Pats.com video of OTAs/passing camp

I defy any Pats fan to watch that video and not end up grinning.

i didnt see half our roster. where are they?

I thought it was a passing/recievers "camp". Why should the rest be there?

Re: Pats.com video of mini-camp

We have so many players with dread locks running around out there it's getting hard to keep track. Stallworth, Maroney, Larry Anam, Mays, Meriweather, and Moss has little ones. Then there's Samuel but he seems to be AWOL.

By the way, that video shows contact during drills. PFT is right, the "no contact" mini camps are the worst kept secret in the NFL.

I think that "no contact" really means no tackling.

so why were lineman there? It was OTAs/Passing Camp

no contact is correct but rules say they are allowed to wear helmets

It was good to see the rest of the players WILLING to participate to help the offense get better. That is how a TEAM works . Everyone one working towards the same goal. I really like seeing the Pats new QB coach (Vinny Testaverde) out there with the helmet on. Yes, I would rather have Vinny as the QB Coach than on the roster. I am hoping for Guitierrez to stick.

Laurence Maroney (Dreads):

Corey Mays (Probably the longest Dreads of the bunch.):

Chad Jackson (He's kind of got that cornrow's with baby dreads look goin' Him and Moss look a lot alike in these photos):

Larry Anam (Challenging Mays for the longest Dreads of the group):

It doesn't look like the palyers are trying to get that little extra edge.

Fsankly, I'm surprised. Many have gambleed on getting caught, done steroids for the edge, but here fashion is winning out.

I thought that NFL sponsored research had showed that big 'dos led to ill fitting helmets, and a significant increase in concussions.

I thought the NFLPA was planning on making presentations to all teams about the danger. You can name lots of good players who had to leave the game due to concussion damage, before they wanted to retire. I know that TJ and Aikman to name a few, have complained of the effects of brain damage after their careers...

Now I don't care how the players wear their hair, but if it hurts them and the team, I'm surprised that BB didn't say something...

Seriously. I think the technology in the helmets has a lot more to do with preventing damage than the players' hairstyles.

Wish there had been more footage of the receivers actually. But it was good to see them out there working at least.
Now was it just my imagination or did Brady do some kind of dance step thing with his arms in that footage?
Or maybe it's a new type of play fake.
