We'll know a hell of a lot more by 4:30 pm September 13, 2020.

Empty Gillette Stadium. I think the Luxury Boxes can be used as long as no more than 10 people are allowed.

Perfect opening game measuring stick.......Miami Dolphins.

The New England Patriots drafted Joejuan Williams as a cornerback last year. Now he's working with the safeties.

NFL Network's Mike Giardi reported Friday that Williams has been taking meetings with the safety group and has been seen regularly working with that unit during Patriots practices.

Moving Williams to safety could help cover the hole left by Patrick Chung opting out of the 2020 season. At 6-foot-3, Williams' size could be an asset at safety, where he could help against bigger tight ends.

During his rookie season, the former 2nd-round-pick appeared in nine regular-season games, playing just 77 total snaps on defense, per Next Gen Stats, while seeing 82 plays on special teams.

The Pats added Adrian Phillips and second-round pick Kyle Duggar as safeties this offseason, but given the multiple-safety schemes Bill Belichick uses, adding Williams to the mix could prove beneficial.

At the very least, cross-training Williams at safety would allow the young defensive back more opportunities to see the field. In a season of uncertainty, where position groups have the chance to be decimated by COVID-19 for weeks at a time, players who can play multiple spots could provide even more benefit than a normal year.

Weird. Not sure what happened there. Sorry.

second tour with the New England Patriots came to an end on Friday for Will Hastings.

The Patriots announced they’ve waived the 24-year-old rookie wide receiver out of Auburn.

Hastings originally signed with New England as part of the organization’s undrafted class this spring, and was waived as NFL rosters reduced from 90 to 80 players ahead of training camp.

The 5-foot-10, 174-pound Hastings went unclaimed and returned to the depth chart on July 27, but had been a limited participant or among the absent in practices open to reporters.

A former Tigers target of Patriots quarterback Jarrett Stidham, Hastings played in 42 games during his tenure in the SEC and totaled 56 catches for 845 yards and six touchdowns. As a redshirt senior coming off a torn ACL last fall, he caught 19 passes for 222 yards and one TD.

According to Doug Kyed of NESN.com, the Patriots plan to sign free agent Andre Baccellia, who was among four wideouts recently in Foxborough for workouts.

Baccellia, a 5-foot-10, 175-pound undrafted rookie from Washington, had been waived by the Kansas City Chiefs last week. He registered 107 receptions and 10 rushes during his Huskies career, finishing with 1,302 yards from scrimmage to go with six touchdowns.

And has 4.28 speed combined with a decent 3 cone.

What a fucking waste of a trade.

 

[Southieinnc]

Wow. Part Covid, Part performance.

Covid means no patience and save money,
Performance has been noted.

Lots of sad stories in football.
Sanu can hold his head uo and say he once was
and he can say he played for the Patriots!
Good luck Sanu.....

 

[BigKen]

The New England Patriots will go into September without last October’s trade arrival.

As reported by Ian Rapoport of NFL Media on Wednesday evening, the Patriots plan to release veteran wide receiver Mohamed Sanu.

The 31-year-old Sanu had been acquired from the Atlanta Falcons ahead of the NFL trade deadline for what became pick No. 55 overall in the 2020 draft. Sanu would appear in eight games with New England to close the regular season, recording 26 receptions for 207 yards and one touchdown while working through an ankle injury. In the AFC wild card versus the Tennessee Titans, he’d catch one pass for 11 yards and return one punt for 23 yards.

The Patriots had placed Sanu on physically unable to perform to begin training camp after the 6-foot-2, 210-pound Rutgers product underwent surgery in March. He returned to the practice fields two days later having passed his physical.

Really surprised after all those work out vids he was putting out.

I was a little surprised but I kept hearing he had lost his suddenness.
I was hoping he'd get it back in practice. Apparently not.....
Probably just saved Jakobi's job?
