Some DLew stuff.

I don't want to alarm any Garropolites out there but "underthrown"?

Let's all pray that JG doesn't have arm strength issues.



(<<<< This means Just Kidding for wound too tight types)

You crack me up with the name Garropolites, haha

Solid day at camp. Wish there was more 11 v 11 work & WR v CB. Didn't focus on OL/DL but Bedard wrote some good stuff on them.

3 Up

Edelman/Cooks - Crazy to think we have two #1 WRs & Gronk. Obvious but these two are so much better than the rest of the WRs. Edelman pretty much embarrasses any CB not named Butler & Cooks burned multiple CBs deep. They'll definitely be great compliments to each other. Love it.

Kenny Moore/Jordan Richards - Was curious to see the early camp hype UDFA. Moore's change of direction definitely showed. Only one day but eye test seemed like the 4th best CB after the big 3. Richards was everywhere today. He broke on the ball at the right time for a diving INT & showed good D against Gronk in the RZ. It's make or break time with him so that's good to see.

Eric Rowe - Just very physical at the LOS & showed good coverage down the field. The clear 3rd best CB at this point & it's easy to see his upside. They had Butler in the slot at some points with Gilmore/Rowe outside.

3 down

J. Jones/Coleman - They were beat often today. Coleman especially didn't have a fun time. It's tough to judge J. Jones when Edelman is abusing him but getting Butler/Gilmore/Rowe on tbe field together looks ideal.

Brissett - His internal clock is still too slow & he had accuracy problems today. He naturally looks way behind the GOAT & the best backup in the NFL.

Allen - Weird day for the punter. He shanked one near us in the stands & a reporter said he was erratic.

This line is confusing from Bedard. He's not sure what that means but he says it's "not optimal"? Guys get beat all the time, even Gronk. Somehow losing one or two battles in camp and that takes away his 7 year career resume of superior blocking ability? I don't get that. It's stuff like that that makes me hesitant to subscribe.

Pretty sure he was talking about injury concerns and not performance.

 

[Mack Herron]

 

[luuked]

If he can contribute in multiple ST units this changes the equation in terms of space for him on the roster. Didn't read anything so far that he actually has any ST value. Curious.

 

[Deus Irae]

So, does this mean that BB gives clearance for people to evaluate the players now, since the pads were on?

 

[AtomicDawg]

Pretty sure he was talking about injury concerns and not performance.

Ok. That makes sense. But again, he needs to say that instead of stopping after "not optimal". Because he didn't, someone reads that and thinks he can't block anymore. Or any number of things. It leaves it up to interpretation when there should be none.

 

[PatsFan37]

This is big.

Been my binkie since his rookie year. Nice to see him stringing together a few good practices.

 

[PatsBoy12]

Some DLew stuff.

Yeah, this sort of thing is common with most players coming off of major injury.

 

[PatsBoy12]

So, does this mean that BB gives clearance for people to evaluate the players now, since the pads were on?

Nope, because BB also believes you don't know what you have in a player or a team until November.

 

[PatsBoy12]

This is a great compilation. Hogan shook the sh*t out of Butler in the first clip. It still surprises me how well Gronk moves for a guy his size. He just shouldn't be that fast, but he is. Incredible. I can't think of three players in the league who are as elusive as Jules and he has that Barry Sanders-like stop on a dime thing going on. And Cooks is behind the defense often. He may not have the height of a Randy Moss, but he looks every bit as dangerous and a threat to take the top off the defense. The speed and acceleration is just not fair.

That would be easier to buy if we didn't see BB cutting guys after Months, weeks, and days. Sorry, but your only chance to save your argument on this is to whip out the "Using Geico could save you a ton of money on car insurance" card.

 

[Peachhead]

I don't know why. But these training camp threads are virtually unreadable for me. Every embedded tweet is blank and says "loading tweet". It doesn't matter how long I wait for it to load. And I have no problem seeing embedded tweets elsewhere. Patsfans is whitelisted in my adblocker too.

It wasn't an argument. I was taking your joke and trying to be funny myself. I guess I failed. Oh well.

Not at all. I just saw a chance to toss in the GEICO comment.
