It's so obvious they are discussing the next "scheme" to cheat the NFL. First Spygate, then Deflategate, next up ........ ?

Probably a situational thing, but Butler-Brown-McCourty-Harmon-Chung is probably the best 5-DB combination the team has, from a talent standpoint. Worth noting that Harmon was getting work at CB in the last preseason game too.

I wonder if the McCourty to CB possibility is about getting the best possible defenders on the field. Although that would suppose that Harmon or Richards are one of the best five DBs. I suppose I can just about get there with Harmon. Personally I think Tarrell Brown starts opposite Butler, McCourty starts at FS and the SS and 5th DB become situational positions filled by whomever fits the game plan and opposing receivers.

If Tre's injury is serious...

Get Evan Mathis on the phone right now.

On the plane

Lets hope its not a knee

 

[mihap]

@PhilAPerry: Rookie guard Tre' Jackson was carted off the field with what looked like a lower-body injury. Lots of playing time for David Andrews at OG.

Wendell
Mason
Kline
Andrews

Please be ok, Tre.

how could u missed Devey.

IDK I didn't hear about them looking at the knee much. Sadly BB will never tell us anything so we will just need to wait and see tomorrow most likely. The price of being a Patriots fan.

The use of a cart makes me fear the worst. Players with cramps don't need carts.

 

[JMC00]

Doesn't Jackson have suspect knees? I'm getting sick to my stomach...

In his 4 years of starting at FSU he missed one game, in 2013 due to an ankle injury.

Alfred Blue (Texans RB) got carted off the field due to cramps just last week.

Lets hope dehydration

its Hot.......

It's supposed to be hot. It's training camp.

I think it's time for Mr. Kraft to open that checkbook now

 

[Horace's Ivories]

Hope Jackson is just a heat cramp. Considering they were working on 2 parts of him that gives me hope it was more likely cramps. It be a very odd thing to instantly hurt your hip and back at the same time just doing usual drills.

hip and lower back can be very much related. Many of the hip related muscles attach into the lower back/sacrum area

err i know, i was just saying its Hot.

 

[ashley]

Let's hope Jackson is ok....as other posters have mentioned, we should make signing Mathis a priority!!! Any starting line that has Devey, Cannon or Kline in it, especially in this division, is going to be a problem.

Duron Harmon spent most of Patriots practice at free safety today.

Doug Kyed

Duron Harmon has been quietly improving over the last couple of years, and I thought he was really solid out there when he got time last year.

 

[VrabelJr]

JMC00 with the back-to-back FUD dispelling. I love it!

 

[BradyFTW!]

The use of a cart makes me fear the worst. Players with cramps don't need carts.

In TC, it's not uncommon for player to get carted off due to virtually anything. Just today, Eric Fisher got carted off for the Chiefs with an apparently minor injury.

Just have to hope this is one of those cases for now. Would be a serious bummer if his season ended before it started.

 

[BradyFTW!]

In his 4 years of starting at FSU he missed one game, in 2013 due to an ankle injury.

I think what the guy you quotes was referring to was some possible knee condition that at least a few temas red-flagged in his pre-draft physical. Could be nothing, court cut his career short. In any case, it's probably why he fell to us in the 3rd in the first place.
