Patriots OTA's 5-23-2022

[jlu52]

So nice to actual football to talk about again, even if it’s just mini camp

Gets the blood flowing to all the right places AMIRITE!?

You ain't lying, brother! I am very much looking forward to this season.

Last year Smith missed OTA's because of the birth of his daughter. And then he dealt with injuries. According to Belichick, TE is the most complex position on the roster aside from QB, so there is certainly reasonable hope for improvement.

This made me more optimistic about the prospects for him to have a bounce back season this year. He acknowledges the situation, seems to be doing the right things to correct it.

Mac definately got leaner. You can still see a bit of his moobies. That just may be genetic.

Yea some people have glands or something that give them moobies

I had a friend who dropped a pretty penny on surgery to correct his, he was tall and skinny but had jiggly moobies

Huh? Wynn is absent for a voluntary practice and he is now potentially out “indefinitely”? Did I miss some other news about him? If I recall correctly, there was a lot of hand-wringing and a lot of “here we go again” posts around here after Wynn missed OTA practices either last year or the year before and it turned out to be much ado about nothing.

I didn’t say he was out indefinitely, I said if he was out indefinitely this season… in other words hypothetically this season if he gets hurt… which as far as Wynn is concerned is not far fetched.

The team will also have a better idea how to utilize him which is why they let Jakob Johnson walk. Assuming Mac progresses the 2021 free agents should all look better.

Oh no

No sign of Harry at least he's consistent. Harry doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell of making that rotation.

 

[PatsFan2]

I already told DeVante when its all said and done he'll have Harry's #1 its' free in the pro shop.

Look at the air vents of the helmet. That's markedly different than the helmet that Mac or other players are wearing. It's like two raised ridges about 2 inches wide with a 3 inch gap between them running down the center of the helmet.

James White is wearing a new helmet... It looks like the Vicis Zero2

Thought White was injured still?

That's been the report, but this is a pretty mild practice setting. It'll be interesting to see how much he participates in mandatory mini camp June 7. That'll give us a better idea of how his rehab is going.

I know it's early but if White continues to progress with the RB's we already have plus the additions at WR. Year two Henry and a improved Jonnu Smith @ TE I think we're going to be alright on Offense.

Agreed. White is huge because we really don't have anyone on the roster who's shown they can do what he does. I'm hopeful for Strong, but rookies are rookies. Taylor has a lot still to prove, and Montgomery is the most veteran backup option but he's new to the team as well (and is no James White). I'm really pulling for White to be healthy.

Joe Judge QB experience.

Show us Belichick’s football experience while you’re at it.

 

[Guts]

Ugh..only thing I don't like about this start of the new season is Joe Judge being a key figure of coaching Mac. I still think he's a clown

From what Ive read, he's on the field, but that they are taking it slow with him... but he was definitely out there yesterday... there is a clip of him catching a pass from Mac bouncing around in the first page or two of this thread...

think the media is shut out til the 31st... so unless the Pats post pics, i can't tell you about today...

On a very different note:

Giselle also said that she always writes a little note on a napkin for each kid and tucks it in with the food. I thought that was a lovely idea. My note said, “When facing zone coverage, it’s vital to check off on the free safety when going over the middle.”
