PATRIOTS TRAINING CAMP 2026 Patriots Training Camp Day 13

I was hopeful about the Vildor signing. He's making a strong case to be the #4 CB and 1st off the bench, supplanting Charles Woods who got it by default when Austin sucked last year..

The #4/#5/#6 CB battle is going to be a good one.

This signing by Vrabes last year keeps looking better and better.

What I like about Williams is he’s good at catching the deep ball, similar to Boutte. It’s nice to have home grown talent that don't drop deep passes.

I'm not sure DeGennaro plays the slot WR (Y) and I think that Y position comes down to Douglas and Chism. Hollins can play flanker (Z) and slot along with Doubs but Brown, Boutte, Williams and DeGennaro are in the X spot.

So when comparing receivers, I think the primary role they play (X, Y or Z), what kind of position flexibility they have and special teams contributions are factors that need to be considered

Everyone plays inside. The Wes Welker type of slot is not a starting position or a necessity at all. Every team uses 3 WRs and they use their best 3. They don’t require a spot for shifty guy wining short routes. It’s nice to have one for 3 downs but any receiver can run there routes from inside.

Any word on Crownowner so far?

CB depth was a huge question mark for me, I’m excited about the good reports on both Vildor and Prunty.

But it’s hard to believe the name Kindle Vildor isn’t AI-generated.

Weirdly I always read it as King Vidor (film director).

Actually, this guy's AJB take that " if they are going to throw the ball, it's going to AJBrown" take, doesn't sound at ALL like a Josh McDaniels offense, just the opposite.

Agreed. I've taken to ignoring guys like Carr because they have no clue how other teams actually work,.

With Wallace gone - who is the most likely guy to be that 9th OL - Guard backup?
Seems Butler is the guy. And I still think Ben Brown is a lock with his OC/OG versatility and experience here.

It could be Butler or some other developmental player who will be dressed just a few times during the season.

It was obvious Wallace was a flop, but with a third round pick you have to give it time.
