PATRIOTS NEWS Patriots / Vikings Joint Practice - Aug. 13, Day 1

[One-If-By-Sea]

I've been pulling for Mapu but he hasn't busted through..

Vrabel just moved Mapu from safety to LB. We will see if Mapu can adjust. Like Chung was great as a SS after he was not that good as a FS. Let's hope but it is hard to keep pulling for Mapu for too much longer.

 

[WhatJustHappened]

Mapu should NEVER BE A SS IMO.
He's a fast LB IMO.
I'M NOBODY, so what do I know, I know nothing, I see what I see is all.

He should have never left LB. I’m not sure he’s going to ever show his potential. Too many bad coaches, playing out of position, injuries, etc. I’m pulling for him but…

 

[DoubleDeluxe]

Think Again.

Flores left after the 2018 season. Gilmore won the DPOY for the 2019 season.

 

[captain stone]

Jennings with a run stuff AND sack...interesting

I wouldn't be so quick to rid myself of him yet either.

 

[captain stone]

I had Williams on Noel dead even as prospects: though Williams is more Explosive!

I would've ran up to the podium to turn in Noel's name at #69.

 

[captain stone]

O/U on games played this year: 9-1/2...

 

[captain stone]

Dobbs has been nothing special and Bakers agent needs to start making calls around the league.

The Pats are moving on from Baker, Polk and Bourne.

Yep; unless some team offers a +6th-round pick for any one of them, then no need to release them now, just use them as injury insurance until Cut-Down Day, then ****-can their asses.

Commentary under by Vikings fans had a lot of them laughing about Garrett Bradbury clips from today. It looked very familiar to them. He was totally lost.

I'm praying the Patriots coaches consider moving Jared Wilson over ASAP.

Bradbury is the weak link on the OL.
He's detrimental to Maye's health.
Can't believe he's gonna be our starting center

 

[TheRainMaker]

If you guys think back, the Year Flores was the DC, Gilmore won the DPOY.
I NEVER thought he deserved that moniker personality.
Flores is MASSIVE PRESSURE.

As already been stated, Flores was in Miami when Gilmore won DPOY in 2019. His gift to NE was week 17 when DaVante Parker went off on Gilmore (his worst game of the season) and played spoiler to the Pats getting the #2 seed.

 

[jimnance]

I suspect that Dobbs was the choice so that Maye wouldn't feel at all threatened. Dobbs can certainly fill that role.

That's the  one thing he does really well.

 

[captain stone]

Don't covet thy neighbors wife

Unless she's, like, totally Bangable.

 

[captain stone]

He's their BedardVolinMannix

Trolin's a couple of notches below the other two.

 

[captain stone]

Wilson 2-0 Hargrave? i said it before and will again... future probowler.. maybe even this year if he starts well.

At what position? Because if it has to be LG then I don't see it.

 

[captain stone]

Yup!
MY SUMMARY

1) We need a lot of improvement on an Offense that is not ready for prime time at QB, OL and WR.

Agree.

2) All we need to be a top Defense is to stay healthy.

We need to first show that we can stop the run when it matters.

And that when - not if - Gonzo & the Doorman are missing games, Marcus, Double-A & at least one of the kids (my preference, in order: James, Battle.) can hold the fort in their absence; or will someone need to go upstairs and wake up one of the nepo-tards and tell them to sign the best veteran CB available?

 

[captain stone]

On a positive line note Bedard had Morgan Moses with a good day!

T Morgan Moses: Was 2-0 in his 1-on-1s and didn't appear to give up much pressure.

ON the negative for the line

C Garrett Bradbury: Had two holds and had a hand in a few sacks during team.

LG Caeden Wallace: Got worked in his two 1-on-1 reps.

This Caeden Wallace at LG idiocy needs to end in, like, ****ing yesterday. What a waste of time this has been, all around.

 

[captain stone]

I smoke two joints in the morning
I smoke two joints at night
I smoke two joints in the afternoon
It makes me feel all right
I smoke two joints in time of peace
And two in time of war
I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints
And then I smoke two more

That's, like, beautiful, man.

 

[Joey007]

I’m starting to think that this will be a common occurrence this season.

It’s been an occurrence in every seaosn he’s played. You just have to hope you get him for 13-14 games at best.

 

[hornetfb85]

So it sounded to me that the practice was fairly even. Considering many felt it would be one sided in Minnys favor I’ll take that as a positive.

 

[signbabybrady]

That's, like, beautiful, man.

Thanks......One might even call it Sublime.
