The offical Patriots vs Saints preseason game thread

Nice pass by Hoyer, Holley has to catch that if he wants to play on a team this year.

 

[BradyFTW!]

That drop is going to keep Holley awake tonight.

 

[BradyFTW!]

One wonders how that's even possible.

At first I thought it might have fallen off, but he probably would have come back sooner if that was it.

Looks like Davis and Holley are going to be cut or go to the practice squad.

Why do I have a feeling the Pats will be doing a lot of 4-3...

 

[Anteros]

Holley? He should have had that.

I thought that it was Randy who used to throw out Todd Light every game.

It is Randy Cross. He played against Todd Lyght for years when Cross was a 49er and Lyght was a Ram.

Tough break for Fletcher. Hope he has a speedy recovery. Best of luck to him for sure..

Pass pro helps

Is there anyone on their front 7 who doesn't have a clear role in both a 4-3 and 3-4? The way that the Patriots play them isn't all that different anyways, As long as they stay big at LDE (likely), and their RDE/ROLB's are capable of playing standing up or with a hand in the dirt (also likely), I'd expect to see an awful lot of both.

These refs look confused

Dear God, I'm not a fan of Edelperson returning kicks.

Seriously. I can't believe all these unnecessary flags.

Britt ran a good route......not his fault the ball was thrown behind him

 

[Gronkandez]

VEREEN! two nice little plays!! (just remembered I'm wathcing on DVR on delay...oops)

Haven't seen Hoyer try to sneak a pass in while he's falling over. Things like that are why he's the #2 and the next franchise QB, as some like to see him, is sitting in firm control on #3.

I have absolutely nothing against Mallet but he's the #3 for a reason, the line isn't giving him any help, but that doesn't mean you try to make something out of nothing by lobbing up a prayer while you're halfway to the ground.

 

[patchick]

Vereen and Josh McDaniels look like a great fit. He's made for the screen play.

 

[BradyFTW!]

who the hell plays preseason fantasy football? What are these guys talking about?

 

[DefenseRules]

Bad execution on that last screen.

 

[Anteros]

I think Vereen has earned a chance against the first team defense next game.
