8/14 - Wednesday Pats/Titans Joint Session Thread

[patchick]

That's right, Brady isn't the only longtime Vrabel teammate on this roster!

 

[Boston Boxer]

I love the fact that our two joint practice teams this year are ones that embarrassed us last season. I don't know if it was intentional, but I like it. Gets some of these guys a little extra motivated to face them in practice.

i think it has more to do with teams that have Pats ex coaches running them...and we alway play the Giants

 

[slam]

Any truth to the rumor Brady asked Vrabel whether he was interested in coming back as a tight end?

No, he asked him to play LT.

#50 the first to greet him.

Am I looking into it to deep but does BB signaling he has high hopes for Win by giving him #50 or is just a coincidence?

 

[TheRainMaker]

Alot of conflicting reports on Pennel.

This is getting ridiculous.

I think you're looking into it too deeply. There's only so many numbers for linebackers and 51-55 is already taken by players who were on the team last year. Someone was going to get 50, just happened to be him.

 

[BlueThunder]

My question is How Often is Pennel Good ???

 

[TheRainMaker]

Tyrone McKenzie jumped out as a very impressive young man when they drafted him years ago. I forget the details but he overcame a lot and was very impressive. I remember thinking this kid is the material of a self made millionaire someday. He was no bust - he got hurt and had to end his playing.

Funny how Chad Jackson doesn’t get the same excuse.

Harris?

Thanks for peeing in my cheerios sir. I have high hopes for Chase and was looking for some sort of confirmation...

I maybe having a memory issue, but I don't recall Chad having a major injury at least not early on. That kid just didn't have his head screwed on straight.

Edit: Forgot about the ACL. But not an uncommon injury to come back from...Get your point but never had a warm fuzzy about him "getting it". Lots of physical talent.

Whenever you're not watching him practice. You're just missing it, don't look away at the cheerleaders or the vendors. Focus.

Chad Jackson had ample opportunity to create a spot on the roster for himself, post injury.

 

[Mack Herron]

Harris?

Thumb injury for Dorsett. Harris removed shoes and took a knee but no word yet.

It was still during a time were ACL’s ended careers.

He said he could barely cut when he came back from his injury. See my response above. McKenzie also had a chance to play for the Bucs and Vikings and was cut by both eventually.

I have high hopes for him too! But mine are more centered around him looking like a maniac and out motoring everyone.

You are telling me that players were having their career ended due to ACL tears in 2007? Give me a break, it was not the dark ages. Jamal Lewis came back from one in college and a 2nd one in the pros in the early 2000s.

And what about his chances the the Broncos and Bills?

If anything, he did not take his rehab seriously.

 

[Palm Beach Pats Fan]

Belichick has already called out in his press conferences how they did not have a winning record on the road last year.

It's amazing how coach can drive the narrative that we need to improve on last season, when last season resulted in a championship. Yet he believes it, the players believe it, and they buy in. It's why we avoid the fat-n-happy champions syndrome.
