Week 17 practice/roster news: MM practicing! TB, Gilly, Rex, Branch not

[irishfanatic]

Good. Let the GOAT rest.

Patriots Q/B = GOAT
Patriots T/E = GOAT
Patriots H/C = GOAT

In all fairness they should consider renaming Gillette Stadium to The Goat Farm

Thats Patriots Death.

I think hes in jail....?

From WIKI:

On October 3, 2017, Gray was briefly jailed in Tampa Bay, Florida for failing to pay child support. He was released 17 hours later after paying the sum of $7,924.

From WIKI:

What a dummy

 

[Ring 6]

Ok, whatever. The pass still sucked. It happens, even with the GOAT.

If the guy ran the wrong route and he threw the ball where he was supposed to be then the pass didn’t suck.

 

[primetime]

...and that Titans organization was another train wreck while he was there.

Rams ran the ball very well in 2014 and 2015 when he was there.

2016 was a train wreck.

What I do know is the NEP signed him b/c they thought he could help them as a downfield blocker in the run game. I suspect if they felt he sucked at it, he would not be with the team.

I appreciate your optimism, but your line of argument throughout this thread has basically been that Britt was kicked to the curb by three bad teams with bare cupboards at wide receiver because they couldn't appreciate his apparently transcendent talent. Occam's razor would suggest that the reason he was kicked to the curb was rather that he just isn't very good.

No.

He left a 3-13 TN team as a FA. He signed with old coach Jeff Fisher in STL. He left as a FA and signed with CLE.

CLE is the only place he was kicked to the curb but you could say he really shot his way out of town.

 

[Uptown]

Any reasons? He's not even in the injury report.

The Titans benched him and tried to trade him in 2013 and there were no takers.

The Rams made no effort to retain his services once a competent coaching staff was in place. He had good counting stats last season but it was purely any port in a storm since the Rams had literally nobody else. He wasn't good.

I think Britt can contribute but he's nothing special. He's a 30 year old placeholder.

He was leaving as a FA anyway and was a dumb ass off the field.

Yea McVay had a problem with his off-the-field stuff (Reality shows, sex tapes. No question hes a different cat.) but based on what I read they liked him on the field. They pulled a Patriots and let him set his market.

but it was purely any port in a storm since the Rams had literally nobody else.

A $34m deal is not any port in the storm. Iggles wanted him last offseason. NE wanted him but price was too rich.

He wasn't good.

You can't be not good but have good counting stats. Having good stats means you are talented. ****ty teammate is a different animal.

I tend to agree. At this point in his career I think if he focuses on football and doesn't turn into an a-hole he can be a 40 catch WR3 here in 2018. He has talent.

 

[Mack Herron]

Lee must have aggravated his ankle.

 

[AtomicDawg]

Get the air conditioner.

 

[AtomicDawg]

BB with some gems.

 

[Ring 6]

@captain stone you will have to explain how throwing the ball to where the receiver is supposed to be is a bad throw when he goes the wrong way.

 

[Ring 6]

Lee must have aggravated his ankle.

Harrison did a “Misery” on it so he could get the snaps

How do we know that the wrong route was run?

 

[scott99]

Watching highlights of Harrison, he’s done some questionable things on the Football field, so I wouldn’t be surprised (kidding !). All joking aside, watch some highlights from his career, things he did earlier in his career, he would be flagged for now. Lots of helmet to helmet hits, targeting the head. Borderline dirty player, or if we are being honest, a dirty player. Glad he’s on our team not targeting Tommy or Gronk.

 

[long distance]

No Lee (possibly) makes proper preview of Harrison more likely ..

Lee is listed w ankle injury for the last 3 weeks which could explain limited production after explosive start.

I hope he does his best Moss impersonation.
Could we get our hands on Terrelle Pryor?

 

[Ring 6]

Because I said

If the guy ran the wrong route and he threw the ball where he was supposed to be then the pass didn’t suck.

And you disagreed.

Did lee practice earlier in the week?

I think there are better explanations for why lee dropped off after playing over his head for a bit than injury.
