Game Day Thread Preseason Game Thread (NE vs. NC): The Countdown to Carolina begins.... (8/28)

[Archeryaddict12]

I think Brady targets Dobson early and often

 

[IcyPatriot]

keep gronk out of this..
he should never participate in preseason games ever..

If he makes a catch go down Rob ... just go down.

 

[IcyPatriot]

Awfully suspicious..

All eyes on them ... definitely a covert operation by Belichick ... ha.

Tom Brady starts and gets a much longer run than he did last week against New Orleans, I was told.

See, now this is good pre-game tweeting. BSM members take notice.

IMO, Brady plays most of the first half, if not the whole thing. I'd be surprised if he plays into the 3rd quarter.

I'd expect him to feed Dobson and Wayne early and often.

 

[manxman2601]

I hope we get to see Chris Harper link up well with Brady. Be good to see what the rapport is like between them.

Ross, can you imagine if both Dobson and Boyce do (A)....This board will go nuts!!!! Both of them doing B and C wouldn't surprise anyone, it's pretty much become the norm. lol

Lol yeah really!! I wonder if BB benching Boyce all last week was supposed to serve as a way to say "you better wake your ass up and play your heart out these next two weeks or you're gone."

I'd like to see our wideouts and how they play including Dobson and Boyce, also want to see who can play the 2nd corner position and who steps up there and definitely want to see the competition between White and Lewis

FWIW I rewatched the second preseason game yesterday and I tried to focus on Tarrell Brown. He was in the slot corner position a lot and I don't think he was ever targeted, I thought he looked pretty good, he was always tight to his man.

But I agree that the thing I'm looking forward to most is Lewis vs White, I have really been enjoying that roster competition.

EDIT: almost forgot to plug my binky Harper looking forward to another strong showing from him!!

Here is my preview of tonight's game https://patriotsall22review.wordpre...atch-for-in-tonights-matchup-vs-the-panthers/

I really want to Dobson and Easley to play well. This should be the best preseason game with so many players back from injury.

Hoping that your binky continues his great camp and my binky, Gray, get's some playing time tonight

THIS.

IMO that is why I think Fletcher will be CB2 and Brown CB3. I think Brown would be a top 5 CB3 in the NFL and kick azz.

This is very, very bad news. Brady, Gronk & Edelman should have their helmets taken from them.

Oh, I dunno. I'd like to see Brady throw for a first down at some point.

No clue why people have **** on Cameron Fleming, saw this today

Cameron Fleming has the most pass blocking snaps (69) of any tackle w/o allowing a pressure in preseason.

"More @Patriots players stretching to the left, stretching to the right, stretching in, stretching out, in, out and know they're shaking it all about"

Which makes the Michael Williams trade more interesting. He appears to be in direct competition with Fleming for that 6th OL/blocking TE role. Hooman really does seem to be at risk.

I really don't want to see Gronk. No need to give him any more of a workload than he already has. One year off his ACL he could return to being the most valuable non-QB in the league

Well with Williams getting the #85 jersey I thought Williams might be now in competition with Hoomanawuai as a blocking TE.

Fleming has really struggled vs the run, no doubt he has been good as a pass blocker
