Bedard mentioned today that run and pass blocking has not been good during 11's but I haven't heard any names mentioned outside of the one on one drills. Anyone have some insight or stories to share on this?

The Dolphins actually lost to the Bills in the 92 AFCCG. Still a long time ago.

No worries and glad you're ok. Was a bit concerned you might be putting in long hours at the casino.

Where are you Ken? I specifically come to the board after each game looking for your idol thoughts.

Interesting comments from Mac postgame about not having a great week of practice which reminded me of when Brady mentioned something similar in 2001 and a few veterans "encouraged" him to speak out when this happens. The rationale being that he is the QB and that is a natural position of...

This is a great pic and what's more interesting is the personnel matchups. Patriots have a very heavy personnel package which could also serve as a goal line group and yet the Bills are in a base defense with 4 db's. This should clearly give the Patriots a run play advantage before the play is...

Good catch, totally forgot about him. I was thinking of other players in the secondary....on second thought, I will rid myself of these thoughts.

very fortunate he's the only one

I may be in the minority here but I want to see Cam and Mac both perform well. I don't look at the week 1 starter as the finish line but just the opening act. I don't even want BB to announce a starter and let the opening possession do that so that opponents have to do extra preparation for 2...

Thank you Ken. I always enjoy your well thought out posts. Something this preseason that I find interesting is they will have 2 weeks from their last game against the Giants until the first game of the regular season. Some years, they have 1week and they are forced to scramble with final cuts...

Very impressed with Harris and how hard he runs and initiates contact. That said, this running style can take a toll so having a stable of quality RB's is not just a luxury but a necessity. Would rather not be in a position when a WR (Patterson) is your starting RB.

Have a good friend who played on the Eagles then.

I'm sure this has been discussed but I don't see a specific thread on it but I'm very curious about the front alignment. I've seen a few games now where there are 2 down lineman with Shelton often over the center and a DE (Guy) lined up over the strong side tackle (where the TE is) and Simon in...

Watch when they go heavy but with Gordon and Harry. The D will still have to play basic. Those 2 guys could block LBs let alone dominate DB's. Or how about a hitch screen to a RB with those 2 guys blocking. The game plan options will be interesting to watch play out.

LOL, maybe I'm confusing him for someone else but I appreciate your tactful way of correcting me. Point of my original comment was about who will be active.

Agree with your assessment but just to clarify I was referring to where they line up (outside or inside) and not where they end up on their route.

I'm pretty sure I've seen him on kickoff return in the past. I did mention to a lesser extent Dorsett.

I'll be curious to see the game 1 actives. I can't see more than 5 active and special teams and position flexibility will influence it. Edelman, Gunner and to a lesser extent Dorsett play ST's and Meyers has played inside and outside. Gordon and Thomas are outside only. I'm assuming one of...

The thing I really like about Meyers is he has lined up inside and outside and we seem to have quite a few outside guys (Harry, Dorsett, Thomas) but outside of Edelman, nobody too experienced inside. Harris seems to have position flexibility too and that's why I see him and Meyers competing for...

Outside of Anderson, the TE's currently on the roster are 255 plus. I'm not sure they are going with a no TE offense so much as the primary role the TE will play. The success of the running game last year had as much to do with Allen and Gronk as it did the Oline.
