2016 Training Camp - Day 8 (8-5-16)

[patfanken]

Looks like Howe may have been wrong on his assumptions about Edelman and Amendola returning. Happy to see Washington and Mitchell back out there.

I think if there were real games coming up, those guys would be out there. I'm fine with them just running around and coming back some time after the Saints pre-season game.

Practice observations: Tom Brady completes all 25 passes in 17-9 victory against Jimmy Garoppolo's team

I wish we could go back to DEN Jan 24 2016 with Hogan, Bennett, Develin ...

True, but I think a healthy solder would've been the difference.

I know ... but with these 3 it would be spectacular against best D

With 2 TD stolen from TB by BB for the sake of more red zone training (per reports).

ps
Everybody's messing with Tommy now. He's gonna explode...

Asked after MCI writes an "article" saying Lewis may start on the PUP list. He is having a banner day. What a turd.

Justin Coleman the top corner next to Butler for today

Loved this guy as a player with Favre, Antonio Freeman, Ahman Green and Donald Driver. Good comp.

I didn't understand why people were down on Coleman last year. I thought he looked pretty good for a UDFA rookie.

The biggest question mark for me now is the OL and running game. Aside from Thuney, we're not hearing much in the way of positives about the OL, nor the running game (although that might just be the limited contact nature of TC). Still, these were the biggest uncertainties coming out of last season and I wonder how much things will have been improved.

The Pats will likely carry five or six DEs on the roster this upcoming season (Sheard, Nink, Long, Flowers, Grissom and McClellin if you count him as one). I wonder whether the work they've had working out Nink and McClellin at LB has been done so that they can carry less linebackers on the roster to accomodate the extra DEs.

Hello Shea McClellin.

I agree. While I love the guy not sure there is room for Rufus Johnson....

What TB is doing and is going to do this season at 39 has me speechless. We need a new phrase to describe him, goat is no longer good enough

The Prototype?

ProtoTom?

I was glad to see Flowers have a good day. Liked Johnson too (he had an excellent pre-season last year) but I really feel Flowers can be a long-term replacement for Nink.
