OTA Photo's


Nice Photo's on the Patriot website. Big Mac wearing #50?
Not out of the ordinary for rookies to be given a number that is completely out of left field.
 
pretty standard practice now to give the rookies numbers in the 50s in order of how they were drafted. They've clearly reserved Mac's Bama number 10 for him though. Only others available are 11 and 12, which would be a bold call...(and it'll be retired anyway)

No pictures of the Asiasi or Keane. One would think they would be putting in extra effort to make the team.

It is OTAs. This is not a competitive period of the Patriots offseason. Mostly evaluations don't really start before camp.

To quote Reiss from his Sunday piece (but you can find the same sentiment from most beat guys over the years):

The essence of the Patriots' offseason program is teaching-based, with the goal to give every player what they need so they can be in the best position to compete come training camp, so any pure evaluation is premature.

Heh. Remember when you pissed your pants over Brady not showing up to OTAs and went out of your way to say he wasn’t committed to the team? In a season that ended in a Lombardi, no less. Good times.

As an aside, God do I miss @TennisBallHead. EASILY the finest troll this message board has ever had. Nobody will ever come close to matching him.


So 41 is now the magical age where he needs to "change his regimen". Not 39, not 40. More brilliant analysis from ST scrub Chatham. There is no fart from the Patriots he hasn't sniffed and tried to convince you how good it smells.

Take a big old whiff, Matt.
 
Actually, it’s good to see that ol’ boy has come around.

First sentence you quoted says it will not affect Brady's performance which already invalidates everything you wrote about pissing my pants entirely. But I suppose it is too much work reading the first sentence of a paragraph.

Also you are comparing a player staying away entirely from OTAs, to a situation where someone got conveniently upset that specific players didnt appear on pictures.

Which is not even remotely close to the same situation.

But keep digging through year old posts. Always nice to see how I live in your head rent free.
