I've had a bit to drink.

O-line depth still obviously lacking, but I can't point any fingers at this point. I'm sure someone with the benefit of DVR and sobriety will chime in.
 
Slater looks like erkel's older brother
 
I saw bits and pieces... I had a crappy feed.


How did Solder do ok, bad ?



The O-Line looked bad from the bits I saw. It was no fun watching a very choppy streamed game on my end. Horrible feed to get any kind of analysis.

Haynesworth looked good the times I saw him...


Some RB was torching us up the middle all game. I hope we can stop the run this yr. Pre-season Run-stoppage looked horrible tonight. Some one fill me in plz
 
Slater interview with Zolak, and he's sporting glasses. He looks like he still belongs in school.

I saw pics of him last week with those glasses on.

Looked like he lost his trombone was running late to marching band practice.
