Press Conference introducing FAs

[n1997y]

I’m surprised this hasn’t already been posted. Some really great moments. I was especially impressed by Morgan Moses.

Tried to images how some of the diva WRs so beloved by some of our fans on this board would fit into such a press conference.

Looks pretty clear what Vrabes is trying to install as the locker room culture.

One thing I didn't like about the BB era was hiding FA's and draft picks.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Makes sense that they were in on godwin and supposedly kupp now for our wr targets. Not the most explosive guys but they are pretty high character it seems. Hope they do get it done with kupp thats a guy id love to have in a room full of young developing wr’s.

It is a great press conference - thanks for posting it. It looks like Carlton was motivated to sign in NE for a reason that I was not aware of - weed is legal in MA.

and the 2nd reason, he and Gonzo are going to make a ridiculous CB combo that will allow a ton of man defense.

As of March 13th based on their current roster, the Patriots have 71 players under contract or own their restricted free agent rights.

Current Roster

(90 total/71 under)

OFFENSE (33)
QB (3) – Drake Maye, Joe Milton, Josh Dobbs,
LT (3) – STARTING LT, Demontrey Jacobs, Vederian Lowe, Caleb Jones,
LG (2) – Sidy Sow, Tyrese Robinson, Lester Cotton (RFA),
C (4) – Cole Strange, Jake Andrews, Ben Brown, Lecitus Smith
RG (2) – Michael Onwenu, Layden Robinson,
RT (3) – Morgan Moses, Caedan Wallace,
TE (5) – Hunter Henry, Austin Hooper, Jaheim Bell (FB), Jack Westover, Giovanni Ricci (FB), BLOCKING TE,
RB (3) – Rhamondre Stevenson, Antonio Gibson, Terell Jennings, DEPTH,
BIG WR (5) – Kendrick Bourne, Mack Hollins, Jalynn Polk, Javon Baker, John Jiles,
FAST WR (0) – STARTING WR,
SLOT WR (3) – Demario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte, JaQuae Jackson,


DEFENSE (35)
DT (6) – STARTING DT, Christian Barmore, Khyiris Tonga, Jeremiah Pharms, Jaquelin Roy, Eric Johnson, Marcus Harris,
DE (2) – Milton Williams, Keion White,
SLB (3) – Harold Landry, Anfernee Jennings, K'Lavon Chaisson,
MLB (5) – Ja’Whaun Bentley, Jahlani Tavai, Titus Leo, Curtis Jacobs, Truman Jones,
WLB (4) – Christian Elliss, Robert Spillane, Monty Rice, Andrew Parker,
SS (6) – Kyle Dugger, Marte Mapu, Brenden Schooler, Jaylinn Hawkins, Dell Pettus, Mark Perry,
FS (1) – Jabrill Peppers,
BIG CB (6) – Christian Gonzalez, Carlton Davis, Miles Battle, Alex Austin, Marcellas Dial, Isaiah Bolden,
SLOT CB (2) – Marcus Jones, DEPTH, DJ James,

SPECIAL TEAMS (3)
K (1) – Parker Romo,
P (1) – Bryce Baringer,
LS (1) – Joe Cardona,

71 players means they have 19 open spots for the 90 man camp roster, they also have 9 draft picks assuming they use them all. Ten spots available after rookies. And truthfully they have some dogs at the end of the depth chart that could get cut now to save time.

They still don't have a starting left tackle, starting DT depending on Barmore and a size/speed WR that can take the top off or draft coverage... an X WR. Three starters left to find.... currently three desperate needs. They also have to really really trust Parker Romo to kick or bring Joey Slye back. He played well, sign that guy.

They need to keep spending in free agency. If they do and find 3 more starters they can use their entire draft to take the best player available and possibly improve the team greatly.

... I am pretty sure it was an infomercial for the sponsors.

Not as much as this interview afterward. The ball washing in the first few minutes was off the charts. Even Onwenu got fluffed.

But good lulz @ his son asking if he’d played against Vrabel.

Here’s a bit more with Davis. Listening to his comments towards the end especially seem encouraging, taking advantage of bad football sure beats playing bad football!

Great run down, I would have a few players in different positions. At this point the position (Williams at DE or DT) isn't as important right now.

For those interested, skip to 3:40 to avoid listening to Kraft stumbling and bumbling in entirety.

He was my favorite signing so far, because I love watching good man defense and if there is a good pass rush it will lead to a bunch of INTs. The DL will have time to get to the QB because the WRs should not be able to separate from great man corners in less than 3 seconds.

This might be weird but my wiener is tingly right now thinking about our 2 CBs. You can clown all you want cuz it's weird.

How does that work when the NFL bans weed?

 

[slash83]

Really impressed with all of their interviews and how they came across.

Morgan Moses was my personal favorite. Seems like a solid dude.

The Diva WRs you **** on would actually allow our offense to score touchdowns and help develop our rookie QB…do you want defenses to actually have to start doubling some of our WRs or have to game plan for them? Do you want a red zone offense that puts fear into the defense?

Or we could ride with the porous product we have put on the field the past 5 years which includes defenses being able to load the box and play man without fear of an explosive play. Our current WRs put the fear into no one and have resulted in the last place passing offense the past several years. Which is why we can’t win games. Oh but I’m sure Polk, boutte, Douglas, Bourne all interview very well!

Here’s your problem, you are just like all those patriots scouts who have egregiously missed on wide receivers the past decade…looking for choir boys instead of actual quality talent. You need to adapt your way of thinking at the WR position or be prepared to have a slew of JAGs at WR which will result in another bottom of the barrel offense, a struggling Drake Maye, and a last place finish

BIG WR (5) – Kendrick Bourne, Mack Hollins, Jalynn Polk, Javon Baker, John Jiles,


Yikes, that is beyond pathetic. Please help our franchise QB!!! We are going to hang him out to dry with this crop

Seeing the old Scatback was surely a treat, his Depends were filling up with cream.
