PATRIOTS TRAINING CAMP 2026 Patriots Training Camp Day 4

[Zuma]

Can he play coverage LB?

Wait for hitting and real competition. This isn’t real football.

This is a given. You asked where I saw the report and I answered.

Why read anything now then?

How an on the bubble lineman is doing in individual drills is worth noting, but we know Bryant may win them tomorrow and joint practices/games are more important.

It's a pattern that's important, not one day.

Boutte is going to have a blockbuster season.

I always thought we should keep Boutte. Y'all saw some of those plays he made to get us to the big game. It takes two to tango and he helped get it done with our superstar QB.

Agreed. For the life of me (and I'm probably alone in this), Douglas has shown almost nothing and Williams is still an unknown. Boutte last season, who despite BB doing nothing with him his Rookie Season, and then the Mayo Circus after that, really became a trusted target of Maye and showed he's an up and coming NFL Caliber WR. He's only 24 going into his 4th Season and I don't understand why we're not trying to tear up his last year of his Rookie Deal and extend him for 2 to 3 more years (especially with almost 40M in Cap Money which wouldn't put much of a dent in it) . Having 3 WR's (Brown, Doubs, and Boutte is not a bad thing, and that's if there's no injuries). Doubs is still young and his best Football can be ahead of him, the same with Boutte. He gets to where he needs to be and just catches the dang ball.

He's not just a deep ball WR, he has the size to play the Slot as well, and run routes to anywhere from the Slot (he's versatile). If we get 2 to 3 solid years from A.J., then Doubs and Boutte will still be on the young side and better.Boutte is a guy that, had he not had some bumps along the way in College, was a 1st Round Rated WR. We should be keeping him, NOT trading him. But, maybe that's just me.

The Boutte trade talk was nonsense whether he was making noise in camp or not. An injury can occur at any moment and the media hasn't seen anything good about Doubs yet. He could end up being another Agholor.

I always love hearing this.

He’s not the only Alum I like reading this, but like you…he is my favorite alum to hear that he is back giving advice. HOF OL coach.

Moss is the guy I would lik to see show up. Receivers would be in awe, and they would hang on every word.

yeah, but just back for a visit - not for anything in depth. I am not sure a guy with his natural ability could really bring it off as a coach type. A guy like Edeldude who had to learn the smallest details to get an advantage and always gave 110% effort is someone that I think is more of a longer term educational resource.
