2017 Training Camp - Day 1 (7/27/17)

[BobDigital]

Could Carr knock Danny off the roster?
Was intrigued by the signing when we made it.

DA is not losing his spot. Cause push comes to shove is there a doubt in your mind he won't catch that last second TD in a do or die situation.

Sadly there is just no room for Carr unless an injury happens. Can he make the PS though?

I'd love to see more of this guy at KR.

It may be the only way he can stick (assuming good health) in what is now a very crowded backfield.

Paste-gate?

Been hanging out with Lester Hayes too much.

 

[AtomicDawg]

Didn't hear much on Gillislee today.

 

[long distance]

Looking at some of the games from last year (e.g. Jets 1) I think he pretty much already is.

Don't torture the guy. One can get the same idea about MM watching the SBLI..

 

[PatsBoy12]

Mitchell is going to be special

I can't agree more. I will be watching him and, for some reason, Van Noy the most in terms of second-year jumps (Van Noy second with this team). I like what they both showed for stretches of last season. Mitchell had a great SB and Van Noy made some plays and never really seemed out of place much, unlike McClellin (who has been a dud).

Sounded like he was catching well too.

I would put him on ST, don't wanna risk someone signing him off of PS, could replace DA after this season two

Best thing for him,, too, is that no D can begin to key on him with the cast around him (Cooks, Edelman, Gronk, Hogan). He'll just do his thing against CB2's and CB3's...

Mark my words: Between 2-2:30 F/M I'll b pumping up Carr n questioning Amendola. Troll Central 98.5

 

[PatsBoy12]

Oh god, if true,this makes the offense sooooooo much more dangerous.

This excites me. There have been so many prognosticators saying he'll be cut. I just don't see why the Pats would do that unless he's injured. Even a somewhat less explosive Lewis last season (as he worked back into playing shape and all) was damn dangerous in the open field.

Cooks..........I am......whew, I need a cig. (And I don't smoke)

Came here just for this. I want to see Cooks do some damage to some poor DB's core belief systems. Maybe in the joint practice so none of our guys ends up the sacrificial lamb.

Some nice bits from BSJ - Live coverage: Patriots open camp

• Carr has been the star of day one, with several nice catches.
• Gronkowski is his usual dominating self, and is having a grand old time between plays. He even acknowledged a young lady in the stands that brought a "Future Mrs. Gronkowski" sign.
• Jimmy Garoppolo looks completely at ease with everything. He's being patient in his reads, and throwing the ball with great anticipation.
• Jonathan Jones is getting a long look as the Patriots search for that third corner.
• Rex Burkhead seems to be getting a long look as the two-minute RB. Probably trying to get him up to speed. James White and Dion Lewis know the drill.

Honestly I am very disappointed to not see a single tweet about Gilmore. I know he was out there today. I was hoping he'd make a good impression and seeing as we spent 14M a year on him I was hoping to see the impact today. Not an unfair expectation for a guy you pay that much for.

Looks like inflated Slater..

I'm just glad that play where he pulled up lame was nothing serious. And yeah, 2nd year is usually the sweet spot for ACL repairs.

Zo says BB told him that Saturday will be the first padded practice.
