[Love The Drake]

Polk for McLaurin?!?!

In a nanosecond!

With a right third I would be his Uber driver for that deal.

Excellent review of the first day:

Patriots training camp Day 1 takeaways: Stefon Diggs, rookie wide receiver shine

What happened at Patriots training camp today? Here’s everything we saw and learned on Day 1 in Foxboro.

It seems to me that beyond the play, the most interesting development is that Wallace was used at left guard, and not right tackle.

From what I've read Moses had a horrible day, which isn't a great concern, except D Jacobs is backing him up.

I never thought Robinson was that good, and it's early, but what are they doing?

Diggs gave that pup a little too much of that pink powder. Looking like Rocky Balboa chasing a chicken.

Looks like a great couple. His gf/wife looked so happy, very cute. Puppy was adorable.

OL review with no pads, good or bad, is pointless. It's interesting to talk about who was used where, and with whom, but performance is fairly meaningless. DL too, for that matter. Talk to me when the pads come on.

I feel like the post BB era starts right now. Last year doesn't count

Last year???

Yeah, camp doesn't really start until Monday.

Love to see this. I felt like there was a lot of lost time last year.

 

[borisman]

I know this is tempting fate but I haven’t seen a single tweet about Will Campbell yet which might be a positive sign.

Edit: Just seen there are no pads so that would explain it.

Pads come on Monday

 

[Wozzy]

No we won't. Not even close.

And "best"...? Seriously?

Take your Zoloft

Difference between an amateur gig and a professional operation.

That was miserable last year trying to convince ourselves we were going in the right direction.

But where they lineup the very first day tells us where things stand now. The positions seemed to line up everywhere else.

I'm not concerned about play. It's about how the coaches perceive the players as training camp begins.

Sure things can/will change, and players will get moved around, but beginning like this doesn't go without meaning.

First I did not find a dog.

It was cool to check out some puppies but for a lot of reasons I think I'm going to get an older dog. It was pretty crowded though and I'm sure some families got/will get a little bigger after the event. It was tough to get info from the volunteers because it was busy.

It's still a little soon after my last dog passed but in the next few months I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for my next best friend.

My bulldog Bruschi died 3 weeks ago. Cant even bring myself to thinking about getting another dog right now.

Oh.. Great.. Our Savior has "butter fingers".... *sigh*

But maybe the puppy was "fixed", so there wasn't really any ball security issue

 

[dliverey44]

If this duo can stay healthy they are going to be a ****in problem for most IOL, interior pass can impact the play significantly because the QB doesn't have the ability/room to step up in the pocket. Those 2 in the middle will allow the LBs and Edge rushers a lot of 1v1 opportunities.

I don't think I have been this excited for a Pats D since the early 2000's

 

[dliverey44]

its aggravating to hear because there was nothing said or rumored about Polk prior to... Vrabel laid out all the injuries and expected return times in one of his pressers... then this...

He has off season shoulder surgery. This really isn't a huge surprise despite Vrabes not saying it.

Sorry to hear that. Louie passed about 3 weeks ago too. I'm the opposite though I'm having a hard time without one. I do think today would probably have been too soon but I'm keeping an eye and hopefully the right one finds me at the right time.

Love the name by the way. The real Bru was a bulldog too.
