Super Bowl LI .. PRACTICE news & misc

[DaveEG]

Branch and Mack already playing their game ..

Mack's injury was listed the same way last week. This isn't new.

nice discussion about X/O with warner and francesa

Great Wednesday practice report here by Reiss

 

[Mike the Brit]

By this board standards . this is a clear hint to Oakland ..

Definitely. I haven't got a link, but he was promoting some merchandise in connection with Boston Children's Hospital and said that he'd "had a great year" here in Boston and didn't know what was coming. Ah well. Just don't go to the Jets, Marty ...

EDIT: Don't be lazy, Mike. Here it is:

I've had a great year in Boston. I've done a lot of cool stuff (super bowl) and I've met a lot of awesome people. I haven't been around very long and I don't know how much longer I will be, but the memories and friendships will last forever. I've spent some time painting, reading and drawing with kids @bostonchildrens and we've had a blast.

Plus it has been widely reported that on offense we lead the league in yards after catch and on defense we allow the fewest yards after catch. How can you be great at containing YAC and be a bad tackling team? Makes no sense.

It does make sense if the stat is obtained by the first player missing and other defenders being there to make the stop.

Yeah, Marty sounds like he knows this is his last game as a Patriot.

I do hope he returns, but we still have Gronk and this upcoming draft is TE heavy.

Whatever decision he makes, let's hope he can get the Pats and himself a ring this Sunday.

How does he know this is his last game, Im just curious. Did he say he doesn't want to return next season?

Did you read his Instagram post? Or are you fishing for an argument?

That reads like a guy who is resigned to leaving.

I don't have instragram.

You don't need it. He said he doesn't know what's coming. My guess is that he's going to be looking at a big payday and we all know where that ends up.

Football wise I can take him or leave him. He's a great guy to hear talk though.

Has anyone looked at some of these prop best? Some of them are just crazy. ButI will take the Pats at -3 I think that is fair. For those interested here are two articles on betting the Super Bowl.

No news imo. An impending free agent who isn't sure whether or not he'll be back, not surprised.

Great to hear...Branch is definitely one of our unsung players and so vital to stopping the run!!!!

No one said it was "news".

Me and a few others gave our opinion that it sounds like he was hinting at leaving.

He is right he doesn't know what's coming because he is a free agent.
What do people expect him to do say no way he will leave put a blindfold on me and I'll sign a contract?
This is no news at all.

But he didn't.
