Love the attitude.

Love the attitude.

Seems like we have Five Really good WR's it's been a while Pop Douglas - Polk - Baker - Thornton and Boutte.

I am optimistic but I acknowledge it is mostly projection and potential. Beauty of training camp.

I have good feeling Mack aside from the smaller Pop Douglas the rest are built the same.

Here's a larger version of that writer's depth chart, a bit easier to read:

Only one established pro there with Pop.

Meanwhile you left out the guys with the most actual NFL game experience in Bourne and Osborn and Reagor.

We are in good shape for young talented and hungry WRs.

Pat's just signed a big fat run stuffer type in DT Mike Purcell.

I wish they had signed Carlos Davis of the UFL instead, he's potentially more than just a run stuffer.

They have some background with Purcell that’s pry the thought and I doubt he makes the 53 if Barmore comes back or not,

But I I also like Carlos Davis but u see that the Patriots went with someone they have a bit of background on.

I thought it was Mike Pennel at 1st. I think he was the one that didn’t want to play for the Pats. Weasel.

No we cut him and he was picked up and we instantly missed him.
We had issues stopping the run and he played great for I believe it was KC

Purcell may not have much in the tank. He’s 33, ten years in the league. Much of it PS. But he has played. Hopefully he’s just a camp body. We’ll see.

Last season, he played in 16 games with 10 starts and finished with 25 total tackles for the Broncos. Overall, he has played in 90 games with 45 starts and has accumulated 208 total tackles, 3½ sacks, 4 passes defensed, 1 forced fumble and 3 fumble recoveries.

I don't know... 2017 was ages ago. Not sure there's any personnel guy here now who was with the team then. Purcell has been signed and cut a million times, I doubt he makes it either.

Thornton beat Gonzales 1 v 1 on both attempts today. Pads were on. That is impressive.

They were NOT wearing pads actually. That fact went under the radar. Pads will be back on today. That also might explain why Judon was back. If he’s not practicing today, we’ll know he’s skipping padded practices.

He sounds like an entirely different player, which is great. Of course we have all had binkies who impressed right up to the day they were released. Great to have this competition which is the road to success.
