2021 NE Patriots Roster

[BigKen]

Is this like the McCourty's? Does Kyle have a brother?

I'm probably going back to bed for a nap. My tipping is getting a bite out of wrack.

Just heard on the NFL Network Patrick Chung is retiring.

Thoughts?

Thoughts?

He'll be missed. he wasn't Rodney Harrison, but he was like a cioach on the field and he'll be missed, especially by the young guys. He lives in Meridith, NH on lake Winnepasukee. He should stick with the psts as an Ass't Coach. He's only 130 miles from Gillette.

How much did this save NE on the cap?

He’s retiring.

$6M

No way.....
$6 million dead money washes that out. There will be $900k cap savings left.......

 

[NWPATSFAN]

$6M

Thanks. 6M more for BB to play with.

 

[NWPATSFAN]

$6M

This could possibly put S. Trevon Moehrig from TCU in play at #15 now?

Still too many unkowns.

Think BB knew about this when he signed Devin Smith and Jalen Mills??

I'd have to say he had an inclination it was going to happen. Chung seemed to be a straight shooter and respected Bill and company.

Patrick Chung is retiring. Those are my thoughts. To be honest I was nervous every time he was on the field

 

[sharkymcwrath]

Or maybe Chung understood his days were numbered after those signings and took the high road?

I don't think "cap savings" belongs since he still needs to be replaced.

I was watching a televised podcast tonight. Mike Lombardi had spoken in a press conference on this past Friday and talked in detail about the Patriots signings. He also discussed Cam Newton in detail and while they were showing parts of Lombardi's specific wording, they also showed at least 8 or 10 different photos of Cam throwing the ball. In every single photo, Cam's right hand is back in the throwing motion and never once was his hand back past his shoulder. Never once was his hand over the top of his shoulder, most often it was at a 35 to 45 degree angle away from the shoulder. His right shoulder prevents him from cocking and releasing.

I wanted to see if I can bring my hand back beyond my shoulder and I can line up the edge of my hand to my back. If I bring my hand above my shoulder, I can move my hand nearly a foot behind my shoulder. Cam cannot bring hiss hand up and back over his shoulder. His limited motion bring him into a near side arm motion when he throws.

It's a wonder that he can throw the ball as far as he does and as accurately as he does. The man has incredible arm strength with his lack of motion.

That's my observation from all of those photos and trying to see what I can do at my age. I can only guess that throwing at the weird angle must also hurt.

I have had surgery on my throwing arm.
I cannot bring mt arm even to vertical.
I mentioned in a previos thread that after surgery, you get part of yoour rotation by rotating your shoulderblade. Not an efficient way to throw.
I still have good accuracy but when I have to air it out a bit, it hurts. I also lose my accuracy if I try to power through it.
It will loosen up a bit after some throws but then it falls apart.
The next day it feels like I dislocated it.

We beat the crap out chargers and 4 days later we we routed by the Rams. Newton was so bad he was benched. Get the picture?

BB usually reserves those spots for UDFs so they can kick tires and have dummies with one action...
