If the pats are not happy with the tightend depth, why not sign Keller or Finley

by

Seems like they’re not ready otherwise I’m sure someone else would’ve signed them as well. I think it’s safe to say that the Pats will be making more moves at the position before the season starts. Maybe even right after cutdowns, there’s always a lot of unexpected movement at that time.

One thing they cannot afford to do is hurry Gronk into the lineup, then throw him right into the fire playing every snap. Ideally you’d limit the amount of blocking he has to do. Maybe even just use him more as an “F” tight end, especially in the red zone. That’s where his biggest impact is.

With Mayo not participating in practice the past three days, and veteran James Anderson a bit banged up and not expected to play, this is the type of opportunity third-year linebacker Darius Fleming has been waiting for. The former Notre Dame product who missed the first two years of his career with the 49ers because of knee injuries, has been playing both on the line and off the line, and this week was integrated more into the top special-teams mix. He’s making a hard push for a roster spot and based on circumstances that have unfolded outside of his control, he should have a nice opportunity to show what he can do Friday night.

Good guy to watch tonight, and he could be in there sooner than later assuming Mayo isn’t playing. Sometimes I find myself more excited in the second half to see the guys going all out to make the team than the guys who are just going through the motions to get ready for the regular season.

The NFL previews are starting to roll in and this is from the great writer Chris Brown (formerly of SmartFootball.com, which I highly suggest you check out). I’m sure Belichick was very interested to get a closer look at how the Eagles ran things this week and it will be fascinating to see how the Patriots defense adjust to what the Eagles do tomorrow night.

New England Patriots Training Camp Report: Darrelle Revis, Gronkowski | The MMQB with Peter King

Always great when we get Greg Bedard back with some Patriots perspectives. One point he makes that I think I’ve mentioned is that Browner is far from a lock to be the every down RCB when he returns in Week 5. With the new rules that cornerbacks can barely even breathe on receivers, I agree that Browner is likely a matchup piece far more than an entrenched starter.
