I see 3 NFL WRs on the roster plus Gunner. I think we need another.

Did we stop including Slater as a receiver finally.

Maybe Wilkerson. He caught his passes last night.

Yeah I’m a bit concerned about that.

He mentioned on the 1st day of practices with the Eagles that he was wearing it for protection of his lead leg.

My BS detector pegged to the right side of the dial when I read his explanation... "Yeah just you know, trying out a leg brace in practice, ya know, seeing what it feels like to play in a leg brace, no no it's fine..."

I didn't know whether to read it as Bill trolling everybody and everything, or more likely, Bill telling him to figure out how to sell the brace in some Trolli way... I never heard of going through full practices in a leg brace to see how it feels.

Hey did Brady's shoulder every get better? I've been worrying about that since '02.

 

[Mack Herron]

Maybe Wilkerson. He caught his passes last night.

I see him on the practice squad. I think there will be better options available.

 

[Ochmed Jones]

If cajuste plays well next week, I think he makes the team.

Bentley and Duggar are menaces in coverage.

please bb, no red shirt year for Stevenson.

Why did we sign Anderson?

barmore must play the run with better leverage.

Michael Jackson could make this team with a good game next week.

Typical Harry

Pats had 31 first downs Thursday. Granted It was a pre season game but team record is 35 first downs... Even against second stringers, it is impressive.

At the same time, it kind of isn’t

Slater hasn't counted as a receiver for years..

 

[mgteich]

Thought Joejuan Williams played well last night. Hoping he has turned the corner and can provide quality depth. I think he has a leg up on M. Jackson right now. I also like Mills better as an inside cb, and kind of a jack of all trades.

We have room for all three of Mills, Williams and Jackson.

 

[mgteich]

I know we've seen Akeem Spence getting extended looks with higher groups. Wondering if he's a dark horse 53 candidate at this point.

PICK 2
Adams
Anderson
Bower
Cowart
Davis
Murray
Spence
Thurman

 

[Soliel]

still going on about LAST year. 8-9 and ALL the passes were on target. WTF man,

About ten years or so, I might not be as exasperated about last year.

PICK 2
Adams
Anderson
Bower
Cowart
Davis
Murray
Spence
Thurman

Anderson and Davis although anderson did not impress me during the preseason and I haven’t heard much about him from camp. He can play multiple positions though which makes him valuable

 

[archstanton543]

But "off the hook" means "involved in something bad but is not blamed for it".

 

[archstanton543]

What's the structural damage to his egg shell psyche?

 

[Patsfanin Philly]

At the same time, it kind of isn’t

True but to be that dominant,
* 6 scores in 8 drives ( should have been 7 if not for missed FG)
* over 4 pts per possession which is outstanding
* Only one punt all night
* 5/9 on third down
* They left 6 points out there ( missed FG, missed XP)
* More than half of the damage was done by a rookie QB who they had running shotgun, under center, 5 wide, and other formations......and one who looking very comfortable identifying the defense and adapting to it...
It shows a team that can run a ball control ( critics call it dink and dunk) offense up and down the field.
It requires a healthy gain on first down often converting on second down so you aren't in third and long (thanks Captain Obvious).
It was fun to watch especially when balls weren't being thrown into the ground 5 yards in front of the receivers.....

On the flip side, it was against second stringers and the Eagles are going to be lucky to be a 5 win team this year, even in that division.....

PICK 2
Adams
Anderson
Bower
Cowart
Davis
Murray
Spence
Thurman

I've been thinking Davis and Anderson make it for most of training camp. But Anderson is looking shaky to me right now, so my guess would be either Adams or Spence. I have a hard time seeing Bower, Cowart, Muray, or Thurman doing enough to make it at this point, but honestly I'm mostly guessing once you get down to depth DL.

 

[oldrover]

Whats ridiculous is the notion that Mac is stepping in and the Pats are going to the post season.

Ron Borges 2001: "What's ridiculous is that Brady is stepping in and the Pats are going to the postseason."

You never know.

FYI: this quote is fake. But accurate.
