Patriots OTA's

[BigKen]

LMAO! Ok dude.

Kraft wasn't smiling at all yesterday. Nor did he po-po the penalties. He was not a happy guy.

 

[Southieinnc]

Like I've been saying for about a year. Kraft has a $7.5B team here. He's accepted shit in the past because the team was winning and was in the playoffs every year. Ain't so now. Believe me when I tell you that Goodell knows that BB may be on a short leash. Anything he can do to wear it thinner or cut it would be his dream come true.

Bill got careless letting Judge do something stupid and unnecessary. If he actually knew that he did it. The smart thing that Bill could do is fire him and show that he will not accept screw up and is in control of the situation. Nope. It's a silence that is befalling Gillette. The media has taken control and now Kraft will have shit all over his face that he'll have to clean off every time he steps in front of a reporter or network person.

This could be very ugly behind the curtain.

Objection! This is all conjecture - and unlikely at that!

 

[Southieinnc]

Who is the head coach?

Matt Patricia was promoted.....

Kraft's response on TV wasn't conjecture. The rest is pretty much my opinion and past activity is fact about my previous opinions.

Your objection is recognized and noted.

11 takeaways from Patriots' first open OTA

 

[BigKen]

One other thing to note. The new TE Frisk might not be playing TE. He was a FB for a year or so in college and has speed and size. Tom Curran, Phil Perry and Trenni Casey all think that he could be the biggest new piece of BOB's offense. A plow for the RBs and an honest to goodness FB safety valve with hands and speed.

All of the WR absences were ecused. Looks like BB and BOB want to see the new guys get a chance to shit or shine.

Well looking at MACS numbers they seem to have shined?

Another area that saw plenty of movement was the offensive line. Groups included, from left to right, Calvin Anderson, Cole Strange, David Andrews, Antonio Mafi and Riley Reiff as well as Andrew Stueber, Kody Russey, Jake Andrews, Bill Murray and Sidy Sow. James Ferentz also rotated in at center with the latter group while Jake Andrews showed some potential versatility by sliding to right guard.
So, while the practice didn't offer many memorable moments and standout performances, there were plenty of opportunities to check out the rookie class as we start to figure out how some of them might fit into the equation once training camp arrives next month.

BB: "Again, a lot of what we are doing is really teaching. So, the evaluations will come in training camp when they are able to go out there and compete against each other. "

His coach said he could play at receiver. I'd have to agree

 

[BigKen]

Supposedly the reason he fell to BB was that some coach asked, "Does he want to be great? He has all of the tools but he's just too young to say that he wants to be great."

BB's answer. "I don't care what he didn't say. If he plays great, he'll never have to say a word. Everyone else will say it for him."
