One particular play I witnessed pretty close up was Edelman streaking down the sideline, Revis beaten, Brady throws a perfect spiral set to hit Edelman in stride and...Revis...I mean you have to SEE him to believe it. He has that "it" thing, that ability to KNOW when to look back for the ball with a split second to spare and then MAKE the INT...not flub it, not drop it off his hands, not bat it down...MAKE the INT. He is really the best player on defense.
I know the moronic knower brigade who know everything about everything and vomit their streams of stats and the rest of their egotistical garbage every day, without ever ACTUALLY SEEING a practice or a real play...I know they will blame somebody for something ridiculous and then go off on this new Patsfans.com exercise of finding fault with Brady's throwing or Edelman's route running or whatever pure geekaloid garbage they want to use to pump up their "knower" status here but the TRUTH is GREAT PLAYERS MAKE GREAT PLAYS. Revis is one of the truly great players in this league. He picked two passes off today and knocked at least one other away all the while as Brady had a very good practice throwing strikes all over the field. Anybody who was THERE will back me up on this...Tom looks at the top of his game. Edelman, Amendola, and KT look sharp and the offense looks pretty crisp considering it's the first practice with pads.
Oh yeah, Connolly is taking all the reps at center...I was talking with Sarge and a few of the other old war horse Pats fans and our consensus is Wendell is a goner. Too soon to really say one way or the other but off today, I'd say it doesn't look to bright for Wendy.
yeah...did you see Revis holding the ball for Gost on the kickoff drill?
how about that absolute rocket to Thompkins on the sideline that Brady delivered and Thompkins toe tapped for a 30 yard strike?
yeah, it was Wilson and McCourty for most of the practice at safeties.
Logan Ryan locked up Amendola on a 10 or 15 yard pattern giving him zero separation...that stuck out...I mean, I can go on all day about what I SAW but that's not important here anymore.
Poor Wendell. Joker wrote his epitaph about eight months ago.
If we waste Revis on Sanders vs Denver. I will be more then upset
Is it a waste if Manning can't get the ball to D. Thomas because he's jammed at the line or Sanders because he's on Revis island? Doing that you can spring traps over the middle when he has to force the ball to Welker & J. Thomas.

I agree. I think Connelly sticks because of his versatility and I believe he's just better. I know he costs more than Wendell but the extra money is worth it, IMO. That guy has stepped up every time he's been asked. I've never felt unease seeing his 63 out there.Thanks for sharing what you saw, Joker.
Although many will disagree, but I truly believe that one of Wendell/Connolly will be moving on, with Connolly's versatility working to his favor. This has seemed to be reasonable to me since the end of last season, and the selection of 3 new OL in the draft only solidified it.
I think it will be a very disappointing moment for the coaches if all 3 rookies + Kline end up being so mediocre/bad that they are forced to keep both Wendell/Connelly for the upcoming season, although that statement is certainly opinionated and could end up being incorrect.

I mentioned that play. Beautiful throw and catch but unfortunately Chandler was in there and standing next to Brady for what was a sure sack.how about that absolute rocket to Thompkins on the sideline that Brady delivered and Thompkins toe tapped for a 30 yard strike?

Cannon
This will probably make a lot of people happy. Did he hold his own in drills? As far as we know it's one of the first times he's practiced at Guard
Actually, I believe that he's been playing guard for all 3 sessions so far (if you include the walkthrough).
