Yeah, if this offense doesn’t miss a beat, it will certainly be one of the crown jewels of Brady’s career. Brady’s already a lock for Canton, but doing it with another entirely new set of receivers sets another precedent.
I’m fully expecting it at this point given Brady’s still in his prime and the offensive line looks poised for a great season. It all starts with those two keys, weapons can be cycled in and out if the QB and OL are great.
Good film breakdown of some key plays from the Eagles game from Oliver Thomas at NEPatriotsDraft.com. I never get too excited or concerned after preseason games, but there are certainly plenty of things to work on and build on.
Good stuff here and I agree with all, especially the pass rush problems. Getting pressure with your front seven will make any secondary look better than they are.
Updating Patriots’ Key Position Battles Halfway Through Training Camp
Here’s our Monday B/R piece, updating where we’re at with some of the bigger position battles. All still very fluid, but here are guys that are rising to the occasion first.
What’s next for the Patriots? – New England Patriots Blog – ESPN Boston
When looking closer at the Patriots’ rotation at defensive end on Friday night, it caught the eye that 2013 seventh-round pick Michael Buchanan came on before 2012 third-round pick Jake Bequette. Buchanan, who looks the part at 6-foot-6 and 255 pounds, caught our eye with a nice combination of speed and power off the defensive left side. He got sucked inside on a Matt Barkley quarterback keeper for 8 yards in the second quarter – which was a good learning experience for him when it comes to discipline in maintaining the edge – but otherwise showed up with some solid work. He’s a player we want to see more of this week.
They came in there talking. They had a lot of jokes, and (he-hes) and laughs, a lot of dirty plays that were going on. So there was a reason behind what I did, there was a reason behind the madness. At the end of the day, I still got to do things the way coach wants me to do it, and I understand that. But it definitely would have been a different situation if it was in Baltimore. It wouldn’t have been a fun practice for the Patriots, I can tell you that.
The Blitz with Jeff Howe & Karen Guregian | Boston Herald
Jeff Howe summed it up well:
To recap: Williams, who has barely practiced due to a hamstring injury, didn’t like the way the Patriots handled themselves on the field during 1-on-1s and 7-on-7s and willingly got himself and the Patriots’ second-round pick ejected when 11-on-11s started. Williams returned to practice today after missing the rest of the week with the hammy issue.
