PATRIOTS TRAINING CAMP Training Camp Day 9

[captain stone]

I thought we might be seeing Burkhead get replaced, but as of yesterday he led all backs, TEs, and even WRs in receptions, with a good catch percentage. RB is deep if all get healthy.

Dats cuz he’s DA BURKMEISTA!

Yep...zero chance he'll be released after his restructuring, as long as he stays healthy.

 

[WaterfallJumper]

Take it for what it's worth. Sony is in the background running an angle route or choice route, simulating a release from the backfield, and he catches the pass pretty naturally for him. Looks like he's moving well enough (no limp or favoring the foot that I can notice).

 

[Horace's Ivories]

Harry keeps winning vs Michael Jackson everyday.

I understand on one of those Jackson yelled across to Gilmore: "Stevie G - s'not my cover!"

I hope Asiasi is ok.

My guess is that since he was present, even in limited fashion, it's not major. Usually for a bad injury he would miss practice entirely, right? At least that's my naive hope.

 

[TheRainMaker]

Anybody like Harry's nickname "Doughboy" given by Newton?

 

[DaBruinz]

Yeah that signing is looking weirder by the day...

Not really. Not when you consider Bolden being out for the year. Burkhead having missed significant time since he signed with the Pats. Michel having missed time in each of his 1st two seasons.

There have been several years under Belichick where they've had 2 or more RBs go down for long periods of time.

2005 - Corey Dillon, Kevin Faulk, Patrick Pass, Heath Evans injured.. Mike Cloud, Amos Zereoue
2010 - Danny Woodhead, Fred Taylor, Kevin Faulk injured -
2011 - Kevin Faulk, Shane Vereen injured
2013 -Bolden and Vereen Injured
2014 - Ridley and Blount
2015 - Lewis and Blount

So, I think having Miller around in case of an injury isn't a bad idea.. Even if he starts the season on the PUP, I think it's ok.. I don't see anyone jumping to put Taylor on their main squad so I see him easily going to the PS.

"Riv"

 

[Deus Irae]

This team has the potential to be very good.

It does? Do, please explain what "very good" is, and how this team's current potential gets them there. The positive people will love to hear your breakdown to success.

The QB side sessions continue to make me skeptical about all those Sanu surprise cut predictions.

 

[Uptown]

"Riv"

“Riv”??? He’s either in the Pats’ HOF & BB hasn’t told us yet, or he’s cut by 4pm this afternoon

 

[Deus Irae]

The QB side sessions continue to make me skeptical about all those Sanu surprise cut predictions.

I don't see where it makes sense to cut Sanu right now. I know people are focused on the money. But, after the disaster at WR last season, I don't see why BB would risk a repeat by leaving himself undermanned at the position.

If its because Cam thinks Harry needs to lose weight then no.

If its because Harry makes more money than Cam then I can live with it.

I don't see how anyone could be anything but thrilled with how Newton is carrying himself and how he answers all type of questions pretty honestly. Whether that is giving kudos to everyone that helps him or realistic evaluations of himself:





Obviously he might still fail on the field but he certainly seems to have the right attitude.

Oh man that Mike Reiss tweet lol. Talk about taking a quote out of context to make up a headline out of thin air.

That's not how Reiss rolls. Is it out of context ? When Newton was asked if he feels like the starter... he said "Absolutely not"....today.
