Of course he does... Lazar works for the NEP's/Bill Belichick's Ministry of Propaganda now, where never is heard a discouraging word...

 

[PatsFan2]

Baker Mayfield, as expected, is expected to be named the Week One starter in Carolina

The quarterback competition that never really felt like a competition won't be a competition for much longer.

I am sure Sam Darnold is not worried a bit Mayfield will make the Coaching staff rethink their decision.

I think if Strong shows that he can Catch and Block he'll get some playing time our Offensive thrives with a Third Down RB.

 

[Guts]

At least the offense looked good yesterday compared to last week. Baby steps and practice doesn't mean much when the real games come up, but you like to see the improvement.

In my opinion, he has been critical when need be. He just started for Pats.com, so lets see if that changes, but overall I think he is a fair reporter. Especially if you listen to his podcast.

Yeah, I hope that is the case. With Montgomery playing so well now, he's clearly behind him in that role and obviously with Damien and Rham, no room there as well. I like the "speed" element that he brings though.

#4 on this list. LOL

Interesting criticism, given that your highlight immediately follows him saying that the Pats first round draft pick is struggling.

I would say team reporters by and large are biased when it comes to the team they're covering. Here in the Bay Area they're making Lance sound Mahomes 2.0. Lazar has been pretty consistent though with fair takes.

I'm usually not one to miss an opportunity to laugh at Zolak, but well spoken, sir! And well done for keeping the profanity implicit ("A-holes")!

I wonder where Stidham vs Hoyer would have ended up on this list. Lol

Oh for sure, and Lazar typically leaned more positive than negative even before he worked for the Pats. But dismissing someone's opinion on a player because they're a "team shill", loses something for me if that "team shill" had a negative report on a very prominent Patriots draft pick in essentially the same sentence.

Position-By-Position Recap of Patriots-Panthers Joint Practices

Here is a rundown of everything we saw at joint practices this week.

Contrariwise from Phil Perry:

Perry: Cole Strange more than holds his own vs. Panthers

 

[rochrist]

Is there no practice today?

 

[Hammer of Thor]

Is there no practice today?

No practice since it’s day before the game. In addition, public access to training camp is now done; everything next week is limited access to reporters (and only certain periods).

Very interesting. I think if you asked 4 different beat reporters this question, they would have different answers. Alex Barth who is pretty good with his analysis, also mentioned during his podcast yesterday that Strange was doing OK and performing better.

That's one of the reasons I like the pre season games, I get to see them first hand.

I guarantee you there'll be a fight during hte game Friday started by the Panthers...

Bedard had Strange as the #1 disappointment the first day of joint practice, and just plain blocking as #3 the third day.

FWIW he hasn't said bust, and at times mentions good things lightly, but doesn't seem impressed.
