[long distance]

Interesting hope this isnt a trend

I repeated the words mental toughness in my head.

you mean promoting a sigh of relief when important player is out indefinitely..?

I would still prefer a Team straight out Practice against itself than play those awful money grubbing useless Preseason Games. I would rather a player go down In a regular season game than Preseason.

Bone on bone.

I'd have to guess that the Pats now keep White, Burkhead, Hill, Gillislee and Michel on the roster through final cuts, temporarily release Bolden, then send Michel to IR/Eligible to Return, and re-sign Bolden.

Even with his history of injuries in college and the pros I’ll take burkhead over Sony in fantasy this year.

 

[Mack Herron]

Here's another take.

Just awful. Not surprising but still this isn't good. We really need him on the field this year but I'm not holding my breath for an impact player.

This guy was going to be a major player. Esp w the Wynn pick & Brown trade. There was a clear plan in place.

Get him healthy w/e it takes.

Quite frustrating Pats couldn't enjoy much use from most top 2 Pats picks over the last 6 years. . its a miracle they manage to remain so competitive..

Collins, Dobson, Garoppolo, Easly, Richards, M.Brown, Thuney, Cyrus, Rivers, Garcia, Michel, Wynn.

Mike’s outlook is a bit more optimistic:



It’s definitley a concern, but people already expecting him to miss a big chunk of the regular season need to relax.

Wrong.

So from the 2012 to 2017 drafts the Pats havent gotten anything?

I like the plan especially late in Brady’s career. I’m worried we took the wrong back. I’m talking strictly due to knee concerns. Ronald jones felt like a safer pick. Similar talent, much better injury history. (No knee issues)

 

[PatsFan2]

Jeremy Hill giving high Fives what a quiet signing he has been.

fwiw

Do you think he will end up getting the majority of the goal line work this year?

 

[Joey007]

fwiw

So to me the concern is less about how he’ll recover from this injury. My main concern is more about whether or not these injuries will continue to be a trend for him.

I get that. Great fit but the injury history in the 1st is understandable. I don't hate the pick at all. I had a 2nd rd grade but have a thing about drafting RB/WR that early.
