I hear rumblings that T Thornton is more than a one trick pony maybe that's a rumor.

After the first couple days of OTA’s he was wildly productive and fans were fitting him for his HOF jacket.

Then he supposedly had a pulled hammy and it was doom & gloom.

Now two days into camp with no pads and exclusively working in the red zone he is a deal man walking again.

How about we stop making knee jerk prognostications and watch to see if he develops?

Eliot.

Winston.

Wolf.

Groh is the guy.. he was talking cap, players, contracts. He's been with the organization for a while.. I'd like to think it's going to be Groh down the line.

Thornton is 6'2, the red zone is exactly where he should be used. It's still early though. Hard to take anything away from TC at this point

He made some plays in the EZ in some tights sets.

Yes I agree but IMO their are better options in the redzone…Henry, Gesicki, JuJu, Parker, Stevenson, Ty.

 

[A Defiant Goose]

Let’s talk about starting jobs after the first 2 preseason games.
It’s a process.
That being said I’m sticking with my prediction of finishing last in the AFC East.
Hard to blame anyone but the front office for not landing top tier offensive talent the last few years.

My new predictions

Jets
Dolphins
Bills
Pats

In that order.

This is my prediction for AFCE draft order

 

[RobertWeathers]

We have to also keep in mind.. our defense is dam good.. elite I'd say even.. even though was a bad throw by Mac he isn't going up against a weak defense.

I don't think we know if the D is elite yet.

We are really depending on him making the Second year jump if he doesn't it going to be very disappointing: when you think of who we could have had instead. Yeah I know its still very early hope springs eternal.

Eliot.

Winston.

Wolf.

I’m equally HIGH on the Wolfe but my only point was he is more forthright in discussing the innards of personnel workings then BB.

I get what your saying.. But they've shown they were elite last season.. they were put in terrible situations all last season by the inept offense, and held teams to FGs.. they led the league in pick 6s returned for TDs.. only elite teams do those types of things. So it's no suprise our D is making it tough for Mac.

Basically the same height as Juju but far lighter. Not much reason to put him in over Juju IMO in that situation. They paid Juju because of his ability to get open in short yardage and he's also a decently sized dude.

Yep we'll know very early in the season.

And Thornton’s game is speed…not short yardage redzone.

Going to have to play 6,7 DBs against eagles..

It’s been exclusively red zone work, and he doesn’t possess a lot of short area quickness.

If he develops at all I think he can catch some TD’s, but they may come majorly from 20-30 yards out rather than down on the goal.

He caught a lot of TD’s at Baylor and as a team they didn’t throw a lot. It’s day two with no pads… not time to panic.

Pass Rushers who can get to the QB don't grow on trees Josh Uche will make himself a lot of $$$$$ either way. Great One/Two punch with Judon.
