Patriots Daily News Thread Patriots practice Monday 9/4/23

[captain stone]

Park Avenue caught wind that the Patriots were going to do something with Coral & Zappy, thus the change.

 

[captain stone]

Brown is a good addition. Let’s see if he sticks around on the roster a while.

Interesting that Pharma was signed to the PS and not Carl Davis.

 

[captain stone]

Any idea who projects to be the starting RT for week 1?

Why not Vederian Lowe?

Park Avenue caught wind that the Patriots were going to do something with Coral & Zappy, thus the change.

Absolutely. They never contemplated that the number 2 QB would be on the PS and the number 3 QB on the roster.

Zappe and a RB will be the two elevations for this game and (assuming no injuries) likely the next one too.

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

Interesting that Pharma was signed to the PS and not Carl Davis.

Davis was let go a few days ahead. That usually means their stay with the Pats is over.

Davis was let go a few days ahead. That usually means their stay with the Pats is over.

The fact he admitted he didn’t take it seriously or work as hard and he should have been.
I bet Bill hates that more than a player struggling to learn his concepts.
A player not putting the work in has no place on the Patriots or in the NFL for that matter.

 

[SlowGettingUp]

the coaching staff was able to help him maintain his fitness level.

I read a piece where he said they kept him mentally involved. If he thought he might never play again, I can't imagine he was in the weight room or running sprints. Could have been something like a blood clot - linemen are susceptible to those. But it sounded like it wasn't straightforward to diagnose:

“Those are all medical things,” Belichick said. “He was treated. It seemed like everything went pretty — from what I understand — not that I know very much about this — but from what I understand sounded like everything went on a pretty straightforward path. Once his condition was identified and he started doing the things they needed to do, it just took a little while. But seemed like it’s gone on a pretty good, pretty consistent pace on the recovery. About what was expected.”

Bill Belichick was excited to see Patriots get surplus of depth at important position

Bill Belichick was excited to get three key additions to the Patriots’ practice field in a two-day span.

My cholesterol test coming back > 240 was less surprising than this.

You surprised? I thought this move was a foregone conclusion and always in the plan

 

[Family]

cholesterol lowering meds

No change your diet.

Those things are horrific for you.

Fish oil supplements, too

No, just flubbed the line by typing to quick; I meant to reverse the items that I was comparing. Great, now I can add late onset dyslexia to the list...

3 bold predictions for the Patriots’ 2023 season

To be honest I don't think these predictions are that much out of wack.

Mac can make the ProBowl if otherr drop out.

Anyone who has seen White knows what he is capable of.

Pops Douglas gets open. Concern with him is he is small in stature.

 

[Clonamery]

That's great and super and all but end of day, the winning percentage is what matters.

 

[mike_usagisan]

Agreed. He's not anywhere near there yet, but I think the Pats are trying to build around his strengths with BOB. He's never going to be a Mahomes or Josh Allen, but if he can run a mostly mistake-free offense with death by a thousand papercuts, I think he can be successful. But this season is really going to tell us a lot more about Mac Jones.

Are you saying there is a rule that a team must have QB2? That is not how I read it. My QB2 will be elevated to 53 roster on game week. They went out of their way to specify 3rd QB can not be elevated PS player. But did they say that about the QB2? I think this is where BB's interpretation of the rules comes in handy lol.

Loss of 3 #1s!!

 

[rochrist]

Any idea who projects to be the starting RT for week 1?

Looks like Anderson.

 

[Kasmir]

Well, Mac did set the all-time NCAA record for completion percentage. Accuracy is not a problem for him.
