FWIW written by an ex-miami reporter.

decent article if you're less informed about the pats

 

[Kontradiction]

You can tell he's a former Miami writer. The guy took multiple shots at the Pats and their players in that article.

Typical outsider opinion. He already thinks CJack is a bust after two years and a torn ACL. Thinks Jordan is merely injury insurance.

Only one comment that I haven't heard elsewhere and it's worth noting:

The [Tank] Williams experiment doesn't look like it will end well. He seems too small to remain at linebacker and too big to be a safety. He has gotten pancaked multiple times.

I haven't heard our official camp followers talking about him getting pancaked. I have heard how he's hard to block on blitzes and covers well. We know how Belichick likes the big nickel and I don't think of it as an experiment at all, but as one piece of a complex package.

So what's this pancake stuff? Anyone seen the OL eating Williams for breakfast?

Ex-Miami reporter indeed. The guy works for ESPN, that's all that I need to know for me not to click on the link or believe a word that he wrote. I haven't heard that from any of our local reporters or even Mrs. B.
