PATRIOTS TRAINING CAMP 2026 Patriots Training Camp - Day 9

[PatsFan2]

So cut Williams, go with the other 6 WR's, and keep Palmer on the PS?

A couple of practices ago our #1 Defense stifled Drake Maye with C Davis out. Not happy with our Offense in that set; yeah I know the Defense gets paid to play too but: it's a shame no one could shake loose. I can't wait to the Joint Practices against other Teams to get a read on this Offense.

Late-round rookie? Woodson was taken 10 picks after Watts was.

OK - what is your point then? He was not available when the Patriots picked Woodson so I fail to see your point here. Seems strange to belly ache when the guy selected in the fourth round started all year and played very well for them. Or did you want them to pick Watts instead of Wilson who was picked one pick before him? Give me Wilson and Woodson over Watts and whoever they would have picked for IOL in the fourth. I think Wilson will be a very good center. They have had two very good back to back offseasons including draft and free agency. Harping on the Woodson pick just seems like arguing for arguing sakes.

Every 3wr set had a slot. Very few teams reserve that to be a small quick guy who runs short routes. Most teams interchange all WRs into the slot.

We’re only discussing the Pats.

Bottom line, Douglas sat in the bench last year while we used 3 outside receivers and this year we have 3 better ones.

Pop started the first month of football as the starting slot WR. That changed when there was little production, but snaps and targets started to increase more as they found him a role.

Douglas’ only ability that would get him on the field ahead of these 3 is quick short routes. That will get him PT on 3rd downs like last year, but not in the base offense.

We’ll see, don’t be surprised if he’s starting in the slot once again.

 

[Wozzy]

Yeah let’s turn Drake Maye into Chad Pennington so we can gain fewer yards on pass plays.

He looked like Lamar Jackson in the playoffs.

Looking good against lower tier teams in the regular season is not the same as being effective against top tier defenses in the playoffs.

Teams are better in the playoffs, defenses are better, windows are smaller… being good at converting against pressure is important.

 

[Wozzy]

Douglas played 17 snaps a game last year. His last 8 games including the playoffs produced 12 catches for 129 yards. His momentum was in reverse

He was twice as productive in the second half of the regular season as he was the first. He led the entire team in receiving in the Super Bowl. Don’t be surprised if they start him in the slot again, like they did at the start of last year.

Youre a liar and always have been.

Provide proof and youll still try to weasel a way out.

Your “proof” says the opposite of what you claim it does.

 

[PatsFan2]

The other part of the team building equation is that you do have Williams for a couple more years, and need to see what you have in him with the ones, Boutte is also blocking that from happening.

Williams was much more productive than Boutte in their rookie years (yes, yes, different teams, QBs, coaches, ect...), has an element of speed/explosiveness that the WR core is missing overall.

If you want to keep Boutte for injury insurance go for it, but make him the last guy in the X rotation.

At least Boutte can run more than one route. We haven't seen that from KW though we are all hoping.

 

[Ring 6]

1 You tried telling us that McDaniels got fired because of Hollins. LIE and Clown shoes comment.
2 You claimed that Baker and Polk had more upside than Hollins. Clown shoes comment
3 You claimed that Hollins was the # 1 WR because Diggs was not signed yet. Clown shoes
4 You claimed that Hollins would be WR5 or inactive. Clown shoes

At this point you are a joke.

1) I never ever said that. I said McDaniels played Hollins 94% of the snaps and the offense sucked and he didn’t bring him back.
As always you said I said this and I didn’t.
2) I actually said any young player has more upside than Hollins. Do you really think Hollins is still in the improving part of his career?
3) I did not say that at all. I said in response to WHy did ThEy SiggggN hOlLInzzzzzzz? That when they signed Hollins they hadn’t yet signed Diggs or drafted Williams so things have changed.
If you can find a post where I said that Hollins was signed to be the #1 or hr was the #1 I will bit you a steak dinner and resign from this board forever. I am calling you out as liar and backing it up. Prove me wrong or you are a liar.
4) I did not. I said that IF Hollins were # 5 then he would be inactive and it wouldn’t make sense to keep an aging journeyman around to not play.

You just listed 4 things that I never ever said but that you either from being a moron who can’t understand English or being dishonest attributed to me. And now your “proof” is the original incorrect attention.

 

[Ring 6]

Triumph and AJ you guys are killing me.

Up is down
Left is right
Dogs and cats are sleeping together.

Triumph is a flat earther.

Liar

Everything is in the thread that I provided. More lies wont fix it.

I called Hollins making the team and adding to the NE offense.

You wanted Polk and Baker like a dumbaxx.

Did you read the thread. All of those things are this in that thread that I did not say and you said I did.
Go ahead and find a single quote where i said any of those things and again I will quit the board forever.
All you can find is you saying I said things I didn’t.
I’ve already explained this in detail.
It’s awfully early in the day for you to be drunk already.

Again, your ignorant low intellect version of a conversation that was entirely different.
Is English a new language for you?

100 quatloos on the champion

 

[PatsFan2]

100 quatloos on the champion

It's going to be a while.

 

[DoubleDeluxe]

100 quatloos on the champion

Which one is the Champion?

Why bring up that McDaniels was fired in a Hollins thread?

Because youre a liar. Stupid too.

You suck at football and being a liar.

So cut Williams, go with the other 6 WR's, and keep Palmer on the PS?

I just discovered Williams is not even the fastest WR on the squad. Nick DeGennaro is.

I mostly don’t care who makes the roster, they’re all good players and mostly seem reasonably good people. My one binkie is Mack Hollins just for marching to his own drummer and doing it so well.
