I find it interesting that both of our monster tackles are both really tall as well as being athletic enough to have started as TE's earlier in their careers. Imagine how opposing defenses might react to a Patriots formation of say Faulk, our three tight-ends and Solder/Vollmer as the fifth...

Just off the top of my head (and given that there is only one member inducted each year into the Patriots HOF), I see Brady, Wilfork, Burschi, McGinnest, Troy Brown as being more deserving than Randy Moss. There also are a number of older players to induct before Moss. So if he were to get in...

Didn't Atlanta also pay $75,000 more than the slot was scheduled to receive as per the team rookie pool calculation? Apparently that even exceeded the #19 amount for the player picked one slot earlier. I am wondering if the Patriots issue is that they might have to shift the pool allocation...

Re: Light, G. Warren and Tracy White As I noted in #14 on this thread, Matt Light appears on the roster page and I suspect his resigning has not been announced yet.

Re: Light, G. Warren and Tracy White Just noticed that Matt Light is also listed on the roster (Official Website of the New England Patriots | Team - Players). Does this mean Matt Light is back as well, but not yet formally announced?

Re: Faulk back?? Just noticed that Matt Light is also listed on the roster (Official Website of the New England Patriots | Team - Players). Does this mean Matt Light is back as well, but not yet formally announced?

I thought the old rules were that one could not cut anyone if they were injured after they passed their physicals. However, one could not be on the roster at the start of training camp unless one passed a physical. Interesting question in my mind is whether the Patriots consider the...

Re: Faulk back?? I am glad to see this news. Good for pushing entire offense. Competition for roster spots is going to be intense!

Nothing wrong with MIT Robotic Engineers!!

Here is a link to the conditioning test Ted Bruschi used to have to perform: Tedy Bruschi and Mike Reiss break down the New England Patriots heading into training camp - ESPN Boston "Tedy: My test was three sets of ten 50-yard sprints. You had to complete each sprint in seven seconds, and you...

Ty Warren failed his conditioning test and his physical. After being released, he said others failed their tests as well. Wonder who those players might be? Cannon? Crumpler? Hernandez? Brace?

Surprised to see Crumpler cut... Perhaps his injury was worse than expected?

If Slater is done, who will be the gunners on Special Teams KO and punt units?

This group is so much better than the 2009 training camp TE players led by Ben Watson and Dave Thomas, no??

From the first day of training camp, Patspsycho notes: We have an embarrassment of riches at TE. Lee Smith is an absolute brute. He is a complete specimen. He has all the tools- but there’s another TE that’s a monster, Will Yeatman, an UDFA. He kept catching my eyes. Just a monster with...

I agree that the #3 and #4 TE do not matter much in the greater scheme of things relative to the OL, Brady and receivers. However, imagine for a moment (assuming all make the roster), a formation of 4 TE with Faulk in the backfield with Brady. Assuming that Hernandez and Gronk are at the ends...

Assuming he proves himself in camp, Lee Smith will need to be added to the tight-end group. Have the Patriots ever carried four tight ends before? I see Hernandez being the sixth WR in your scenario above. Also reading the list above, I am not sure we have a gunner (or two) for the special...

I thought you were going to be really Machiavellian and suggest that the Patriots were going to take both Locker and Mallet. You have seen how Bellichick likes to have two rookies at the same position to learn from one another. That said I highly doubt the Patriots take Locker because he said...

Grogan, Hannah and Russ Francis definitely would make my top ten list. Tippett was amazing and probably should be ranked higher than both Bruschi and Harrison amazing as that may seem. We forget what the early years of the Kraft era was like. Bledsoe was incredibly tough to hang in there...

Whether he returns or not, one certainly has admire that one catch against the Jets for the touchdown. I thought that catch was amazing! (And that the rest of the game he was a virtual no-show...)
