LOL at Belichick trying not to say a single good word about Chandler Jones!

 

[BadMoFo]

Way to answer the question, Belichick.

IDK, Vereen looks better than Bolden thus far.

They just showed 2 passes from Manning on ESPN and they looked wobbly and weak. Maybe he was trying to float them, I dunno, but they didnt have the zip we're used to from him.

I disagree, I think he looked pretty good, that second one was actually a good throw but got an unlucky tip. It looked like he needed to settle his feet a little, but hey I'm sure he's got some nerves.

Vereen looks quick

He's very smooth in space, both running and catching.

Bolden had 3 runs so far, Vereens facing the swiss cheese.

I miss the old Refs...can't believe that I just said that.

Mallet is exactly what everyone said he would be during the draft.


Rocket Arm.... questionable decision maker and inconsistent.

That was his scouting report 100%, and it looks like he hasn't changed much.

Except that wasn't what everyone said during the draft.. Nice to know you don't know what you are talking about..

Excellent height to see over the top of his linemen and read defenses. Good field vision, showing the ability to check down from his first and second options to drop passes off to outlet receivers. Flashes the ability to look off the safety, but most do this more consistently. Generally reads the blitz coming and can make defenses pay for their aggression by hitting the hot route, but doesn't possess the athleticism to escape the pocket when he is surprised.

Intangibles: Some have concerns over his maturity level. Has a brash personality that has caused some to question whether he possesses the leadership to handle an NFL huddle.

THAT is the RB I thought we were drafting last year.

Vereen is looking really good.

 

[doesntmatter1]

Pherein, any young players on your side really strike you so far?

Joe Morgan is a good WR, surprised White is covering well at CB. Willians who was a LB, but sprags bulked him up 20 lbs is a big reason for our pass rush.
Roby has been developed for a while.

 

[BradyFTW!]

I wish I could tell whether Vereen is really this good or if the Saints' fourth-string D is really this bad. Probably a fair amount of both - he clearly has burst and elusiveness

 

[Rob0729]

Bolden had 3 runs so far, Vereens facing the swiss cheese.

They both faced back ups. It is too early, Vereen is decisive in his runs and Bolden lokked tentative.

Hoyer is worse than mallet throwing downfield

 

[DefenseRules]

Vereen has some speed.
