I'm surprised no one has mentioned saying goodbye to Pepper as being related to the fact we haven't developed a DL draft pick other than Jones in a decade.
No offense taken at all. I've been here too long to take this stuff personally.
I think if we draft two TE's one will inevitably be a later round pick. So let the competition shake out the roster. We drafted Boyce higher than Thompkins (who wasn't drafted at all) but Thompkins beat him out...
Yeah BF I tend to fall on that side as well. On the Pats position changes are rarely tried as often as fans think they will and they usually don't pan out when they are.
Having said that, I went back and watched some tape of him. He runs a LOT like AH. People seem to forget AH wasn't that...
Not sure why you seem upset? I didn't say it lessens the need for a TE in the draft. I said hmmmm maybe this kid does something in practice. It's the dog days of the offseason, lighten up.
Since he never played a snap last season I'm bumping this as relevant. Reiss seemed to draw some similar conclusions. Hopefully the kid pans out at any position.

I'm sure it's something they'll have to hear about all season but it's also something that will keep them acutely focused all season.
The biggest distractions in Patriots history have been Bledsoe/Brady, Milloy being cut, and Spygate. None are murder mind you, but each one of those seasons has...
Am I the only one who can't wait to see camp start?
This Hernandez news has been so draining that it's easy to forget there's a season starting soon. In 25 days this team will regroup and start the grind again.
I can't wait to see what this team becomes this year and who breaks out and...
I figured most people would skim my comments and respond so no harm no foul. I didn't suggest he would be as good or productive as Hernandez. I was simply discussing the idea that he may fill that role and work a similar area of the field.
There are a number of things going against that...
Guys I know it's a long shot but we do have someone on the roster with similar size/weight/speed as Hernandez.
In the signing thread everyone said he was closer to a TE than a WR in the pros. What's to stop him from gaining 10lbs and playing that same TE/WR position Hernandez played so...

I don't have 30 bucks to buy a meal, a couple of beers and tip someone while I sit there for 3 hours to watch game that I can't hear and can barely see.
Re: Help! My Directv Died. How Can I see tonight's game online? (Mod Edit: It's on
Can someone message me that link. This sucks. I got the preseason package specifically so I didn't have to get DirecTV this year.
Ridley has never fumbled in his college career. I doubt fumbling is going to be a big issue for him. Certainly not something that needs to be coached up by Ivan Fears ala Faulk.
Which is exactly why I answered that the way I did. I don't personally think we can score 7-14 non offensive points per game, BUT if we did we'd be in pretty decent shape.
