PostGame Thread OFFICIAL Postgame Thread: Preseason Game 2 - Patriots Beat Vikings 20-12

It's probably just me, but, I'd keep Wooldridge as the #2 QB over Dobbs. Dobbs either over throws or under throws receiver's, when he's not throwing passes that gets receiver's injured. I suppose that might be one of the reason's why he's on his 9th Team.

I really don’t think they’ll keep anyone based on what I’ve seen. 2 of them will be on the practice squad and be game day elevations as needed. No one has separated themselves enough to be indispensable for inclusion on the 53.

If they're using TE3 at FB, they will absolutely be on the 53.

EC3PO

EC3PR (punt returner)

A hot woman or a hot breakfast treat. Take your pick.

I figured it was a type of cake or biscuit

 

[PatsFan2]

Hell yeah, Part Deux

Oh C'mon fringe Practice Squad numbers right there.

 

[Hammer of Thor]

If they're using TE3 at FB, they will absolutely be on the 53.

I still don’t think that will make a difference — just another reason for a game day elevation. We’ll see though, you definitely may be right and me wrong here.

Again Steve you were right about Barefoot Mack Hollins.

Vrabel has said several times that it doesn't matter how you get here: what matters is what you do when you get here, Given that, if Chisum is not on the roster, Vrabel is full of ****. Simple as that.

The Team that gets him if that happens: will thank Vrabel and call him a fool for ages.

 

[p8ryts]

Why are Maye and the starters even playing when no other team is doing this?

They need the work

 

[Zuma]

He didn't play at all in the 2nd half so it's pretty obvious he's made the cut.

It looked like he got a minor lower leg injury. Right after that Springer was going to send him out to return a kick or punt but Vrabel literally said "No" because of the minor injury. But he's a lock IMO.

It's also slang for a hot woman as in..."That's a nice piece of crumpet"

Can somebody tell Maye day Pop Douglas is 5'5 and not 6'5. Terrible touch right there to a wide open guy: Passing it on for a friend.

I wouldn't keep Jennings over Truman Jones or Swinson and Ponder. Jones has been better (and is younger), and Swinson and Ponder have legit upside.

These are the kinds of roster decisions that drive coaches and GM's crazy. No question that Jennings is the better player today, but will he be come December. I was thinking about this myself and Jones, Ponder, and Swinson have all shown flashes of talent this camp. If I needed an edge guy for a running down, Jennings would be the guy, no question. He's a guy you know EXACTLY what you will get from if you put him on the field. And sometimes for a coach that kind of reliability and consistency is valued highly.

There are going to be several VERY tough decisions to make on cut down day and some VERY good football players available across the league. Nice to be #4 on the waiver wire.

Looks like Chism had another good game.

 

[DaBruinz]

Yeah, but Jennings played all last year and was a bad edge rusher. He's beating backups at best. He's not a good pass rusher and won't be this year if he makes the team.

White was underwhelming last year as an edge rusher, seems better inside where they don't have room for him. Maybe he improves.

We will see about the others. Big question mark to me but with Williams and Barmore inside they have some talent there to get to the passer.

He was such a bad edge-rusher that he had 3 sacks, 6 hits, and 22 hurries on 348 pass rush attempts. He also had 41 stops. Mind you. That's with no Barmore. No Bentley. No Gonzalez. Godchaux playing too much. And a lack of coaching,. He's improved every year since he was drafted.

He's an above average Edge guy who is very good against the run. He's never going to be Judon or LT, but he's not the scrub you want to make him out to be..

 

[TommyD4207]

Looks like Chism had another good game.

His TD catch was a real pro catch and run. Also broke tackles to get a 1st down on 3rd and long, after getting hit well short.

 

[DaBruinz]

He might be the biggest camp disappointment for me. He was a binky. He was big, had some speed, and a good blocker and we need a good blocking TE. I thought he had a chance to make the roster as the possible 3rd TE/FB. The reality is he has not been close to even getting 4th quarter preseason snaps. Maybe he is so raw that they keep him on the PS because no else is going to want him.

You're referring to Dippre?

 

[PatsFan2]

Did CJ Dippre play tonight? I don't think I heard his name mentioned and haven't seen much excitement about him in camp. Who's favourite for TE3?

WHO?? Huh??
