This makes the RB conversation a lot more intriguing.

This makes the RB conversation a lot more intriguing.

IIRC that's both Bedard and Chatham saying that Burkhead has been looking like the best RB in camp. Intriguing indeed...it's arguably the one wide-open competition on the offense.

That dude eats weird food.

That dude eats weird food.

I'm sure they jumped at the opportunity to do this for a famous local icon, but part of the bakers at Cupcake Charlies just HAD to be pissed about this. Like, "We make some of the best, most decadently delicious cupcakes in the world, and I have to find a way to make them with avocado and NO sugar...?"

WOW. FAIL.

The only thing he has in common with Alabama is he kicked their ass in the (?) orange bowl in his last college game. Maybe not kicked their ass but they won and it was an awesome game to watch.

looks like bd party on lower field ..

Brady didn’t participate in any team drills Thursday during Day 7 of Patriots training camp. Instead, Brady worked on a lower field with his starting offense and the top secondary. The group included tight ends Rob Gronkowski and Dwayne Allen, running backs James White and Brandon Bolden, wide receivers Julian Edelman, Brandin Cooks and Danny Amendola, offensive linemen Joe Thuney, David Andrews, Marcus Cannon and Shaq Mason, safeties Devin McCourty and Patrick Chung and cornerbacks Stephon Gilmore and Malcolm Butler.

like the Ebner's TC so far

- Cornerback Eric Rowe and safety Nate Ebner intercepted passes.

___

- Safety Jason Thompson had two pass breakups. Cornerbacks Kenny Moore, Will Likely and D.J. Killings and safety Damarius Travis had one apiece.

Maybe a chance for some investigation there..

Sounds like it was a very slow day at camp, I found a recap that I thought was good. I'll post it below for those that are interested.

The man of the day.

It's all down hill from there....

don't know what films chatman watched but in a few chances he got he always looked like the ultimate chain mover not unlike Jules here . the interesting thing about him (again from limited time he got . not by his fault acc to Cincy fans) watching those tapes was that his moves/solutions to find a way for a play are so unconventional, unpredictable. a special watch.

i don't see it so much as competition since they have very different skill sets w Gill . id expect committee even in a lead back role btw Gill, Rex and some Dion (as it stands) depending on opposition, field/game situation..

wouldn't be surprised if somewhat paradoxically Gill gets more 1st downs & goal-lines but Rex gets more 3rd down short yrd and those mid-field grinds..

"Eat it right now... in front of me..."

Not much to talk about today. The main thing is no Slater at practice. Other less injured guys are so i am wondering what it means. We will see. I don't think it is a huge deal but just maybe longer term.

from Daniels

When the first-team was on the field, for an early walk through, Rowe got the starting crack at the slot position on the defense. Harvey Langi and Deatrich Wise were also with the starters during that drill.

"Eat it right now... in front of me..."

He then continues to shout "LET'S GO! LET'S GO!" while you eat it like it is the super bowl or something.
