Geneo Grissom:

With half of training camp and two preseason games in the books, it is time to take another look at the 53-Man Roster and how things may shake out.

We already posted about the solid work done by Jimmy Garoppolo, LeGarrette Blount, and Anthony Johnson. So who else stood out?

For the Patriots, now is the time to get things accomplished, the season opener is Arizona is only 24 days from today.

2nd-year player Geneo Grissom is looking to be as versatile as possible to not only stick on the 53-man roster but to find as many reps on the field.

With the two team scrimmages last week, followed by some strong work against the Saints in joint practices, Flowers is kicking his game into high gear.

In this episode, we started by talking about our obeservations from the first scrimmage from the Patriots. We ended by discussing the overall observations from training camp so far.

They added Terrance Knighton, Frank Kearse, and Markus Kuhn in FA, Vincent Valentine in the draft and Chris Long, this season’s reclamation project.

He was weak in setting the edge in the running game. Jones production was like a Halloween mask, it disappeared after October 31.

Defensive End Had Rookie Season Derailed by Injuries The Patriots are quite deep at the defensive end position heading into 2016. With Rob Ninkovich and Jabaal Sheard penciled in as […]

like many of Bill Belichick’s moves, it was a bargain for the team. Now Sheard joins the ranks of those players deserving of a new deal.

The latest rumor surrounding the Patriots has to do with free agent Arizona Cardinal defensive end Dwight Freeney. The 36-year old edge rusher is still looking for a home in 2016

“He’s passionate about football and winning, He’s an excellent fit for the Patriots, and the Patriots are an excellent fit for him.”

Carl Nassib from Penn State led the country in sacks with 15.5 in 2015 and also had 19.5 tackles for loss (TFL) and six forced fumbles.

Adding Long was a master stroke by Bill Belichick as within hours he was able to swing a trade for DE Chandler Jones to the Arizona Cardinals for a 2nd round draft pick as well as G Jonathan Cooper and then add Long to replace Jones on the roster.

Regardless, the trade is a win-win for both teams, Arizona is looking for a pass rusher having Dwight Freeney now a free agent and the Patriots have questions with the offensive line and have lost their 1st round draft pick with Deflategate sanctions.
