I can’t remember Bill heaping praise on a rookie like he did last night with Chase. He is usually a lot more measured with young players.

He certainly doesn’t look good today

Is “a while” somewhere in between 3 weeks and 9 months?

I think Jonathan Jones in a trade makes the most sense. The Pats are loaded with young talent at cornerback and Jones will probably set the new value at slot corner next year, surpassing Justin Coleman in the ballpark of $10 million, so there’s no chance that he’ll be back. A lot of teams would...

Next man up, whoever that might be

Ben Winter Coates was a “true TE” that was a monster road grader in the running game and a soft-handed receiving threat in the passing game. He had some of the flashy stats, but not the longevity of the pass catching TEs, like Gonzales or Sharpe who couldn’t block for Bleep. Unfortunately...

The era might not be over yet. Assuming that he doesn’t make anyone’s 53, he’ll probably be welcomed back to the Pats practice squad. The two things he has to offer: versatility, and hard work, mean a lot to Bill.

Patriots always need a few good ass whoopings early in the season so that Bill can lay into them and build the foundation.

The guys arms look like tree trunks

His versatility makes him a good catch for the practice squad. Hopefully he won’t get picked up by someone who values versatility, like Bflo, Patricia, or Vrabel.

Looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane

Starting Eric Alexander in the AFC Championship wasn’t such a great decision in hindsight either.

The club should seriously consider unretirimg the numbers that are currently retired. There’s barely enough numbers to go around as it is, and several numbers far more deserving of being retired than those that already are.

We could definitely use a returner so that Jules (or Patrick Chung) don’t risk injury, but Berrios risks landing on the shadow roster as he hasn’t done much to distinguish himself so far.

They have a lot of depth at LB though. If a trade is made, it would be at a position of depth with a player, most likely, who is valuable to the Pats or to another team.

Odd to see Duron Harmon getting reps in the first preseason game though isn’t it?

Say what you will about Roberts, but he has put in some solid years for the Pats and held up well when he was needed. BB says that often a player’s greatest ability is his availability. I don’t think he’ll get cut... Traded maybe.

After Ninko’s retirement and the signings of characters like Eric Lee, James Harrison, Barkevious Mingo, and Cassius Marsh to take his place on the edge, it was great to finally get a guy like Simon who felt like a natural fit. Not sure he’s a lock but would be surprising if he gets cut.

Not sure if the Jets qualify as a rival but I pity them. They haven’t been a legit rival since the Tunabowl.
