Yeah. I really enjoyed the Pats' final pre-season game last year. That was the game for final cuts. You could see how much LeGarrette Blount wanted to make the team, and he did, while the Dark Lord gave other guys the same chances and they couldn't step up.

Hard to get to fired up but at least it's some football!

Good luck to you guys this season hokiehi21~

(((No Injuries)))

The Pats are going to showcase Mallet. He's in the last year of his rookie contract. They picked up a backup QB in the draft, and it wouldn't surprise me to see Mallet somewhere else by Opening Day.

that is one guy I wish they brought back.

It's too bad they had to let him go but they do have depth at the RB position.

I'd rather not see Ridley get on the field.

still think he may end up in Houston.

And he's a year older. On the other hand, the rest of the guys are about speed and agility. Blount gave them mass-in-motion. And who else had a guy that size taking kickoffs?

Let's see how well he holds onto the ball in preseason.

RG-III playing tonight?

They'll use him...until.

 

[TxHeat]

until the inevitable..at the 1 yard line...as the ball squirts free like a greased pig.

 

[hokiehi21]

RG-III playing tonight?

8 to 10 plays or so.

Damn! I thought the pig-fucking discussion was over.

I'll have my eyes on special teams. That has to improve. More touchbacks, more hangtime on punts, better punt coverage. I wonder how they'll split Forbath and Hocker's FG attempts

Last preseason, the Eagles spent a week at Foxboro before the game. I think Belichick and Kelly conspired to set up the matchups and situations they wanted for player evaluations and training. It seemed like a smart idea to me. Good coaches don't care about who wins in pre-season. That's not the point.

so mallet will start the trade bait bowl with KC coming in 8-10 plays later

wish we could have seen brady for a few plays but oh well
