2016 Training Camp - Day 4

[AtomicDawg]

Summary from Chris Price

Sunday Patriots practice report: Rain can’t put damper on offensive fireworks from Rob Gronkowski, Martellus Bennett

 

[AtomicDawg]

What other Pats players do they rep?

Jabaal Sheard...perhaps he might be down the pike for a deal.

Ive been reading a loit the last couple of days about dobson and how good he looks. If i remember correctly its never been about talent with dobson its been about health, can he stay healthy and play at least the majority of the 16 games. Players get dinged up during the course of the season, but dobsons dings seem to keep him out for most of the season, hopefully that won't be the case this years.

@AtomicDawg I think Willie's at the Seahawks camp. He's interviewing Michael Bennett.

Doesn't help that all the media guys have started a storm in the last half hour. I'm trying to keep up!

And you're doing a FANTASTIC job. I hope everyone appreciates you as much as I do. It's much easier than trying to wade through links to different writer's articles.

His deal is beyond team friendly. Might try to guarantee more so 2017 and 2018 cap hits are less than 8m and 9m respectfully.

Gronk deserves a big payday and a contract that guarantees that he is a Patriot for the rest of his career!

Wow, really? Why the heck would he tweet that he'd be interviewing the TEs today? Unless he's flying 3000 miles in the next 10 minutes. Oh well, thanks for the info!

The only consolation is he didn't leave the field.

Correct, he apparently held his helmet in his hand for the remainder of practice. Hoping for the best.

Thanks man, means a lot. Shout out to @manxman2601. He's killing it too. It's fun to watch as the Tweets unfold, especially if you have a vivid enough imagination. It's like you're there! Lol

Probably why the tweet doesn't exist anymore.

You're right and I echo the shout out to @manxman2601. Both of you are immense.

First real mention I've seen of McClellin. Nice to see.

If McClellin is going to be in the "Mayo" spot, explosive is just the word you want to hear. Sideline to sideline and impact.

Re Malcolm Mitchell:

Man, Thuney, Mitchell, Karras and Cy. Jones are all receiving high praise. Still early, but it looks like Bill fubar'ed another draft. d%#*!@t.

I'm picking Andrews to win the C battle, barring his own injury. I feel he has outperformed Stork pretty much since making the team, and Stork has not been able to stay on the field in his young career. I know many will disagree because of his draft status and everything, but I really think Andrews is actually slightly better. And I do recall reading in the Day 2 thread (iirc) that Brady really likes him as well. I feel he was prematurely replaced last season when Stork came back, though he did eventually reprise the role whenever the team moved Stork to G. I just like the kid and actually think it's his battle to lose.

The knocks on Andrews have been:

• Strength
• Telegraphing the snap (play?)

He obviously worked on the first in the offseason. I wonder how effectively they can self-scout the second.

It had to be done.
