Patriots Minicamp Thread

[PatsWickedPissah]

Its easy to look good when its all non contact.

Explains the Dobson good performance

 

[Nordberg]

Is there anything more meaningless than mini camp stats?

I remember Gary Tanguay arguing that there might be a QB controversy last year because Jimmy G. completed a couple more passes than Brady with no defense on the field.

What a freaking moron!

 

[VectorPrime]

Would you rather they look bad? C'mon, man, we're just excited about football.

I won't be excited about a single thing regarding football until Brady's suspension is overturned.

That's your prerogative. I just like the Patriots, regardless of the injustice forced on them by the league. Why even post in this thread if you're just going to be sour about it? Go take a few months break and watch when Brady is back.

For the next time you feel the urge to pee.

 

[Dorito Dink]

Jimmy G has had 2 practices open to the media and has been strong in both.

11-on-11s: Brady 11/15 Garoppolo 17/21 Brissett 12/18
7-on-7s: Brady 20/25, INT Garoppolo 16/19 Brissett 4/7 INT
Overall, Brady went 31/40, INT, Garoppolo was 35/43 and Brissett was 28/40 with an INT
2-on-2s: Garoppolo 6/7 Brissett 3/5

Quarterback position will be evaluated this week

Indeed. We see underwear HOFers every year.

Pee as in P-erspective.

Obviously its just mini camp, but Garropalos completion percentages have been right there with Brady. Its going to suck if we managed to find the real deal at QB thru the draft only to have them leave via free agency because Brady isn't ready to retire yet.. Legit starting QBs don't grow on trees and we could be looking for years and years to come for the next one

Unless we pull what the Colts did and just disgracefully tank a season to get the #1 pick

I'm not too worried, considering we got Brady in the 6th, Cassel in the 7th, Hoyer undrafted, and Garoppolo in the 2nd.

All the QBs had pretty good comp %... Even Brissett had a good stat line. That's encouraging.

Bennett is gonna be the real deal here - and it's gonna be sweet. I also wonder if maybe we're underestimating Donald Brown - though I'd love for Foster to hit the ground running, so to speak.

Agree with both main points. I really like what I'm seeing from Bennett. We already knew the skills were there, his issues could be boiled down to attitude, but he seems like a totally bought-in happy camper.

I also think Brown may surprise people by not only making the team but being a big contributor.

There's no way he could've been serious.

Right...?

Play of day: WR Aaron Dobson a one-handed catch on a long-bomb TD from Jimmy Garoppolo. Dobson fell to ground after making catch.

Dobson, once again saving his best work for the practice field

Patriots practice leftover: Last 2 players to leave the field, well after the rest of their teammates, were WRs Chris Harper & Devin Lucien.

Former teammates as WRs at University of California. I think they may have gone to the same HS too. They'll definitely lean on one another.

He may do it catching the football too...most catches amongst the RBs

Lucien was at UCLA and Harper at Berkeley, I think -- but they've been friends since they were 7 years old:

Good info - I thought they were both at Cal, didn't realize they were in different locations. But I knew they had some older link besides that.

Hold the phone. You're telling me Dobson made EIGHT catches today? And he's not permanently injured?
