OT: Josh Simmons steal of draft

[Dec54]

No I don't have a fedora.

What has a Fedora got to do with this. I'm obviously not in the loop here.

 

[Dec54]

Sam should take his misery to the Chefs.

Can Sam be traded? Perhaps to the Jets for a bag of peanuts. Would be a good trade for the Pats

One is just so deep and philosophical that I figured him to be posting from a sidewalk cafe in Paris wearing a fedora and a t shirt that says BARD.

Thanks Huck, I see your logic.

Evan Lazar on Will Campbell:

"I came away from these padded practices just blown away by his run blocking ability"

People are too hyper focused on the occasional pass rep where he loses. I still think he'll be fine enough as a pass blocker and Josh's offense is quick throws, run the ball and play action to go down the field.

Also interested in seeing Marcus Bryant in pre-season. He's getting good reviews against the 2's, if he can develop...

"6-foot-7, 320-pound frame. Bryant clocked an eye-opening 4.97-second 40 time pre-draft, and he possesses 35-inch arms."

7th round long shot but so was Jordan Malaita, intriguing player.

One of Campbell’s best qualities imo is his willingness to take coaching and apply it. I think he’s going to get really high quality coaching and work his ass off to be able to use it, and he will be a good left tackle for them for years to come.

Seems like Demontrey Jacobs have rubbed off on OL Coach Doug Marrone: he's getting a lot of run. Marcus Bryant intrigues me: he played alongside Armand Membou in College.

I have the same thoughts. Just seems like a guy that will do whatever is necessary to learn from his mistakes, correct them and ultimately succeed. I know it's cliche, but people underestimate the non measurables of a player. Brady is oblivious the extreme case of this, but it was not his athletic ability the made him great, it was his unwavering commitment to excellence and doing whatever was necessary to be the best he could be, every single day. Now before the vultures come in to say I'm comparing him to Brady, I am not, I'm simply stating he seems to have the makeup/attitude to put in the work to get better everyday, which I think will result in quality LT. I could be wrong, it's happened a couple times in my life!

I think Campbell will be fine. I don't know if he will be better than Simmons, but I also don't really care. All I care about is that he's the best LT we have on the roster, and depending on Moses's proximity to the cliff, maybe the best tackle on the roster. This line seems to be so much better than last year, which is the number 1 thing I wanted this off season. How posters are choosing to be upset by that is kind of beyond me, but that's their right.

A negative prediction is as bold as a positive prediction, sometimes bolder.

A negative prediction has no less value than a positive prediction. They are both predictions.

It isn't the negative of the positive, it's the UNRELENTING nothing but negative.

Especially when coupled with what is, by all reports, outstanding athleticism.

This website is overwhelming with positivism, including me. Looking and projecting based on individual posters without looking at the overall situation is missing the forest for the trees. I understand that the one poster being a continual pessimist is upsetting to you, but if you look at the PatsFans website overall, this is the most pro-Pats place on the Internet. If a few "negative Nancys" upset you, please put them on Igonre and life is good.'

Should I put on a Fedora hat now?

Only if it has a feather in it

I can give credit where it's due. If he stays healthy and they got a steal good for the Chiefs.

That obviously doesn't mean the Patriots made a mistake with Campbell or should have picked him instead of Campbell. A torn patella like Simmons had is a very bad injury for his position. Personally I'd stay away from a guy like that in the first round for a team with a lot of needs like ours.

I don't do feathers. I tried that and my GF said it was too much tickling.

They didn’t tickle her fancy eh?

Maybe you need to use them to tickle her elsewhere…

@Huckleberry1 thinks I am a French stud sitting at a cafe in Paris wearing a fedora. I have been to Paris about 20 times (my favorite city, @maust knows my love of cognac) but I found that a French beret was more effective than a fedora, with or without a feather.

Can’t be. That’s a fedora, not a beret. He said he wears the beret as his studmuffin topping.
