The pads come on tomorrow so that’s when things get interesting. One other tidbit that I caught this morning was that Dane Fletcher suffered a torn ACL at the end of last year (not sure how I missed that) and is expected to start on the PUP. That will shift a lot of 53-man projections, maybe opening a spot up for someone like James Morris.
Here are the tweets that caught my eye…
Aplane just flew over Gillette with a banner that read: “New England Aerial supports Tom Brady”

Noticed a few more plays on the ball today from the CBs. Bradley Fletcher and Malcolm Butler each had a PBU in the end zone.

Pats are finding ways to get Chandler Jones, Ninkovich and Sheard on the field at the same time.

Jordan Richards blanketed Gronk on an INC in the end zone. Second time in two days the rookie has stuck out.

11-on-11s now. Lots of moving pieces. Defense keeps changing alignments. Both 3-4 and 4-3 looks. Ninko was just at LB, dropped into coverage
