It's a catch-22, because it does add context:

Without it: "Drake Maye was inconsistent on Sunday, with the QB off target throughout practice."

Reader: 'How bad was it, really? Did he miss a few throws, or did he miss a lot of throws?

That's where the 6-of-12 with the INT does provide context. To your point - jumping to conclusions about a player in July is absolutely something that shouldn't be happening. Granted, there will still be a handful of people, I'm sure, who will now be waiting to see if it's a trend or just an off day, but it sort of is what it is there.

Yeah thats about it. I just would expect more out of him. After hearing "watch out for Maye" and then he goes 6-12 in shorts and shells? Waiting for the camp that he comes in and looks at the defense and says I am eating you up day after day.

Backup OL: Brown, Lomu, Bryant, Crownover. It's all been decided already.

I really don’t hate that as a second unit.

I don't know about Crownover. I doubt they carry only 1 IOL backup in Ben Brown, and 3 backup OT's. I know Lomu may be able to play some Guard in a pinch, but it looks like Rupcich could make the 53. He has center experience too.

Crownover and Bryant aren't locks.

The last spots are open competition.

Surely Wallace has a spot

Crownover would be snagged off any practice squad in an instant

The Pats drafted Solder @ 17 overall in 2011. I wanted them to draft Cam Jordan, who has had a HOF career.

15 years later, the Pats drafted Caleb Lomu @ 28. I think Lomu will be better than Nate Solder.

Also hoping Gabe Jacas will be our Cam Jordan.

Let’s not forget, our defense is pretty f&$&ing good as well. Maye isn’t going up against the Jets or Dolphins. Going to be a fun year ladies and gents.

I'm still hoping they don't get rid of Boutte.
I get it if he wants a better opportunity to get a good contract, that makes sense.
I just think he's too good to let go for crap.

I highly doubt they trade him. The people (media) and some here are on crack if they think he isn't worth much more than a 5th or a 6th. They are smoking the really really good stuff. He is worth nothing less than a 3rd or at worst a 4th. That kind of draft pick, if you got a player of Bouttes' caliber in the draft you would be doing cartwheels.

He ain't going anywhere.

If a 6th round pick looks flat in camp, he is usually not grabbed at cutdown. As the season progresses and guys get hurt, yes, but every team is cutting a Crownover in the fans mind. BTW I think he makes the team, just not a lock.

Last year the board was mostly positive Swinson would be claimed.
