Harris too ?

People forget James White was inactive almost his entire rookie season and early 2015.

Now that it is game day can we stop posting in the AB rape thread so it falls down the first page a little.

No

Some did not think he’d make the team in 2015

 

[Vatahala]

No

Why not?

So I guess that Mrs. White either had the baby, or isn’t in labor. Nice to see that White will be out there. He is a huge part if this offense.

It will be interesting to see if they kick Tuney to RT, and play who knows at Guard, or just insert a new RT

I'm actually hoping they just try someone at RT first and leave Thuney at G.

Who will win more games in Miami this year, the dolphins Or the patriots?

Hint: SB is there.

Some questioned whether he would make the team in 2016. I swear I remember a few people on here thinking that.

I also remember some actively questioning his value as a player well into 2016. Sorry he was my binky from the get go so I enjoy remembering that.

Miami Hasn't Been Kind to Brady

No doubt that Bennett is the more special and talented player. He's also the older player, so we'll have to take another look at this toward the end of the season. As much as I wanted Flowers to stay, I actually like having Bennett on the DL more.

I was getting hammered for saying he’s better than Vereen lol. Might have been by 2016.

Bennett in some decent company on that list

Would be great to get off to a 2-0 start this year. Looking forward to see how AB looks and if he plays today.
After our great performance last Sunday night, I couldn't wait for today!! Defense looked awesome.
Of course hoping for no injuries!!!

Let's discuss.

Go Pat's!!!!!!!

I don't usually spend much time in the GDT but I seemed to have caught this one at the right time.

AB is an incredible story. It's LGB II with a better player and this time the ex-Steeler had to go through Oakland instead of coming right here. That must drive the Steelers nuts.

I was watching another game and I noticed how the teams didn't always make tackles after short completions. The Pats defense seems to perform that task better than other NYFL teams. That's not an easy thing to do in the NYFL.

A certain credible poster was on his ass all season because he wasn’t big in the running game. Finally he started to admit to his worth after Super Bowl 51.

OT: Darnold will miss time into late Oct.

 

[Wax Frog]

FML!!!!

*This wouldn't be a proper game day thread without an FML, and I want to do my part to ease the nerves of the superstitious.

No J. Williams again this week. He was the rookie I was most interested to see play in real action, especially since he got better game-to-game in the preseason. Disappointing.

I think that Williams will eventually be a factor this year. CB is obviously such a strong position for them. He would be active and playing on almost every other team.

Give him time to learn the system, clean up some bad habits/techniques and get stronger the later in the season when they play some elite pass catching TEs, see what he can do. I expect them to deploy either him or Obi in that role.

It could be worse. We could’ve drafted Andy Isabella in the 2nd, amirite Deus?

 

[BobDigital]

Surprised Harris is inactive with Bolden out. I thought they would want to go heavy on RB today as it is likely they will be up a lot in the 2nd half.

 

[Wax Frog]

No

FML redux!!!

I'm actually hoping they just try someone at RT first and leave Thuney at G.

I guess that you expect that we will be in shotgun alot.

 

[1960Pats]

I couldn't agree more . . . and no Gronk at safety if it comes to that again, please.

Either BB got out-coached last year or he got too cute for his own good (and that of the team) by having Gronk out there.

But...

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

I am stuck with NO game on CBS until later today because the Cowgirls are playing.. UGH..

Yes.. Thank god for Streaming

I get 4 hours of infomercials and then the Ratbirds later.

Streaming for me too
