Patriots Training Camp: 7/29 Practice Observation Round Up

by

I’m a little overwhelmed this morning, all the practice reports are rolling in, there’s just so much excitement it’s hard to put up a blog when there’s more and more news constantly flowing in. Here’s what’s up so far, and I’ll update this page throughout the day with the afternoon recaps as well…

Some initial thoughts from me: Derrick Burgess is a mysterious no show and with Crazy Legs already being cut this could be a very interesting story to keep an eye on. Surely the media want to talk all about missing Mankins, but Burgess’ absence gives them another story to focus on. Hopefully it’s clarified soon, but Belichick said all the players that are under contract were present, and Burgess is supposedly under contract. So it’s just weird. Could he be retiring? 

Sounds like Chung is still running with the first defense. This is his time to shine. Hopefully there will be many glowing practice reports about him this preseason.

Ike Reese told of a harrowing experience trying to recover a Brian Westbrook fumble during a punt return against the Patriots.

“Mike Vrabel grabbed my sac,” Reese said. “We’re all scrambling for the ball and Mike Vrabel had my nuts so hard I was screaming. I didn’t even have the ball. He had my shit in his hands and he’s squeezing. We don’t wear cups. So I’m dying. Everything is fair game. The pile clears and I see him-now Mike, he’s an Ohio guy, and I played against him at Ohio State when i was at Michigan State-and he’s smiling and shit at me. I turned to him and said, “You f**kin’ asshole.”

End of the Line for the Crable Bandwagon

by

For the past few months we’ve been hyping Shawn “Crazy Legs” Crable as the 2010 Patriots Breakout Player… unless he got cut. It’s important to note that the “unless he gets cut” addendum was always added when talking about Crable. Seriously, search “Crable” on this blog and you’ll see for yourself. 

Just days ago on PatsPulpit.com I rated him my number one most intriguing player in training camp. Then on Tuesday he gets put on the PUP list and today he gets cut.

It was an inglorious end to an inglorious career and while we can make fun of Crable and talk about what a disappointment he was, it’s a pretty safe bet that no one is more disappointed or upset than Crable himself. A week ago he was preparing for camp (as to how hard he was preparing only he knows for sure) hoping he could finally overcome the injury bug and become an NFL linebacker.

Today he’s probably hoping another team might take a flyer on him, and if not, wondering what he’s going to do with his life.

We weren’t on the Crable bandwagon hoping he would fail, so while most of the internet is abuzz at what a bust he was in a mean spirited tone, we just want to wish Crable the best. Time to put that Michigan education to use.

And it’s time for PatsPropaganda.com to build a new bandwagon. Any suggestions?

From what I understand, they’re gutting out the whole place,” Brown said this afternoon at Mohegan Sun Casino where he was speaking to a group at the Comcast Sportsnet football roundtable. “There’s no pictures of Troy Brown, there’s no pictures of Tedy Bruschi, no pictures of Rodney Harrison in the building. It’s all wiped off. It’s (saying), ‘Get your own identity. Get a name for yourseflves and don’t worry about what Troy Brown did or Rodney Harrison did for this football team.’ …That’s gonna be the key to this year is, ‘Can these guys get their own identity?’ Forget about the past and how successful they were let’s be successful in our own way.
