Patriots Training Camp- Tuesday August 16th

[PatsFan2]

1 - Parker
2 - Agholor
3 - Bourne
4 - Meyers
5 - Thornton
6 - Wilkerson
7 - Nixon
8 - Humphrey
9 - Wild card - Montgomery who can also play WR

Way too many WRs. They could trade 1, cut 2 and still have a very good starting WR group.

Thornton the way he's performing could potentially be a #2 on this squad sky's the limit.

C'mon @Zuma ....you could be on the bubble after this

Foxboro flu candidate.

I got what I asked for that's for sure, as it seems like our secondary was the highlight of the day, headed by Mills and Marcus. Next time, ill just ask for a quick billy

But Im not sure Im fully onboard with the WR hype train... Ive been reading a bit from the Panthers perspective, sure seems like our offense all around was... not good, although with a good finish - at the same time, it might've been our best of the year, too

Now, this is the first time Im kinda sad we only have 3 pre-season games... For the looks of it, at least some of these two game will have to be as much of a "real thing" as it can be for August.

I really hope we shake off our "Slow start" trait, in a way. I don't think we can reliably let September be an extended pre-season anymore as it was with TB12

Some more notes:

 

[TommyD4207]

They can roster Montgomery as the 5th RB, he does both. Humphrey will get cut.

7 is still too many, expect a trade of everyone is healthy, maybe two trades.

I really hope not.

 

[TheRazorsEdge]

Remember when fans were like "we can't draft wrs!" , "They just don't pick up the offense!"..and then we land Jakobi Meyers and now it's like "we need to trade him!" .. "he's not explosive enough"..all the while he's literally the qbs favorite target - dating back to last season.

Hate it when that happens.

One needs to read the camp reports on Randy Moss in 2007

Bourne is not Randy Moss.

 

[JackBauer]

All Wilkerson has done is show up when his number is called he has to make this team.

Does he, though?

Some more notes:

Devante and the fades you throw it only where your guy can get it hope jump ball Mac have some touch.

 

[Wozzy]

I really hope not.

Why?

 

[Wozzy]

Does he, though?

Yes, otherwise we lose him for nothing unless we get something for him in trade.

Did the Panthers observers give completion numbers for their QBs? I’d be curious to see that.

70% completion rate isn't bad. I'm not too worried about what the Panthers thought. Everyone is looking at it from their team is a contender right now.

The Panthers have one of the better defenses in the league. It’s an important distinction.

They can keep

WR
Agholor
Parker
Meyers
Thornton
Wilkerson
Slater

RB
Harris
Stephenson
Strong

Montgomery
Bourne
and add using them in third down situations as sort of a RB to replace James White

Why can't this be the roster and plan?

This kind of thing only really makes sense if you place it in the context of an entire 53 man roster. Someone has to lose a spot for Wilkerson, and it's a lot harder to say that someone has to make the roster once you're actually trying to find a spot for that player.

because you're not Bill Belichick?

 

[PP2]

Scuffle with Wilkerson...punches thrown. Lots of players. Bourne and Wilkerson to the locker room.

I love it.

Tells me that practice was at a game-level intensity. Valuable, irreplaceable reps here. Basically will end up being the equivalent of having played 4-5 preseason games, once all is said and done.

Edit: kind of same problems as last year with the o-line, they struggle with stunts and power, bigger DT
