Nugget: Pats worked out Jake Grove yesterday.

[JSn]

So, in a first fake-out of the year, Koppen participated after all. He just wasn't around when the media was watching. Rather unusual.

As for Grove, I would never underestimate the influence Dante may have on an under-performing lineman who has some talent.

Definitely need a center backup.

i'm a little miffed that ohrnberger or 'ohrnbust' has busted so badly. Puny little guy who was basically an udFA but we reached for him in the 4th...

I think it was Scott Pioli's doing. I read some stuff where he was really high on him. Thank god Pioli is gone.

 

[Off The Grid]

I absolutely LOVE Brother Jake Grove.

You can NEVER have too many High Grade Grizzlies.

It is somewhat interesting that as soon as Pioli is gone, we seem to have two fairly decent drafts in a row.

Not really, given how good this year's Chiefs draft was.

How can it be wrong to look at Grove as a street free agent? Do we think that Wendell and Ohrnberger are so great. They are our backups inside. Ojinnaka can back up at both guard and at OT.

If Grove is healthy, he is worth having on the squad. Look at who we signed in the last week. He could replace either of them or replace Ohrnberger or Wendell.

This.............

I've said it before, and I'll say it again:
OBurger & Wendell are the worst pair of backup C/Gs in football.
An upgrade x2 at those positions is essential before '11 TC; x3 if Mankins isn't re-signed.

I know they work out lots of players, and maybe it's just routine, but seems odd to be working out an OL.

Anyway, Caplan reported this and SMY retweeted it.

What are you doing following an idiot who claimed the Patriots would go 9-7?

She is such a fool, like that would have been tied 2nd worst New England record in the Belichick era. Some people never learn and she is just a hopeless case.
