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

[Love The Drake]

I feel bad for Kenny Britt.

 

[Love The Drake]

So we kept Jordan Richards over Kenny Britt.
Really?

 

[PatsFan2]

You guys reading too much into this Kenny Britt with boxes thing. What if he's just changing Lockers??

Don't get me started Chris...BB the GM killing the HOF HC.

Moonlighting as a Fed Ex or UPS delivery person?

 

[GorBelSer]

Or maybe he chose to live on the field until the kickoff?

Safety depth and special teams. He actually sees the field on multiple units. He is a situational role player on the defensive side of the ball, too.

What was going to happen to Britt once Mitchell returned? Hell, even Dorsett may be a game day inactive if Hogan and Mitchell join Cooks and Amendola.

 

[supafly]

Well he's not as proven as Britt. I think age played a factor as well. Maybe they think Dorsett can have a future here idk. His route running still leaves a lot to be desired.

Dorsett likely has a higher upside and could improve after a full offseason of learning, practicing, and training. At least that may be the hope of the coaching staff.

Or him and Gronky are making a playhouse

Apparently Britt was moving boxes today in the lockerroom ....

No Days Off!!!!!

 

[Wheelman]

Mike saw this thread and decided to join the discussion
(had exact same thought myself then)

Yeah because the two plays are the same, ok Reiss...

 

[Wheelman]

Brady is the Goat. I don't have any stupid argument in my head about that. I am not criticizing Brady, I am just pointing out facts.

Lets play where is waldo. I mean Dorsett is so open, I think even you may find it hard to find him. This is what Josh was saying to Brady and he got all pissy.
Is something wrong with the insert img on this forum?

Everyone was open on that play and it confused the hell out of Brady and probably didn't want to throw a pick thinking it was some sort of genius disguise.

That's how you beat Brady, don't cover anyone...

You're just jealous.

 

[Love The Drake]

I like what I heard coming from Britt we had him at a reasonable contract.
Make no sense doing that.

 

[captain stone]

Because I said


And you disagreed.

You are ass-uming a hypothetical, that the wrong route was run by Dorsett during the Brady-to-Cooks INT. Some of us, including the Patriots OC, believes that Brady made the wrong read.

 

[Hercules Rockefeller]

Dorsett has contributed, why would it shock you?

He may on the small side, but he has been impressive with his blocking. It is too bad about Britt, but Dorsett is more likely to be a meaningful contributor going forward.

 

[TheBostonStraggler]

It is too bad about Britt

Putting his locker contents into boxes is not a good sign, for sure. However, this happened 12 hours ago yet "Britt released" hasn't been, that I'm aware of, reported by Reiss or anyone similar. Again the boxes thing seems like an obvious sign -- not a lot of other plausible explanations -- yet based on the amount of time with no news I'd say the release isn't yet a certainty.

Provided Britt is on board with it, this could also be a release-resign next game/when needed type thing. Due to injuries BB may need a different player position for this week.

So it may not quite yet be the end of Britt with the Patriots. We'll see...

 

[luuked]

So if we are going to continue the "lack of trust equals see ya later WR" meme from the Mitchell Returns thread - if Britt's ignorance led directly to the first PICK 6 of the season, why would Brady EVER throw to him again much less trust him?

Therefore, since trust is the end all be all of WRs being kept or cut round this board it should be obvious Britt would be on the chopping block....

Right?

From my POV I think the entire Brady & trust narrative is used a bit over the top by the media and fans. Yes, if you repeatedly do the wrong thing then Brady wont look to you but before that I doubt that you will even see the field too much (except in case of injuries).

Thats because the activation of MM and cut of Britt will happen today around the deadline.

While I wouldnt count out a resigning at some point it is usually not a good sign for the future if they cut someone who they still had on cheap for another year.
