Patriots Training Camp Tuesday August 9th

[ivanvamp]

What's wrong with having four really good receivers? Injuries happen, and it's nice to have awesome depth at that position.

Have to imagine someone gets traded at WR if everyone is still healthy in a month.

Doug didn't even take into account Tre Nixon, who has had a really good camp as well. This is a very deep position for us now. I guess we could have worse problems. lol

 

[reflexblue]

They should call Dalton Keene Street clothes he likes being in them what a waste of a Third Rounder.

Just SC for short

Unless you get great value and/or massive cap relief : don’t do it. Ride it out and maybe even keep an extra WR if you believe in him. I just think we need production at that position. Let’s not go thinking ‘we have the late 80s SF squad here’.

Quantity and quality are two completely different things. You can still have a logjam without top end talent. I'm not saying force a trade, I'm saying I expect them to look into it in that scenario.

Ugh if we get three quarters of Hoyer Th. Could live with a 2 X 2 quarter split, but prefer to see Zappe get the majority of the snaps.

More good news on Thornton:

This young man is exciting. Speed, talent, and intelligence. Always working to improve himself.

 

[TheRainMaker]

I'm excited to see Thornton Thursday night.

Definitely way more exciting from our standpoint to see Zappe, but for coaching up and evaluating the other 10 guys on the field, probably better to have Hoyer out there who can at least run the offense if not make the throws.

 

[PatsFan2]

Somebody's gotta say it Zappe seems to be moving the Second Group very easily QB controversy! j/k

More good news on Thornton:

Check down Mac won't be checking down to Thornton at least we hope not.

 

[Family]

Is there a chance Zapp gets the start?

 

[TheRainMaker]

Check down Mac won't be checking down to Thornton at least we hope not.

He could turn on the jets and make it a big gain. Won't shock me to see some short passes to get him going to set up a deep shot.

I think CB's will be backing off Thornton by choice he's that dangerous!

 

[TheRainMaker]

Top things I will be looking for Thursday Night are Mac, O-line, Parker (if he plays), Thornton, rookie CB's and how the LB's are flowing to the ball.

0.0

I'm excited to see Thornton Thursday night.

I’ll be more excited if we don’t see much if any of him Thursday night.

 

[PatsFan2]

Alright fun and jokes aside with the somewhat improvements on Offense...should we put an asterisk "*" on Todays practice with Barmore being out??

 

[n1997y]

Top things I will be looking for Thursday Night are Mac, O-line, Parker (if he plays), Thornton, rookie CB's and how the LB's are flowing to the ball.

I hope we see very little, ideally none, of Mac, Parker, Thornton, and top CBs.

I’m more interested in the middle of the roster, looking for the guys competing for a slot or on the bubble. Only exception is OL, they need all the work they can get until they gel and start playing at the level we need them to.
