Patriots OTA's 5-23-2022

[Betterthanmost]

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

How much you want to bet?

Oops, meant to say, nice to see Trent Brown in the "good shape" category

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

Yeah I’ve never been high on judge…..we shall see

Forget the teddy bear...what is going on with those shoes?

White socks and sandals.... I'm guessing BB grew up in a senior living community someplace in Florida? Who knew...

 

[Pape]

he is in his last year he wants a new contract

Wasn't there last year either... Bunch of guys weren't.... Considering that there is a new line coach, I would have liked to seen him there getting reps... Disappointed he was a no show for otas again

 

[borisman]

How much you want to bet?

Unless there are injuries or any guys ahead of him (I can specify the guys ahead of him) get traded then Harry will not make the final roster. So if you accept those two stipulations I will take that bet as well.

 

[borisman]

Wait ….Wynn’s not out there!?!? That’s strange…..he doesn’t have an injury I’m sure….guy is made of steel….I’m sure it’s just an approved personal day off

When talking about our OL, never again, at least for the next 10 years, use the word strange as an adjective. That word is only to be used as a noun.

It's the Charlie Harper look.

Wait a minute! Seniors are people too. As a card carrying member of that fraternity, I OBJECT to these slanderous remarks.

That's gonna be a problem for Wynn then since he hasn't earned a new contract.

From what I'm reading, Patricia is calling the run plays, Joe Judge the passing plays, and BB the 2 minute drill plays. It will be interesting to see if this pattern for play calls will continue through actual training camp and the regular season.

Mac Jones looking good and in better shape. We're going to need him to step up his game for the Patriots to make the playoffs again. It's also notable that reports indicate he worked with Tom House [same guy who helps train Brady] in the offseason to work on his throwing.

Day 1 of OTAs starts.
Me: nice to have football back I guess, can't learn much from this though so whatever.

Day 3, no practice. Me:
