Game Day Thread PRESEASON GAME DAY THREAD (8/22): Patriots vs. Saints

[BradyFTW!]

Again, I really like Harper's balance. Changes direction well, doesn't go down on weak tackles. I think he's successfully played his way onto the roster.

Harper and Gibson in, Boyce and Dobson out. WR corps of Edelman, LaFell, Amendola, Gibson, Harper. Slater doesn't count as a WR.

Maybe we'll see Boyce in the 2nd half. Hoping for something interesting to watch.

Oh I bet it will be interesting..

The tide is turning! I think we can WIN this game!

And if not, just give Boyce some more snaps and he'll play himself off!

ouch gray area lol

If I had to identify two end-of-roster guys who seem to be making pretty decent cases for a spot tonight, I'd probably go with Harper and ****son so far.

I understand that wr is a very deep position for us when healthy, but Harper has really played well for us so far. With our top four receivers pretty much set with : Edelman, LaFell, Amendola and Gibson, I wonder if there is a way that Harper beats out Dobson and Boyce for the 5th wideout position.

Color Boyce gone?

 

[BradyFTW!]

Man, they left Garoppolo's blindside completely unblocked on that play. Gotta figure his internal clock was "if I've finished having this thought the ball had better be out"

 

[Froob]

Man we're going to wreck Jimmy with these lines. Last couple of times he's gotten to play we've killed him back there.

I think we keep Harper, trade Amendola for Mallet, then trade Mallet for Cassel and then trade Cassel back to the Bills for a 1st rounder.

The offensive line is getting absolutely dominated at the point of attack. It's horrendous... #Patriots


Sign Mathis!!!!

Not even Sandra Bullocks could motivate these guys.

BRUSCHI!!!

 

[DefenseRules]

19 PLAYERS not in uniform. Is the team that banged up?

 

[SVN]

Iam surprised brady even started today after getting all the reps on thursday . Their main work was done in combined work on wednesday and thurs.

Harper runs a clean route from what Ive seen, he should be considered. Much like Moore used to.

Right now, I think he does. I think the four you mentioned and Harper are the WR rotation in week 1. Mighty carry a sixth into the season using the roster spot freed up by Blount's suspension. If they do that, I think Dobson maybe sticks around long enough for Belichick to see if he's any good when he gets healthy.

 

[Tony2046]

Damn. This game is kind of a let down.

Think I was more pumped reading the Aug 19th transcripts.

Her buttocks could, though.
