WR/TE yikes don't ask Henry to Block our TE's looking too much like our WR's literally and figuratively.

Perkins is still on the team? Ha, there's always hope!

Wouldn't it be something if he figures it out: Perkins is a guy we were not depending on. IF he has a lights-out TC we have a serious Défense in the making with excellent depth.

So it will be a battle between him and Jennings I guess.

Isn't Jennings on IR or something like that??

 

[50-yard-line]

trigger finger?

Too soon, man. Too soon.

 

[DaBruinz]

How can they have some inconsistencies to work out when Onwenu, Strange, and Brown aren't on the field??? That's a LAZY take.

 

[DaBruinz]

LB with a pass breakup on a WR really didn't know Cornelius Bennett was on the Pats.

Red Zone work. That's not surprising.

 

[turkeyneck]

Seems like early report that Rham was limited was inaccurate; he seems to have taken his reps.

 

[Real fan 02]

I really don't think they're going to pay Uche. But I hope they pony up for Judon.

I'm more interested to see how we fare against other teams in the joint practices.. going up against your own teammates.. when they know what's coming can seem easy.. the joint practices is a good barometer.

Judon isn't a Free Agent. He's signed through 2024.

The Pats ARE going to drop some big money on their upcoming FAs. People need to adjust their expectations some because when the LEAGUE is paying top 5 players at a position 15-20M, the Pats can't just let them all walk. They'll end up signing players that offset and not get a draft pick for players that left. And the DOWNGRADES from someone like Onwenu to MAFI or Uche to Perkins are Large.

Personally, I expect Dugger and Onwenu to be the top priorities. Then Hunter Henry. An Extension for Judon would lower his cap hit or they could keep it the same to have lower hits down the line.

 

[DaBruinz]

Going to be interesting to see how Marte and Douglas continue to develop and watching certain Patsfans flipflop from their Draft day reactions.

 

[Hyped]

I would rather not see Kyle Dugger returning kicks. No sir.

Especially when we have #4 corner Marcus Jones and #3WR Demario Douglas perfectly capable of doing so....

 

[DaBruinz]

Wouldn't it be something if he figures it out: Perkins is a guy we were not depending on. IF he has a lights-out TC we have a serious Défense in the making with excellent depth.

As a rookie, Perkins was transitioning from being a 3-point DE to a 2-point LB. He's had a great mentor in Judon. However, the injury during camp last season clearly curtailed him. I know a lot of people wrote him off, but this is only his 3rd year. This is the year he needs to start getting reps and making waves. Doing that now, is a good thing.
Being able to roll out Judon, Uche, Perkins and Jennings with White and Wise for Jumbo/inside DTs should really keep them fresh. Seeing Perkins get "2 sacks" today is nice, but it will be better if he does it in Pads.

And #5/#6 CB Isaiah Bolden..
