The New England Patriots make Patrick Chung’s retirement official, and add a new tight end to the roster. The team also hosts two free agents for pre-camp workouts.

David Wells is a big blocking tight end that needs coaching. Started as a QB and converted to TE with very little opportunity. - signed
Brian Cole is a tough, hard hitting safety. only in the box. Cannot cover. His value on ST's could keep him around if he gets coaching. - workout
Spencer Pulley: Spencer Pulley: The Good, the Great and the Ugly - workout

We have had fantastic luck with converted QB's as WR's...so, why not a a QB/TE conversion?

How many TEs is Bill thinking of keeping on the roster? You could likely stash Wells on the PS? Ground and pound is coming folks.

Think of this offensive set.
5 OL,
Cam at QB,
Smith, Henry, Wells
Jakob Johnson
and featured back Brandon Bolden.

OK, I joke.

Featured back Stevenson

Henry, Wynn, Owenue, Andrews, Mason, Brown, Smith.............Wells

Jones

Harris, Johnson

Pull Owenue to the right and continuously steam roll the defense. By mid-third quarter start going to a 5 receiver set and see how gassed a defense is after being assaulted for half a game.

I don't want Cam anywhere near the ball. He thinks he's Barry Sanders and would never hand the ball off.

I'm hoping we never see Cam on the field but for some reason BB sees it differently. Nor do I want him running the ball. I'm using him as another blocker after he hands it off or pitches it.

I'm sorry, but I just don't trust him. I just deleted the 2020 Raider and Jets games from my DVR. One was the last game of 2020 and the other was the first win. He looked worse in the last game than the first win. Maybe it's just me, I'll have to see him in camp and a game in 2021.

We'll want at least 3. Maybe 4 if we are thinking of 3 TE sets?

 

[sharkymcwrath]

We'll have the best O-line in football, one of the best RB stables, potentially the best TE situation, and likely an above average receiving group and Cam will run it up the gut for a yard and a half every down, losing the ball to a fumble 10% of the time.

I really fucking hope Mac has what it takes to win the job outright.

Above average receiving group?????

 

[sharkymcwrath]

Above average receiving group?????

I think so. I didn't say great. I said above average meaning better than 16 or so other teams. Adequate.

Yeah I get what it means but if BB is still hell bent on Cam is our man I think that is generous

Belichic is publically in on Cam is our man.
Reallity is that the job is there for the taking.

Hence the word IF

 

[BigKen]

Hence, Stidham isn't even getting a chance. WTF? Why is he on the PUP List? Because he out played both Mac and Cam during the OTAs?

Something really stinks here.

Actually I just read something at the Pats site that indicated neither Mac or Stidham did anything to separate themselves from Camella

I read it too but in context, it really doesn't say anything.

It's still Newton's job to lose, but nothing is assured and Jones and Stidham will have every opportunity to make strong pushes.

Seriously BK? Seriously?

Save the conspiracy crap for those who need click bait. There is a reason for sure and because BB doesn't tell us doesn't mean it's shady. He doesn't tell ANYTHING.

 

[Southieinnc]

I can't imagine Stidham talking about an injury if it means all the media telling everyone he is going to get cut.

As usual, nobody outside Foxborough know anything - but they need to keep talking for 2 more weeks!

"Seeing Jarrett Stidham’s name come up on the PUP list was a surprise, and we’ve yet to hear any official news about his status. Reiss speculated in his Sunday column that the quarterback could be dealing with a nagging ailment that he could be managing, but it’s definitely an issue as he tries to establish his role for the upcoming season."

Did he step on a nail or did he sprain his ankle?

Agreed but as it stands Camella appears to be the front runner

C'mon dude. You cannot seriously believe that, can you?
