He's a non-football playin' headass.

Mike Vrabel offered a behind-the-scenes look at a meeting where teams were drafted for the Patriots scrimmage.

Headass? Never heard that before.
Is that like a backwards asshead?
Whatever the case, they both probably fit Bedard

 

[fnordcircle]

I know you guys probably hate our guts but good luck to you guys on your season. I hope you guys stay healthy and have a good one.

I pride myself on being reasonable, but I wish for a life of torment, loss, and horror for fans of every single other team.

LOL Headass is a legit insult

headass

Headass is a mild insult for someone acting foolishly, ignorantly, ridiculously, or ineptly. Headass is also used as an adjective or interjection, and sometimes as a verb.

Eff Bedard too.

If you read the article he lays down the facts, and lets the reader draw their own conclusion. And Vrabel has had early season woes.

Owns up to liking Mayo's camp practices better, but credits the quick start for it (they were even ahead in game 2).

In the article Bedard says he thinks Vrabel is a good coach.

It's really a valid take.

People hate Bedard. For his attitude during Deflategate, I guess? He’s a good reporter, gives some pretty good insight and opinions.

I don’t know people dislike him for some reason after we used to have Tuesday threads specifically for Bedard’s analysis on Felger and Mazz. But then he got cancelled around here and all of his thoughts are invalid or something.

It appears there were some premature reports of the Pats signing Bryce Ganious during the initial wave of UDFA signings back in April, when he was just brought into rookie minicamp for a tryout.

Patriots Sign 19 Players in the Undrafted Free Agent Market

The New England Patriots made 12 total selections in the 2025 NFL Draft and they were just as active in the undrafted rookie free agent market after the Draft.

Here is every player listed on the tryout sheet during the New England Patriots' rookie minicamp.

NESN ranked him as 17th (out of 18) in likelihood to make the roster as a UDFA, when they thought he was signed.

Ranking Patriots (Expected) UDFAs’ Chances Of Making Roster

The Patriots did their homework before the 2025 draft, adding a litany of players (drafted and undrafted) who could contribute this season.

nesn.com

Ganious is a good athlete, but he never graduated to anything more than a rotational role at Wake Forest. It’ll be difficult for him to receive any meaningful reps this summer.






So now the questions is, who was released to make room for Ganious?

i did not see any corresponding moves* ... That why I tagged DaBruinz... he sniffs that stuff out like a hobbit sniffs out second breakfast...


* to put that in a frame of reference... i signed up for twitter yesterday morning, and i didn't figure out how to track the tweets from the reporters who i "follow" until about 1130 today... the the frame of reference should be on the very low side of expectations...

Vrabel has a .571 winning % in Sept.

Bill was .719 in Sept w/ Brady. .433 without (Bledsoe, Cassel, Brisket, Jimmy G, Cam, Mac.)

As we all know, it's about how good of a team you have and how good the QB is which makes the difference rather than how training camp is run.

"Hope he knows what he's doing" is not a valid take re: Mike Vrabel. It's a hot take designed to get fans to click it and react in a negative manner, generating more interest. The last guy here didn't know what he was doing, and Bedard's playing to that audience. Vrabel is a former player with rings and a previous winner of Coach Of The Year. Vrabel is not a 1st year coach that was promoted too early. He knows what he's doing. Bedard's one statement comes off as that he's smarter than Vrabel. He's not. He's a knowledgeable reporter but this is another instance where his smarm gets in the way from what might be a good report.

Picked it up from my 27 yr old son. Apparently, it's a thing.

It's a lardass take. Here are the facts. Cincinnati was terrible out of the gate because they had a 1/2 WR. Chase was gassed by halftime because he held-in while he was waiting to get paid. 6 catches/62 yds. Burrows had no else to throw to.

Bob Sanders for a short time was one of the most impactful defensive players in the NFL He was the key to those Colts defenses especially the year they won it all. Great respect for him. He gave it his ALL and it shortened his career by a lot. Fearless was an understatement to describe him. He had an 8 yr career but in only 2 where he played more than 6 games.

But in those 2 years he was great. DPOY in 07

It astounded me that a safety could affect the game as much as sanders did. He could take over a game like LT

Waiting for the Cult meeting to start genuflecting over Baker.

genuflecting….

he was awesome. without him, their D was garbage, but when he played he was dynamite. his play in 06 was a big reason they got to and won super bowl

Maybe ill have to break my wheelchair out to watch the games
