Sorry i am a bit late. But here is what i have compiled so far. I thought i may as well just whip them into one post:

Brady dropping back. Pretty good protection for him. Interesting to see Cannon at RT.

Brady to Edelman in goal line work.

The catch where people thought Browner got beat. DJAX got behind him but it was solid trail coverage in the end as DJAX caught the ball 2+ meters out of bounds.

Brady to Edelman on 11 on 11 for the TD vs what looked like zone.

Blocking drill:

Brady to a wide open Amendola. Joker's going to go nuts!

Wilfork testing out that Achillies. Looks pretty good to me.

Nice completion by RG3. Someone got beat bad in press in the slot. Mayo had nice trail coverage on this side tho.

Another Redskins reception mid field:

Pretty catch my LaFell. Always nice to see.

Goal line work for Ryan Allen. Looked like poor protection and a poor kick from what is saw. The second rep looked al ittle better. Redskins kicker got off a bad one too.

Redskins running play

DJAX with a good catch on Browner for a TD. McCourty was in the area as well.

RG3 doing what he does best. Extending the play then finding a reciever outside Mayo. Looks like tight coverage forced him out of the pocket.

Two 1 on 1 WR vs DB TD's for washington. 1st i think was Garcon vs Arrington and the 2nd i think was Desean vs Butler.

http://instagram.com/p/rU5eVFiwk9/

http://instagram.com/p/rU4aYNS-vj/ (another angle with a rep inbetween)

Rb's 1 on 1 vs LB's. Collins dominates his guy and drops a pick. I am not sure who the 2nd LB was wearing 44. He got beaten but the RB drops the ball.

Pats Run game. not sure who the back is? White?

That's it for now. I'll have a look later to see what else i can find for everyone.

Well...I've certainly seen enough...it's time for this musical ode to the greatest player in NFL history and MY personal mancrush buttercup, Danny Boy....tears welling up in misty eyes of longing...

It does if it causes him not to be cut.

Please list the, doubtlessly, enormously long list of WR prospects that made the BBHC-era Patriots for 2 straight years while being #6 on the WR depth chart and not doing much on special teams in year 2.

Brady is en fuego

I am glad to see you embracing your role as leader of the Amendola fan club. Maybe I was wrong about Amendola, time will tell, I hope I am. We could use all the weapons we can get.

I will say for the record that you might of been on the money with Boyce, he will need to excel as KR to win a spot on the 53-man roster.

 

[Brady6]

Or maybe he has really good upside but isn't ready to compete for a starting job yet after missing most of last season.

The problem is he did not actually miss most of last season, he was a game day inactive for many of the games. I have been one of the biggest supporters of Boyce, because I am into workout numbers, sometimes too much so and his are very impressive. My support of him aside, DI is right, he is going to need to win a roster spot by being an exceptional KR, otherwise he will have a tough time making this squad.

 

[jsull87]

One that I had missed. Here is that long TD catch from Brady to Amendola. Joker's pick for come back player of the year seems to be coming true.

Oh the ironing.....

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

It seems as if old vets Brady & Wilfork took the media reports of their decline and the touted competition from rookies to heart and are tearing up the practice field.

1.Rb's 1 on 1 vs LB's. Collins dominates his guy and drops a pick. I am not sure who the 2nd LB was wearing 44. He got beaten but the RB drops the ball.


2.Pats Run game. not sure who the back is? White?

1. = Darius Fleming. I wouldn't say beat, since he kept the smaller man in front of him.

2. = Jonas Gray

Wilfork is just scared Bianca is going to starve him even more. Poor guy is going to be 250lbs by October.

 

[JMC00]

Thing about Boyce is I think he may even be on the outside as KR. As Malcolm Butler has been returning kicks (and last I heard was not bad at it) and Bill may want to keep him at least for the first 4 weeks with Browner out.

Did Taylor Price play special teams?

 

[Brady6]

2. = Jonas Gray

I agree, I thought Fleming played the coverage well, he was with the RB. Fans are getting spoiled by Collins, most LBs do not pickoff 50% of the balls throw their direction…

 

[Deus Irae]

Did Taylor Price play special teams?

2011 didn't carry 6 WRs (plus Slater as the non-WR), so Price wouldn't qualify. As a side note, though, Price got cut in week 3. At some point, upside has to become production.

 

[Brady6]

2011 didn't carry 6 WRs plus Slater.

They had 6 RBs on their roster in 2011-12. I do not see that being the case this season.

I have no idea how many receivers they carried then. I really don't care, but he did nothing and made the team the next year.

As far as I'm concerned, all this "lock" talk is ridiculous. They haven't played a preseason game yet. I wouldn't buy a house unless i was Brady or Revis right now. All the receivers need to have a good preseason, there's a ton of players to be cut that might outshine more than Boyce.

 

[Brady6]

Price was waived on 12/3/11. He was only active for 3 games but he was on the roster for 13 weeks.

Plus we should account for the potential for an injury to a receiver or Dobson not making it back for the start of the season.

I know people hate measurables but Butler ran a 4.62 40-yard dash at his pro day. I would not want him as the top KR, he does not offer the home run threat that you want back there. A ST player like Slater could stop of gatorade and still catch him from behind.
