Barstool Sports’ Jerry Thornton Sends a Letter from Camp

by

Nobody mixes astute football observations with fall-down funny like Jerry, and we’re not just saying that because he wore our Obbey shirt to camp. Great stuff in this one, including the picture it came with of course.

Brady was in limited action, splitting the first team reps with Ryan Mallet before calling it an early day.  But the thing that jumped out was the chemistry he already has with Danny Amendola.  We’ve treated DA like he’s the ugly chick we had to settle for at closing time, but he’s got a ridiculous skill set**.  He’s a little bigger than Wes Welker, and can go 0 to 60 faster than him.  But he’s got that same gear where the lower half of his body turns into blurry ovals, like the Road Runner.  And he seems more able to get behind defenses.  It’s early yet, but I stand by what I told Felger and Mazz Friday: I feel like Amendola is going to become my Spirit Animal.

Good stuff from Doug Kyed, excited to see what Thompkins does on Friday.

While Dosbon excels on the big play, going up over defenders with his leaping skills and deep speed, he struggles to make more intricate cuts in his route running. And while Boyce’s strengths lie in his agility, route running and speed out of breaks, he’ll struggle at contending for the ball in air. Thompkins appears to excel in all areas through eight practices. He had no trouble getting open in the short field, due to his quick feet and precise cuts and he has a penchant for big plays, whether it’s cruising down the field past defenders for a deep ball or winning an in-air jump ball.

It’s different for me because I never, ever tried to do that,” Spikes said of learning the defense as a whole. “But as far as knowing where everyone is supposed to be, where they’re going to be, the pre-snap reads, the post-snap reads, it just helps me out. As far as reading schemes, I’m noticing formations and stuff like that. Bill is always on me, ‘Don’t get complacent. Do more and more, and the better you are, the better we are.’ I try to be accountable.
