20 Bing-Bang Bold Thoughts After Week 1 of Patriots Training Camp

by

  1. Tre Jackson is the young guard we’ve needed since Stephen Neal retired.
  2. If Shaq Mason can learn to pass block, the Pats O-Line is set for a while.
  3. The door is wide open for Jonas Gray, would love to see him run well against the Packers.
  4. I really hope this “minor” hamstring issue that caused Dobson to miss Thursday practice really is minor.
  5. Fine with Edelman missing a few practices on the other hand. The more wear and tear we can save on him the better.
  6. Defenses better choose their personnel to match up against Gronk and Chandler wisely, especially inside the 20.
  7. Tavon Wilson vs. Jordan Richards might be the best head-to-head training camp battle we’ve had. Wonder how the trickle down effect will affect Chung and Ebner.
  8. Brandon Gibson and Josh Boyce could be seeing a small ray of light for a chance of making the roster.
  9. If I was at camp I’d be most curious where Flowers and Grissom are lining up and being utilized. They’ll play a ton in preseason.
  10. With Chris White and Dane Fletcher out, there’s an open roster spot or two for a linebacker. Curious how James Morris and Eric Martin look in live action.
  11. Getting the feeling Bradley Fletcher will be in the fight of his life to beat out Jimmy Jean and/or Darrelle Roberts for a roster spot.
  12. Logan Ryan’s best spot might be in the slot, but I can see him and McClain both seeing time there.
  13. Pray Tarrell Brown keeps up his solid early pace. One of those vets had to emerge.
  14. Positive rumblings about Easley’s burst being back. If it really is, look out NFL.
  15. Have to wonder how long Alan Branch has to get on the field. They certainly need his veteran presence, but he won’t have forever.
  16. The potential of the defensive front seven is so intriguing. Add in the linebackers and it will be so hard to prepare for everything they can do.
  17. Malcom Brown’s going to see a lot of snaps this year. He and Siliga side-by-side is an intriguing run-stopping front that will be needed especially against the Bills and Eagles.
  18. Vollmer will still start at RT to start the season. Despite trade speculation I think he sticks. Hard to trade someone still in recovery somewhat.
  19. Zach Moore is the wild card of the defense, no clue how he’ll be used but I think he’s going to make some unexpected noise.
  20. Brady won’t miss a game.
