The Official NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS OFFSEASON Thread

[criminalminded]

Finally found the channel pregame is on now.

 

[bostonthreeparty]

this dude 74 can't seem to get into a 3 point stance, just looks so awkward for him.

Good to see Cunningham w/ the sack.

 

[2o6]

hernandez's route running looking more polished.

 

[beansietime]

Looks like we are going to get a look at Ryan Mallett. Hoyer looked solid as a backup for Brady right now.
The D looked pretty good. Belichick with his usual useless interview at halftime

Mallet Throwing two straight passes to his twin Yeatman

2) chung and the safeties
3) taylor price
4) ryan mallet

1) 4 sacks. decent pressure at times. would have liked to see ellis and carter get some time. it's alright though.
2) not much to really judge them off. they gave up some plays, but in general, the jags weren't testing them too much. chung came up to stop the run nicely a couple times. dropped that bunny pick tho

3)

4) pretty good. he did better than i expected. loved his arm in college...and loved it tonight. throws it too hard sometimes...but as long as its hitting our guys, whatever.

the rest:
- edelman is going to have to make some plays. had a chance on our first possession but couldnt grab it. price might play him off the team to be honest.
- hernandez...two fumbles definitely a concern. especially cause he had some hands issues towards the end of last season. but he's getting open and making catches. good to see.
- steven ridley...wow. i like it. i love his second and third effort. he doesn't dance, it's one move and up the field. nice receiving TD too.
- hoyer. looks more than capable to back up brady. QB depth looks good.
- defense was clearly on point allowing no TDs. third down defense was good

of course, this is all preseason and it's basically 2nd/3rd string v 2nd/3rd string. eager to see what the starters do in tampa next week.


randy cross...is it actually possible for you to get any fatter? skip a meal for chrissake

 

[hymen man]

ryan mallett looks like a g

 

[2o6]

[Peep Game]

TJ hasnt been as good as advertised since his 07' year. 
darren can atleast mentor mccourtney,merriweather,dowling 

 

[DeadsetAce]

so TJ as a 4th option? i'd take it. taylor price hasn't practiced since the jags game, so something serious might be up.



sharper...agree with 2o6...if anything, he can transfer some knowledge to the younger guys

 

[DeadsetAce]

let's gooooo....


3-4 defense to start the game...

 

[criminalminded]

Game time i hope to see Brady and Ocho hook up

 

[bostonthreeparty]

think they had 4 down, but i wouldn't be surprised if they have 3 true d-lineman down, and have 4 LB's and have one of the outside LB's go into a 3 point stance.

 

[DeadsetAce]

LIGHT WORK on that first offensive drive.


woodhead scamper, brady to hernandez...easy TD

 

[criminalminded]

too easy

 

[DeadsetAce]

ochocinco's first TD as a pat

 

[bjm5295]

there is NO stopping andre carter right now.

 

[DeadsetAce]

piss poor two minute offense

 

[DeadsetAce]

mallet

 

[DeadsetAce]

ridley looks real good. would love to see him against some 1s from a big defense

 

[caerus]

Ridley might be getting most carries by midseason

btw, I think Mallet could start for 2-3 teams right now. If Clausen/Newton can, mallet def. can.

 

[bostonthreeparty]

Mayo had a nice game.

 

[DeadsetAce]

the bucs girls in those cheer uni's

pretty impressed with 1st team offense. the only snags really were when solder got beat, and regular season that's light. hernandez continues to get open and get balls chucked his way. good to get ocho a few catches and a TD. wes was wes. branch a little quiet, but it's impossible to get everyone the ball. on the ground, both woodhead and benny looked solid. brady was brady.

defense...front seven was the story tonight. first team was dominating. andre carter was relentless. you get ellis, haynesworth, and wilfork in there and oh man...he's gonna be all over guys. mayo all over the place. moore and love all with solid pressure. anderson in there a couple times.

woodhead just took a blindsided helmet to helmet SHOT from some scrub on the bucs. dude must feel good wiping out a 5'6" dude with the way he celebrated it...savor the moment for 4 weeks from now when you're digging ditches or stocking shelves. hope you have $20K to spare
