PATRIOTS NEWS Patriots Training Camp 8-1-2023

To be fair, he was complimentary when it came to JuJu.

You turned over a new leaf? Trying to be fair these days? After having a kid, you have gone soft?

Two. I’m too tired to be an ******* all the time now. I’ll shoot for 75% of the time if it makes you feel better.

 

[Ross12]

Worth mentioning, a lot of the WRs on this team have not run the more “traditional” Patriots offense that BOB is steering the team back toward. Sure, he will build on it with modern concepts, but it’s still going to structurally be similar to the McDaniels offense from a language/role standpoint, compared to the Frankenstein ****show that Patricia and Judge put together last year. Parker and Thornton both just arrived last year so have only experienced the Patricia system. Juju and Gesicki are new this year so have experienced neither. It will take a bit of time to get more acclimated. I imagine Henry and Bourne are more comfortable.

Congrats on the two. I have three - big mistake - stop at two and enjoy. Three is chaos - they outnumber the parents which is never a good thing.

Thanks, dude. Yeah, after we had the second, we knew there was no shot of a third. One of my direct reports comes from money and they just had their 7th kid. He couldn’t pull out of a driveway.

I need you to be more toxic

Suddenly a big Patriots rumor about trading for Taylor.
I don't want to give up whatever massive asking price would be associated with him. Not to mention a huge price tag.
We have a RB1. If they want to pay modest $ for Zeke or even Hunt, I'm fine with that for a good vet backup.

 

[Toofy]

All the teams with franchise caliber QB's and a superweapon who failed last season disagree.

They won thanks to their overachieving defense . If that defense faltered mahomes might not have been able to sustain.

Taylor makes zero sense right now.
If we didn’t have Rhamondre sure.
Plus Irsay hates us. Not happening.

We felt the same. A few months after our son (our second child) was born we said “there’s no way we can do this a third time.” Couple months after that, I had a vasectomy. Lol

After the third, I had a V. Just a little too late, but I am always late on the uptake. Having said that, the 3rd was the easiest and best athlete by far. So today I don't regret it, but there were some lean tough years. 3 college educations was not easy too.

 

[WinstonSmith]

I like Sow, Mafi, Jake Andrews and Russey.

Not high on Stueber or Hines.

I don't think much of Stueber or Hines either, and have both of them relagated to back of the 90 scrub status, but just saw the below tweet. Just words, but the first bit of good news that I've heard regarding Stueber.

 

[TheBeers]

Stueber is also a giant at 6’6” 318, it’d be nice if he could turn onto a decent/good player

 

[mgteich]

Not entirely new. He took snaps there in college. Just not a lot.

Perhaps Sow is our #4 OT (and 10th OL). playing behind Brown, McDermott, and swing OT Reiff.

Anderson hasn't been on the field. Perhaps, he will start the season on NFI.

 

[Betterthanmost]

Yeah.. this is why they call it training camp.. installing plays, guys getting acclimated, endurance ,conditioning...

I don't mind hearing struggles in camp.. all that matters is week 1 on on..

Someone I respect their opinions is going everyday and saying Mac is not making NFL opened throws. He seems to be holding back and just throwing check downs and is generally slow to react. Hearing Juju gets open quite a lot and Mac does not see him, timing is off. The stats shows Mac is doing ok, but there are warning signs that there may be issues. I still hold up hope that it is early, he does not know some of these skill position players and he will get better. I also had hope last season so what do I know?

We have had several reporters saying the opposite - that Mac is at least trying higher difficulty throws while Zappe is the one hitting check downs. Also, lately 50% of Mac’s completions have been to Juju. Doesn’t make sense to spend all of camp hitting one player.

Both guys are big but not very athletic, it's possible one of them is so technically sound he can overcome a lack of athleticism but cases like that are rare. Barring a serious spate of injuries, I don't see either guy making the 53.

Wasn't that true for literally one day of camp? I'm asking honestly, because from my recollection there was a single session in which that seemed to be the consensus from the beat, but not the overall tone of the coverage for all of the practices. They also had the Sunday session in which by most accounts Zappe attempted (and completed) the higher difficulty throws.
