I like Bethel. With so many defections on STs, I am counting on him to continue his good play within that unit.

 

[luuked]

Lets go...

Camp starts in earnest and so will the evaluations. Can't wait to see how various positional battles shake out.

 

[luuked]

Hopefully not already the end of the Jeff Thomas project.

 

[Family]

This used to be my happiest time of the year, but I have to admit not even having heard of people.

Thanks luuked for the updates. Hope all is well.

Hes a long shot. If the Pats go with 6wrs, which seems unlikely but possible, hes in a 3way battle with Olzsewski and Byrd for 2 spots. (je,harry,sanu,meyers are all locks imo) Right now , hes obviously dead last. Thomas has a lot of ground to make up.

 

[A Defiant Goose]

Is this actual day 1 finally?

[luuked]

Guess we should actually have a first indication by the end of the week how it looks early on.

Terry Brooks? Who the feck wants to listen to that pile of less-than-useless trash?

Patriots Add More Tight End Depth By Signing Veteran Alex Ellis

Absolutely feckin disgraceful.

We needed a solid veteran to help the 2 kids in the TE room, and Little Billy Notgoat gives us these two completely useless Wish-they-were-JAGs instead.

The Tank for Trevah begins apparently...

 

[luuked]

Of particular note to me that Reiss now refers to Eluemunor as OT. I guess those reports of him getting some snaps there were not just an experiment ?

Patriots Waive Injured Wide Receiver Two Days Before Training Camp

Never should've been here in the first place...but Billy will just replace him with another non-NFL-caliber piece of crap anyway...Tank for Trevah!

 

[Triumph]

Really pulling for JJ Taylor and of course my boy Rohrwasser

Captain, you are in mid-season form already! Love it...

I don't think he is behind Gunner. Whatever experience advantage he has from a year in the system is nullified by how much behind Thomas he is when it comes to moving across the field like a WR. And it doesn't look like his punt returns will bail him out this year. He actually needs to show a real jump as a WR.

I said it somewhere else but the only two locks I see are Jules and Harry.

Sanu still has to show that he can bring enough additional value inside relative to his price tag. Hell, Byrd might be less redundant than Sanu because he has a unique skillset (i.e. burner) among our WR group.

Meyers is not even close to being a lock imo.

All that being said you are right that Thomas has a huge uphill battle and the most likely scenario is landing on our PS.

Despite what I said, I would still prefer
Thomas make it ahead of Gunner. Hes obviously got a much higher ceiling. But I dont recall him being involved w. any of the throwing sesssions w. Stid or Cam.
Gunners got that year under his belt plus Byrd has played w. Cam.
I just hope Thomas gets to practice soon.
