What cracks me up is when anybody calls them out on their bias they deny it big time. It is like the biggest insult in the world. We are all human and all have certain bias'. I'm not sure why they fight that so much.

And Boston I think it is mostly they just say things much louder. Such a difference listening to Boston radio compared to Midwest radio. Have to turn down the volume every time.

Honestly can't stand most Boston Radio... I just don't get how they can continue to talk about Price when he clearly screwed up as did everyone else and it's been talked to death so stop it. Yes, we all have biases and we should own them

Oh every media person has their bias. It has been fun watching the media go crazy about the QB battle in Denver. One media person will say that Paxton threaded a pass 50 yards down the field between 2 defenders. The next will say that he threw up a hail mary in the hopes his WR would come down with it in double coverage. Saw a pass yesterday that Siemian threw where the WR was running a very clear post route to the corner of the end zone and had to turn his body completely in the opposite direction, tripped over his own feet trying to turn around, somehow caught the football on a miracle grab and the media were saying "Siemian just threw a beautiful 40 yard pass". Most of the media are big time Siemian homers because he is really nice to the media. Have guys inside the Bronco facility though that say he has been trash all training camp and Paxton is running away with the thing.

They sound like hoop posters

A lot depends on your vantage point as far the media is concerned. Guy on one side sees things one way while the guy on the other sees it totally different. Of course it does matter which player is involved.

Edelman has history of fighting with his team mates. At Kent State he went after one of his WRs because he ran a route wrong and JE threw a pick. He's had a number of "arguments" on the Patriots, but he's also the first one to apologize and extend his hand.

Got a tweet this morning saying that "a number of Patriots are nursing Minor injuries today." Full pad practices take their toll. Gotta work through the dings...........

The New England Patriots lost WR Matthew Slater and WR Chris Hogan to injuries on Wednesday, as both left the practice field.

The New England Patriots lost WR Matthew Slater and WR Chris Hogan to injuries on Wednesday, as both left the practice field.

The biggest takeaway from the Patriots' practice on Wednesday (6th of training camp) was that special teams captain Matthew Slater and wide receiver Chris Hogan didn't finish the session. Slater looked stiff as he walked off the field about midway through, and then Hogan had his right knee examined toward the end of the session and didn't return as he watched practice with a big bag of ice over his knee.

 

[BigKen]

Danny Amendola and Malcolm Mitchell are not practicing on the upper field and have not been there since camp opened. Amendola has come up near the end of practice to take kick offs and punts. They are out all practices on the lower practice field, out of sight of the media and fans.

The guys who looks like he's really making a move to play is Deatrich Wise. Strong, fast and determined as hell. Short clips I've seen are really impressive. He is a handful in 1 on 1s.

What everyone perceived as the deepest position is now the weakest as the WRs are starting to been dinged up. Matthew Slater who is listed as a WR was helped off the practice field today by trainers. Julian Edelman went up for a pass against Johnathan Jones and jones came down on his foot. Chris Hogan who had calf and thigh problems last year had a knee mysteriously swell up today. Austin Carr is taking advantage of the fact that he's getting way more reps than he usually would get and isn't dropping balls.

The defensive backs are surprising active and much better than anyone thought. Gilmore isn't afraid to mix it up with anyone, WR, RB or TE. Malcolm Butler is just plain shutting down anyone he's been assigned. Because the QBs know they can't be tackled or hit, the WRs are getting to make as many as 5 moves in the field to get open but the DBs aren't letting them get loose.

Worst Performer of the Day.................................Tom Brady.....missed several open receivers on easy passes. Threw several passes over and several more short. Just a bad day which every QB has in every camp.

Hogan is particularly unsettling. Wth happened?

He said after practice he was fine. He had ice on his knee before practice ended. Did some interviews without any ice on it. If he had been really hurt, no way he would have been out there doing interviews..but you know that, LOL. The one that concerns me was JE11. He was seen limping after practice. I just hope it's not the same foot.

 

[CreepCreep2014]

As Ken said, Wise seems to be making his move. He has been getting all the reps with the 1st unit on DE. Shea has been having a good camp. He might be that Nink replacement. Wise and Rivers seem to be the last ones to leave the field after practice.

Rowe is having a great camp from what I read. He has been making plays all over the field. J.Jones has been getting the reps as the nickel and been making plays. Cy.Jones is also having a strong camp. He is looking more comfortable this yr. He has only dropped one punt and it was the 1st one he saw all camp. Looks like the battle between Coleman and Moore is going to be a good one, but not sure they both make it (Gill, MB, Rowe, Cy.Jones, J.Jones) does BB keep 6 CB?

Langi is having a strong camp. Been getting all his reps at OLB. I think that's a good place for him. He has a ton of speed, but can he cover the TE?

Hope these young WR take advantage of this time with the nagging injuries.....

I cant seem to find anything on any of this.

Read somewhere that JE11 got stepped on by Jones in the back of the endzone fighting for the ball. Nothing more to find on that.

 

[YankeeRebel]

One of my biggest concerns is Jimmy G, almost every daily report list his accuracy woes and the ints are in part poor decision makings. He for the most part is in a contract year back up or not, he better prove his value in camp if he is thinking any kind of contract movement. If not I suspect the tag, the first round pick, and maybe the Pats take a look at this QB class.

 

[nefansince75]

The team knows what they have in Garropolo. They would have shipped him while his stock was high if they had doubts. Especially since JB showed he is a capable backup.

I don't fully agree with you. The team has no idea how well Jimmy can handle a game or a season the sampling is too small. It's also not out of the realm of possibility that BB was trying to work the market get more then Jimmies actual value. Either way it's worth keeping an eye on.

This is funny, but not sure it's a good idea to keep down this path.

Pay back's a bitch....................

He still hasn't given a reason for Tom Brady's suspension last year......officially. He's allowed the media and the other 31 teams' fans to just call it themselves. I can't believe that he actually passed the BAR.

At this point he has done all he could against the team so it's the fans turn to speak up.
God I wish I had tickets for this one.

Trust me I don't feel bad for Goodell, and he IS a damn clown, everybody knows it.

I'd just prefer the whole organization and community move on, and get ready for the business of winning another Superbowl.

Any distractions or shenanigans aren't needed at this point.
