PATRIOTS TRAINING CAMP 2026 Patriots Training Camp - Day 9

IF Pop's is in the mix they're carrying Six WR's. A Slot guy should feast with Brown and Doubs on the outsides.

OTOH, a WR with a handful of Baldinger Fingers isn't gonna be of much use...

Pain can be managed if you’re tough. Weaklings will use it as a crutch.

Pop in the toughest cover in the slot, Chism has really good instincts in zone coverage to get open.

I don’t think the Boutte truthers understand positional importance or scheme fit and why it matters.

But Pop Douglas hasn't been very good there; I hope he's a late bloomer *year four*. That said let's not put him in Canton just yet...maybe Canton Mass until further notice.

Woz: you don't think Boutte fits our scheme??

He out produced Boutte and every other WR on the roster in 2024. How quickly they forget…

I think he does what AJ Brown and Doubs do… only not as good. He doesn’t play the slot as well as Douglas and likely Chism.

Good player, but redundant and wants to get paid. “Like” has nothing to do with it.

With our other weapons on Offense; Pop should be able to produce like that Slot above^.

He’s never played in a productive competent offense, this is his year to finally get the system… assuming he’s still here.

Drake also has to find him and get it low and away, he seems to favor taller guys and throwing high and away. We saw some connection grow the latter half of last season. Time to put it all together.

he did last season, and he was extremely productive
he caught 68% of his targets
he averaged 10 yards per target
of his 31 rcpts, 20 were either first downs or touch downs
he had 2 drops
when thrown at, his rating was 120

Pop's issue is his usage rate
will be worse this season
