Camp Observations: Day 19 – New England Patriots Blog – ESPN Boston
Couple interesting nuggets…
Scrappy center Ryan Wendell continues to impress and may be a candidate to start at center.
Defensive end Trevor Scott looks like he’s bounced back after a stretch in which his play appeared to dip. Scott’s quickness off the edge made him a difficult player to stop in one-on-ones, and he seems to have the strength to be a good edge-setter in the run game.

Patriots First Touchdown 2012 Season Vs Saints (by djbrianfoxx)
Not exactly a regular season reaction from Foxboro, but we had to start somewhere this year.

Alright, Chandler Jones’ look is growing on me. And yes, maybe his play the other night has something to do with it.

Bequette shows up against Solder. Third-round draft choice Jake Bequette had a few speed rushes against left tackle Nate Solder in 1-on-1 drills. He looked quick.

Nick Saban on Bill Belichick’s Hybrid/Subpackage Defenders: “Star” and “Money” | Smart Football
“Everything that Bill Belichick does has some purpose…”
Fletcher to IR. White is in. Veteran Special Team presence with leadership.
Dennard to IR if possible, opening up a spot for Dan Koppen. He might not be the player he once was but with or without Brian Waters the o-line needs his veteran presence. Especially if Connolly ends up starting at RG if Waters decides to hang them up.
Shiancoe hanging by a thread.
Curious to look closer at Ebert, but he’d probably make it to the practice squad.
Did anyone see anything out of Ron Brace against the Saints? He’s still off.
Liked Will Allen’s physicality. He’s still on.
Kettani could be the dark horse.
I probably have too many OL, that will be the next place I open a spot, whether Vollmer or Waters come back, or Ebert or Ebner or Dennard shine at some point in the second and third preseason games.
