I’m a little bit smaller than most of the other guys around here. So to make up for that, I have to be fast and be able to cover, so I take that as a strength, and I work on it.

At 6-foot-3, 282 pounds, Will Smith is more Wilforkian than Revish, but during a drop-back drill for defensive ends, the big man moved well and made one leaping grab that was particularly impressive. For a player of his size – coming off of ACL surgery, no less – Smith showed glimpses of what made him a hard-to-handle athlete in New Orleans.
Julian Edelman was one of the stars of Thursday’s practice. The wide receiver caught three passes against Darrelle Revis – two along the left side line and one in the middle of the field. Kenbrell Thompkins was another wideout who stuck out.
I’m liking the Garoppolo look, definitely takes over second place on the “look” depth chart over Mallett.
WTF is going on with Brandon Bolden’s facemask? This is a NO on so many levels. Don’t make me root for you to get cut, Brandon. Did someone leave your helmet in the oven the entire offseason? I just can’t handle this.

Garoppolo started off hot, going 4-for-6 in 7-on-7s and 4-for-7 in 11-on-11s. But as the Patriots continued to work Garoppolo in 11-on-11 drills, he dropped to 13-for-24. Garoppolo spread the ball around well, targeting receivers and running backs.
[T]he presence of defensive lineman Vince Wilfork (ruptured Achilles, Sept. 29) in some 11-on-11 work today was our biggest takeaway. He looks to be moving well, as we noticed him pushing off hard and exploding forward to put pressure on the left side of the offensive line. Wilfork didn’t participate in the full practice, but it seemed like a significant step.
