Week 3 (HOU @ NE) Practice & Injury Report Thread

[ViperGTS]

Just came to post this. Don’t know how this jives with not practicing.

Pray they didn’t just step on their d*cks again.

Either way, an effective ground game will help. And 2TEs and RB chips.

Yep. Just heard on Chatham pod from his Texans friend that Clowney is liability at OLB at the moment esp. setting the edge so he expects Pats to go running over him..

The problem #1 that remains from last playoff game is interior rush/push so it will be interesting to see how they gameplan against that in PP..

Houston's DL play this year hasn't been great. Combined they have 3 QB hits and 0 sacks and that was against the Jaguars and Bengals.

here full list. Valentine strangely completely off after he was OUT last Friday.
Ebner also off.
Dola, High LP is great.

Pats Interior OL has played great so far this season

Mason has been flawless in pass protection
Thuney has given up only 1 pressure
Andrews 1 sack and 1 pressure

Concussion for Cannon is very bad news. Fleming / Waddle time? Kinda makes me worry vs. Houston's front 7.

Good to have so many other guys back, though

Im confused how gronk can participate in positional drills and be listed as A DNP. Mistake maybe?

Sounds like he was there for warmups and then some light blocking drills but did not participate in any team practice.

Valentine wasn't able to go for the opener, but was able to return to practice a bit, last week. It's not surprising that he was held out of the game since he had just returned.

Apparently, a week later, his issues have improved. Good news.

Good to have these guys blocking semi-capably. It's a big deal.

Howe says Gronk is "Working that groin." Sounds like he's channeling his inner Antonio Cromartie.

 

[PatsFan2]

Gronk after seen on field now listed as DNP shenanigans by Gronk incorporated??

 

[PatsFan2]

Really glad Vincent Valentine is getting better I think he can improve our Interior rush on 3rd Downs.

I don't see how a rookie QB comes into Foxboro and beats a Brady, BB led team.

 

[DaBronxPats14]

Here is latest update I saw:
Rob Gronkowski apparently doesn't participate in Patriots practice, Marcus Cannon has concussion

 

[maineman209]

Grissom reminds me so much of Jake Bequette.

Grissom ST snaps in 2016 = 250
Bequette ST snaps, career = 36

Grissom DEF snaps 2015 = 130
Bequette DEF snaps, career = 43

Said the same thing about ****bag Alex Smith pretending he was Peyton Manning for a night

Anything can happen in this game.

BB lets young QBs complete passes and tantalizes them with passing spots the size of postage stamps in the 4th qtr

I'd like to see them put Cole Croston in there if Cannon is not starting.
