PATRIOTS TRAINING CAMP Training Camp Day 10 - August 4

[Uptown]

So far Maye and Campbell reports are lukewarm. Swinson and farmer 0 mentions anywhere . Boutte , henderson, Pop, wilson, DJ James stock has popped up pretty high .
Williams and woodson are having a. Decent camp.

As for the rest we need to ponder.

I think Boutte is going to make the Troy-Brown-jump more than Pop or Diggs.
Those 2 will probably be similar in numbers - like around 60-70 catches, ~750yds. (Diggs will draw a lot of coverage)
But Boutte could jump from his 43 to in the 80's, and surpass them both as the receiving yards leader (~900)
Whether it's Hollins, Williams, Bourne - they'll sprinkle in with ~20 catches.
The TE's & RB's will have a good amount too & probably getting the bulk of the pass TD's.

Not over Diggs my friend: we hope his ceiling is a poor man's Diggs: who can beat #1 and destroys #2 coverage. Remember when we thought JC Jackson was very good Diggs brought him back to earth.

Oh I remember that game. Did Diggs end up with 3tds? Maybe is just 2. One thing for sure JC didn't stand a chance in that game.

McDaniels don't usually play Rookie RB's early: seems like Henderson is going break that trend. McDaniels is not bringing along this Rookie RB slowly: really hope Henderson lights a fire under Rham. Vrabel will not tolerate a Fumbler... protect the Football Rham or you will be watching from the Bench. Henderson is a way more Explosive athlete.

Anybody seen this move from Ja'Lynn Polk??

That was smooth, he just does not look very quick to me and I feel like thats a problem. Having said that though, I realize there have been numerous success stories of players with Polks skillset/there lack of.

I thought the same watching it. He does not look "sudden" at all to me.

You just brought a player back my memory when thinking about Polk's skill set: Malcolm Mitchell. It's a shame that bum knee cut his career short: but yeah Polk's ceiling could be Malcolm Mitchell.

What if he's going against #3 CB or a nickel set: not every CB in that set is lockdown. I think Josh can scheme him open. Let's give Polk the benefit of the doubt: the guy started his career with my a joke of a QB and HC. I think there's sometime there.

If he can pass protect, which he can, then he’ll play, early and often.

Best Pass Blocking RB in the class.

Surprise cut candidate?

 

[Lambeau12]

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.

I’m thinking it might not be this year but next year for sure that you make the playoffs.

 

[upstater1]

He hasn't been working there: Marrone thinks he's better suited at Guard. I think the writing is on the wall.

This was the common thought from coaches and fans at PSU as well.

I do see that comp. I still see Jakobi Meyers everytime I watch him. I thought Meyers was the unsung hero at NC state.

I think if Polk were moved into the slot he would be a meyers clone

I’m hoping by midseason Diggs and Boutte are duking it out for WR4 behind Williams, Chism, and Baker. And maybe even Henderson.

Remember, Diggs looks great for a player coming off an ACL repair, but he’s still coming off an ACL repair.

Diggs and Boutte duking it out for WR #4? Those are some pretty aggressive hopes. Sorry, but hope should have some possibility of coming to pass, and that is not going to happen in this case.

I’ll grant that Baker suddenly getting his head straight to step up is a reach, but is that really true for Williams and Chism, and Henderson?

We’ve got sone young guys who are unproven but have the potential to be really special.

Yes, it’s aggressive. I like to be aggressive on the gridiron.
