2018 Training Camp Thread - Day 10 (8/7/18)

[PatsFan2]

I think we've seen enough of TC to roughly know what we have. Berrios is not going to be worth a 53 man roster spot. McCarron has at least shown potential, but we also know the team really likes Britt. I don't think the team is desperate for a way to keep McCarron.

As for "familiarity with the offense", what makes you think Britt wouldn't be in a better place than at least Berrios, having been with the team longer? I think you're overrating Berrios and McCarron because of past players who have nothing to do with them, and underrating Britt because he's a jerk.

Has Britt shown anything?? Not really to my knowledge what I'm saying is both McCarron and Berrios have the make up and skill sets that traditionally does well here...you should know that. Britt is a Retread and Decker is a proven and better player than all of them.

Moss was just the HOFer Moss and 2014 was Statistically one of LaFell's Best years... Brady cannot make chicken salad out of chicken ####. Those Players have to make plays too. If the WR suck they will not have Brady's trust. I think we have a paltry group at the moment.

Of course Moss is the outlier. But the point is he is not a quick, shifty WR. Neither was JoJo or Givens. They just ran good routes and got open. If you do what you are supposed to here and get open, Tom will get the ball to you.

Aside from JE and Hogs, we can debate if the rest of the WR group is any good. There is no doubt Britt, Decker, McC, Patterson, Cherrios, Dorsett are very much question marks but to say they are paltry is judgemental. Just gotta see...

If you don't think he's got some strong opinions by now, I don't know what to tell you. They're not necessarily what you or I say, but he definitely has some plans in mind already.

Apart from he players that get injured or cut nothing that happened so far will have too much impact on the roster selection relative to what is still ahead in the next 3 weeks of camp. You are way too early to say we have learned all we can from camp.

Berrios and McCarron have both a legit shot at playing Decker off the roster. Similarly, Britt can still play himself off the roster. And those are just the WRs.

He traded for 4 players at the end of last yrs TC alone. Its competition every day here and its true..

Decker's last 1000 year was 2015. Britt's was 2016.

Decker is better than Britt but not by a landslide.

Why surprisingly?

Maybe a play on his last word you wouldn't expect pleasant to be rough and physical.

Its the second time .. looked like a good vet depth signing
he better shape up if he wants to see another week

 

[Ring 6]

expect 3TE plenty . esp in Sept
last yr it was about stretching the field to help dunkin'
this yr seems to be about the trenches & physicality taking the pressure off TB & passing game

I wouldn’t put too much stock in one practice drill.
We have the GOAT we will continue to live or die in his shoulders IMO.

Decker's last 1000 year was 2015. Britt's was 2016.

Decker is better than Britt but not by a landslide.

Decker sustained a real serious injury on 2016 up until then he almost had Five over a 1000yds season in a row one just being under 1000. Britt once in his career hitting that mark come on dude...Decker > Britt.

This will be huge, if the offense can establish a consistent running game, for play action. Like shooting fish in a barrel.

That humidity is quite formidable.

Don't just take my word for it. #58 is out there.

Look at the career numbers and look at the last 2 years. As I said Decker is better but its not like Moss vs JoJo LaFell.
