PATRIOTS TRAINING CAMP Training Camp Day 10 - August 4

[PatsFan2]

Polk - no however.

Some team will grab him.

I really hope he shows why we picked him in the Second. IF He's pedestrian I wouldn't keep him just because he was a Second Rounder. My Ideal WR's for us are Diggs - Boutte - Pop Douglas - Williams - Polk and Baker. IF the Latter Two make Mack Hollins outplay them doom on them. I know we usually carry Five WR's but for some reason I feel we carry Six WR's this year.

test post...



looks like it worked... we'll see how it goes today...

I don't really have a rosy view on Ben Brown as a "riser."

Bradbury went down, their draftee center is now the starting LG, and Strange shotguns like Cam Newton passes.

Brown is starting because he is the only option in camp who can snap the ball reliably. Kudos to him but that isn't enough to be excited about his prospects.

To the K Boutte haters: it seems like he's made that vaunted jump we have been feining for from a young WR. Same for Pop Douglas; it's been a while but we can finally say: we have some decent young WR's in the wings...ie Pop Douglas - K Boutte and K Williams.

They have made jumps. But not huge jumps i think. I had Boutte ranked higher than most before Camp started. He isn't disappointing me, but i think he could be an Amendola type WR. Not in skill set but career. The kind of guy who never sniffs 1K yards but is one of those sneaky nice to have depth guys that is very solid at getting good yards.

He actually kind of made that jump last year we just didn't know at the time if it was a jump or just sort of by default numbers.

So far this TC he seems to be confirming it wasn't an accident. Right now I think he can still be caught if someone else can make a jump. And hopefully he still has another jump himself too.

One thing I have noted with K Boutte is that he has very good hands. To be a good WR it starts with the hands then everything else will come: IF you can't catch see Harry - Tyquan and others.

Lots of people are picking you guys to be a sleeper team this season.

A lot of things have to come together but we could still not be good and win 2-3 more games because better draft/FA and real coaches and schedule.

Appreciate it. Attending a funeral tomorrow so traveling today and won’t be available this morning or tomorrow morning, so if anyone can help @Pape and post updates, that would be incredibly helpful. Hoping to be back by Thursday morning, but not 100% on that yet.

Don’t want to derail the thread; but.,,,,,

Sorry for your loss. Celebrate the life lived; not mourning what‘s missing now.

Yep, end of the season he looked like he was getting it. Kind of made you wonder if he was going to to keep going into this season and so far it appears he has? He is far away from being the LSU kid with the 308 yard game vs Ole Miss but he does seem to be coming jnto his own. Smooth athlete with good vision after the catch. Him and Kyle gonna make some noise this year.

The more i think about it the more i don't like a 53 roster projection, cause in reality what it is a 51 roster + 2 guys you like. Those last 2-3 aren't there so much for true depth, they are just guys you don't want to see on the waiver wire.

QB (2) Drake Maye, Joshua Dobbs
RB (4) Rhamondre Stevenson, Antonio Gibson, TreVeyon Henderson, Lan Larison
TE (2) Hunter Henry, Austin Hooper
WR (5) Stefon Diggs, Demario Douglas, Mack Hollins, Kyle Williams, Kayshon Boutte*
C (2) Garrett Bradbury, Ben Brown
G (3) Mike Onwenu, Jared Wilson, Cole Strange
T (4) Will Campbell, Morgan Moses, Marcus Bryant, Caedan Wallace

DE (2) Keion White, Milton Williams
DT (4) Christian Barmore, Jeremiah Pharms Jr., Khyiris Tonga, Joshua Farmer
ILB (4) Robert Spillane, Christian Elliss, Jahlani Tavai, Jack Gibbens
OLB (4) Harold Landry, K’Lavon Chaisson, Bradyn Swinson, Anfernee Jennings
CB (5) Christian Gonzalez, Carlton Davis, Alex Austin, Marcus Jones, D.J. James
SS (2) Kyle Dugger, Jaylinn Hawkins
FS (2) Jabrill Peppers, Craig Woodson
ST (4) Bryce Baringer, Julian Ashby, Brenden Schooler, Andres Borregales

Total Players: 49

Right now after what i've read this looks like the roster more or less. I think Strange is still mostly safe. Even though Bryant seems to own the back up LT spot i still think Wallace is solid. I've seen many projections with Larison being cut. But considering how much injuries happen at RB i don't think they carry only 3. And Larison has showed well. I know typically you want 3 TEs and Scott seems to be doing okay, but do we HAVE to carry him? I don't see him not making it through waivers... and if he doesn't... I kind of shrug and say so what? At WR these are the 5 at least early and Bourne is gone.

DJ James has made himself a near impossible cut at the all important CB position, can never have enough young depth there. On DL i think they are happy with these 6 (though there is cross over with OLB obviously. To this point Ponder and Truman though interesting have not shown enough to warrant being kept for sure. Tavai has to be considered safe at this point. He is the kind of guy Vrabel would already cut if he didn't plan on keeping him. And while he isn't built for the standard version of this D there will be looks where they will want to change it where he'll make more sense. at OLB those 4 seem obvious and no one else looks like a keeper. At CB while other guys are on the bubble would anyone lose sleep if Dial got sniped away? Not me. Safety just seems very solid with these 4. No one is making a case to unsettle those spots at all or give a roster push.

So who does those last 4 spots go to? One will be a DB who plays STs... Maybe Dial. At least 1-2 WRs. Polk and/or Chism. Baker will easy fall through waivers. Last spot? Is there really an OL or TE better than what can be had on waivers that far down out depth chart? If not protect your most promising player left... maybe Truman Jones?

KW is a much Faster X: I hope Boutte morphs into X/Z type Receiver like Diggs.
