2019 OTAs/Minicamp Thread

[Keyser Söze]

Guys in one off season my Collins and Mayo Jersey came back to life. Well, the Mayo one always was but is even more now lol.

I got real pissed after I bought a Spikes jersey and he is off the team the next year. Then same with Collins. Then Mayo retired.


Why I only get LB jerseys, I have no idea. Went with Gilmore this year.

Might want to stick with just franchise players for jerseys. You’re always gonna get burned if you don’t.

Harris looks like the leader at WR3 entering training camp.

No question. DeBarge is doing real well.

I know it's just passing camp but this kid seems like WR2 right now. Dorsett is the incumbent and Harry obviously the bigger prospect but other than Jules the other spots are very much up for battle especially until injured and suspended guys come back.

I know it's good to test N'Keal early by putting All-Pro CB Stephon Gilmore on him but man, shutting him down without a catch? That's so mean, but I love it. I think N'Keal will learn more by getting dominated early in practice, and help him develop as a WR in the long-run.

Yeah just gotta be careful. There was a DB we drafted in 97 named Canty. He got abused by pats WR so badly that they were eventually told to “back off” by Carroll to help improve his confidence.

I heavily assume it's a load management thing with Sony. Of course him not being there leaves room for speculation but I expect him to be there day 1 of training camp.

On another note, it's good to read that Duke Dawson having a good minicamp week. I'm obviously one of the few who still has very high hopes for him. So that's a welcomed sight.

Stidhams impressive start is one of the best stories in camp. Etling obviously has no future as an nfl QB and hoyer is old and untalented. Would love to see stidhman continue to impress and establish himself as the clear cut backup

One of BBs best ever free agent signings, worth every penny

I have a question for this entire forum.

Do you think any athlete in history is in his physical prime at age 42?

Yes and no.

I totally believe that some people can get in better shape than they were before. It's not even hard to imagine. When you're in your 20s you're doing blow off of stripper ****s and doing butt chugs. When you're older you start feeling youth slipping away so you start to focus in a way you never did when you were 20.

What undeniably is worse is your recovery time. I'm much stronger in every way possible than I was when I was in the previous best shape of my life at 32. I have equal or possibly better cardio health now too.

But in my early 40s now if I sleep wrong I'm ****ed up for 1-2 days. Pull a muscle in my back I'm ****ed for a week. I had a fraction of the recovery time when I was younger.

A lot of talk about Michel's knee issues. But aside from what happened last training camp I haven't heard anything. Does anyone have a link about knee injuries or knee cleanouts or any link to anything about Sony and his knee/knees problems?

 

[Vindicate]

Great, now we're going to lose Gilmore.

I shoulda bought a Richards college jersey, pre-draft....

Sorry guys

Legit thought Collins was gonna be one. He was by far my favorite player. Def was surprised when the stuff hit the fan with him. I also just like defensive players more.

On the NFL Network yesterday, Giardi indicated, but did not flat out claim, that it was load management.

Well, except for Adalius Thomas, of course

Catch of the day came courtesy of Phil Dorsett, leaping over rookie CB Joejuan Williams in the right corner of the end zone. Brian Hoyer was delighted by the play. #Patriots

In these offseason workouts, you typically see Brady completing 70-75 percent of his passes, so the 73.4 completion rate was solid for the three-day camp.

Patriots QB Tom Brady on if he still wants to play til he’s 45: “I hope I can play that long.”

Isaiah Wynn did some pass pro drills. Feet look good. #patriots

Excellent news ahead of training camp. Let's hope he continues the upward trend.
