2018 Training Camp Thread - Day 11 (8/12/18)

Everyone seems to be sleeping on Will Tye who spent last year on the practice squad while rehabbing from a foot injury. I give him a punchers chance of showing something at TE to make this roster.

I think his only realistic chance are injuries to Allen or Hollister. Puncher's chance for that to happen sounds about right.

I am surprised nobody panicked yet over that Guerrero seen walking to the xray room tweet.

I'm guessing some sort of non-contact injury?

I wont seriously think about it until we hear more but there are a couple of players working with Guerrero on various things - not all to the same extend as Gronk, Brady and Edelman.

It could be anything.

He'll need to show that he can catch AND BLOCK better than Hollister, consistently.

Sorry. I forgot the </snark> tag. The "non-contact" part was a joke. Apparently not a good one, though.

Been a long night. Not up to speed yet.

Gill is a dead man walking

Definitely. White,Burhhead and Michel are locks to me.Hill was very good in game 1 and also Webb said hello. Too crowded in RB's locker room to invite Gillislee to the party.

Nice talk w Jason McCourty on his TC and mentoring young CBs

Jason McCourty teaching young Pats CBs while competing

He might have used all his energy to that speech and that is why he has got problems to get to the team roster.

Do you think he could win a game against a mediocre team playing like that? I don't.

He had throws that were late, off target and threw his receivers into coverage. That was not a good night for him. imo

It was a slow start then he played well. That happens and yes you can win that way, in fact he did.

It is true that he didn't have many reps with 1st offence (so normally he did better later with guys he actually practices with albeit against lower competition) . but that should be no excuse for experienced starter in this league so it was quite painful to watch (also for main receivers who ended up with nothing - which is never a good start)

I was relatively comfortable with him as a backup upon signing (experienced, serviceable game manager knowing the system) despite not offering excitement or any expectations . but on Thursday I thought -- this guy's ceiling might be lower than his floor..

Whoever was covering Hogan, "Off with his head!"

Actually, a really sweet double juke by Hogan.

Someone probably replied to this already but I havent' read through the whole thread yet so I'll just say that it looks like Cyrus Jones is the one that got juked.

Might be a bit more game-planning/scheming to get guys open for this week's game. We'll see how he does with that.
