Love hearing that Patterson is making these catches, but I can't help but feel if all your notable catches are one-handed, you're probably not getting enough separation. Veteran DB's will know how to disrupt those catches if you don't have that extra half step to secure it with your other hand.

Imagine if Etling really has a great career. The guy running the "Danny Etling's HOF jacket" account is gonna be so happy.

I'm not sure Randy Moss is the standard we should be holding Patterson up to.

Guys who don't show enough in practice don't play in the games.

They dont play in Super Bowls either.

Boss? It was a douche bag answer, when there was no need for it to be a douche bag answer. When he drafted JAG in 2014, was he just thinking about 2014? Of course not. He had a softball question, and he still decided to be an *******.

At least he's consistent.

Ok Mazz

So, logic puzzle time, if we're:

A) Dismissing Patterson's catch yesterday because it was over Richards.

and

B) Dismissing Richards' INT because it was thrown by Hoyer.

Then what will happen if Hoyer throws a completion to Patterson over Richards? Show your work!

In his defense, it was a question from Volin. He probably deserved it.

Well since we're now playing a game of semantics, I said veteran DB's will be able to break those up, while Hooman was clearly being covered by a linebacker

 

[maineman209]

he will probably want to carry a veteran RB that he can pound the ball with 15-20 times,

That's actually been an anomaly with the Pats over the past decade or so. Really, only Ridley in 2012 and Blount in 2016. The rest of the time, the Pats "lead" back has averaged 12 or fewer carries per game. Makes mathematical sense when you figure that the Pats typically average only 26 or so RB carries per game.

Gronk, too.

There's no reason if he continues to have a good camp that he can't beat out Jordan Richards.

A catch is a catch even if it's a velcro helmet catch...…..

Sorry for bringing that up....

Well said: that's why I'm not getting excited and cannot wait for the official Decker signing... color me not so impressed.

 

[Hammer of Thor]

There's no reason if he a tackling dummy continues to have a good camp starts to breathe that he can't beat out Jordan Richards.

Fixed that for you.
