I completely agree with this. At this stage there's no point clogging up his brain with option plays or forcing him to run precise routes. Toss up the ball on go/corner/post/deep comeback routes and tell him that if he wants a future in the NFL, he has to beat the corner and go get it. It's...

I think Bedard's saying that the belief is that it wasn't a serious injury, and that a more driven player (such as Brady) would have forced himself back onto the field, no matter what, and that Stidham didn't.

Actually, I would say to take a step back and look at the bigger picture - essentially, strategy over tactics. Point 1 - Seattle has an aggressive defense - therefore you run some plays to see if the defenders will take themselves out of the play - i.e. screen passes and counter runs (which...

My hope/suspicion is Kyle Duggar... no-one has grabbed Chung's SS spot in camp, and he's shown out well... might be good for some big plays this season.

In the UK we're getting the Pats game on Sky, followed by Saints/Bucs. Can't wait!

Hurrah!

For me, I'd extend Thuney now and grab the cap space. We're going to need it, and there's only so many Burkhead-type deals we can do. He's not the type of player who is going to fall off a cliff once he's been paid. Shaq Mason has to know that he's on the hot seat this season after his...

This is bad even by Mike's standards...

That's fine by me, you can teach how to block well. You can't teach effort and toughness.

I think the problem with an H-Back is the old 'jack of all trades but master of none' situation. Not as good as a proper full-back, nor as good as a true F-type/move tight end. I thought He Who Must Not Be Named was great lining up in the backfield, but it's a very rare set of skills.

For me it was 2016 because of everything it meant. It meant that the argument was finally over as to who was the greatest QB of all time - Brady had 5 rings, and he'd just brought the Pats back from 28-3 down on the greatest stage of them all. It meant that Bill was firmly carved onto the...

Great news, because it means that we can't sign him. Winston doesn't have the discipline it takes to be a NFL quarterback. He can throw the ball, but has no idea who it's going to. Every time he chucks it deep you may as well flip a coin.

Seems like one of those that has to contribute on special teams to ever have a chance to make it. Speed/size are obvious pluses. Can anyone comment as to what he's like as a tackler?

Strong leg and he hit them when it mattered. Works for me. MCGILL: Rohrwasser stays ready for this month's NFL Draft - Marshall University Athletics

I like Rosen a lot more than many, but he's not a Patriots fit. He's got that gunslinger mentality that suits the Bruce Arians of the world much more than BB's protect-the-football-at-all-costs way of life. He has a great throwing motion and footwork, but is way too ballsy when it comes to...

I get that, and you make good points. But in return, I would say that the Lamar Jackson issue was whether his game could adapt to the NFL level (and these days we are seeing that the answer is increasingly yes). Whereas this year's motley crew is flawed quarterbacks who seem to be missing...

Frankly it's just proof that the NFL media is full of ****ing idiots. If Love, Herbert or Fromm were actually any good, then they'd be mocked much higher in the 1st round. They'd be going in the top 10 because they'd be franchise quarterbacks. But the reality is that all three are fundamentally...

Greg Bedard has interviewed Bodine's OL coach at the Bengals - great article. What kind of player are the Patriots getting in Russell Bodine? The man who developed him breaks it down | Boston Sports Journal Key points: "one of the toughest human beings I've ever been around" Great fit for New...

If they end up with Trevor Lawrence in 2 years time, I swear to god I will break something.
