They've gotta. Just look at the inside:

Does the video not play when you hit Play? You may have to click it a few times.

I don't even see a video. Just looks blank to me. Maybe just tell me the name of it and i will google it?

Cheffers did Pitts-KC.

That's scary, he made that crucial holding call on the MOST important play of the game (game tying 2 pt conversion). That's one of my concerns, we know how much Goodell doesn't want to hand Brady/Belichick that trophy, I worry about bogus, game changing calls going against us. I know I have my tin foil hat on, but I do worry about that, considering how corrupt I consider Goodell and the NFL.

Looks like a full pads practice to me.

Don't think his play will suffer much if he doesn't practice.
And then there's a whole next week.. I believe everyone will be ready.

I think if he can make the trip to Houston, that will be a big step. But as we found out with Green last week it could go down to the last day.

I'd be curious to see who the 3 are. Off the top of my head, oddly enough McDaniels is one of them. Anyone know the other two?

The tweet says 2010.

Chip Kelly in 2015 was one of them. None of this year's losses fit, nor the other 2015 losses. I think week 1 in Miami in 2014 was another one; the coach's name is slipping from me but he didn't last long.

Oh, Jim Harbaugh in 2012. That's the 3rd, the game the Pats were down 28 points at halftime and managed to tie before losing.

He also mentioned that they sometimes have 9 or 10 out of 11 guys on the field with speed and that they will only leave a couple of guys with size in.

Q: What is it about Atlanta's style that caught your attention?

BB: Well, they're very explosive offensively. Every guy that gets the ball can score a touchdown from 80 yards away or more. Defensively they have very good team speed. They've got usually at least nine if not 10 of the players on the field, sometimes all 11, I'd say are pretty fast. They've got a couple of big linemen that they use; they're good. But then there are times where they only have one or two of them in there and the other guys are - their ends are fast, the linebackers are fast, the secondary is fast. Sometimes they take out the big guys and put in a couple of more fast guys like Grady [Jarrett] or guys like that. I'm not saying they're like track guys, but for their position they're fast. They're athletic. They're very hard to block in space and pass protection and things like that.

I am wondering if he is seeing an opportunity for some power running. The guards are good run-blockers and we have a great fullback plus Marty who is a good blocker.

Atlanta's biggest LB is Beasley, who is 6'3" and 246. He plays OLB. Their inside/middle backers are smaller than that.

By comparison: Hightower is 6'3" and 265; Mclellin is 6'3" and 250; Van Noy is 6'3" and 243.

Develin, who is 6'3" and 255 is as big as Beasley.

Not to mention the fact that Blount is a 250 lb ball of violence in motion.

I am glad he made that call. It was clearly a hold and the correct call. He was not afraid to make it despite the importance of the play and the fact that it was against the home team. All you can ask for is the game to be officiated fairly.

Did he personally make the call?

 

[bormio]

I believe so - 0ffensive holding usually called by the referee.

Reading that again, I wonder if Bill is revealing a little too much here:

I'm not saying they're like track guys, but for their position they're fast. They're athletic. They're very hard to block in space and pass protection and things like that.

It looks more and more like it's the Patriots turn to "punch someone in the mouth".

This team is tough and very physical.

They finesse.
