What do you think about reserve G Michael Bamiro? He's got huge potential IMO. 6'7" and over 360 lbs but can move very well. Was a practice squad guy last year but got over $250,000 to sign.LondonSox said:With the Eagles coming to town I'm going to engage this thread, so if you guys want to chat or have any questions/ thoughts around Eagles players I'm very happy to discuss etc.
I'll be very interested to see how the newer defensive backs do, Jenkins (has looked great in camp), Corroll (likewise) and Boykin who if you don't know him is the best slot corner in the league for me (and maybe best gunner too).
I'll be interested to see how Matthews does, he's been the talk of camp so far but wasn't so great in pre season game 1.
I'll be interested to see who can generate a rush if anyone (I think Curry is a monster but bad scheme fit and only plays passing downs).
Sanchez (!) has looked good in camp and appears to be locking down the back up QB spot.
Chip and Bill the bromance resumes.
I hope the Pats players and coaches do their best to utterly ignore this guy.soxfan121 said:Skrub is sad that LondonSox didn't start a new thread.
The only question I have about these joint practices is how long it will take Cary Williams to start a fight and get sent home. Again.
It would be hilarious if the Patriots had someone follow him around the entire time with a fake plastic camera.TheoShmeo said:I hope the Pats players and coaches do their best to utterly ignore this guy.

Aaron Dobson and Dominique Easley are in full pads. Both returned to practice yesterday.

Looking forward to some reports on how they look.
Jungleland said:Absolutely bonkers amount of people here today. Blows the saints and bucs joint practices out of the water.
This indicates that the coaches like what he's doing and are willing to see what he can do against opposition's 1's.
A somewhat under reported storyline in camp (at least until recently) has been Amendola's rapport with Brady and performance in practice.Jungleland said:Amendola absolutely roasting the eagles in that drill.

Was the Amendola we saw in 2013 training camp and Week 1 vs. Buffalo just limited by injury?

Health is the one thing that has held DA back from being a big-time WR.mpx42 said:
The Amendola we saw up until the end of the Buffalo game was phenomenal. He was never the same after that - couldn't cut right or run his routes like he wanted to. I think a lot of fans simply decided that "he wasn't that good," which really isn't the case. He could be a bit like the rookies in that assuming he's on the field he'll look a lot better his second year in the system then the first.
Amendola looked great in camp in 2103. I think Simms reported that he was telling the rookies, "if you don't get it right, I'm just going to throw it to Danny." It was only after his injury that Brady put the rest of the wheels on an Edelman binkywagon.dynomite said:A somewhat under reported storyline in camp (at least until recently) has been Amendola's rapport with Brady and performance in practice.

Yeah he was probably the MVP of that Buffalo game. Absolutely monster catch on 3rd down on the game winning drive and gutted through injury to do it.tims4wins said:Seriously, go watch highlights from week 1 vs. Buffalo last year. He was outstanding.
And this may be forgotten, but he was pretty big in the playoff game vs Indy too - only 3 catches but for 77.

After completing the ice bucket challenge, Pats owner Robert Kraft challenged the Jets, Fins and Bills.
RedOctober3829 said:Worthy, a second-round pick in 2012, enters his third season, but after a second year that was essentially a washout. Rehab from a knee injury suffered in Week 17 of 2012 limited Worthy to a pair of cameo appearances last season, and he sat out all of OTAs and minicamp this spring as well. He has catching up to do and rust to knock off.

Not sure what to make of this. Why acquire somebody who isn't healthy when you have so many other question marks? Easley, Siliga, and Jones all have injury issues and Worthy only adds to the list.

wutang112878 said:I'm trying to project the Eagles offense this year and would love to hear your thoughts.
On positive side, they seemed to get better as the year went on last year and they handed the job over to Foles. However, now all opposing coaches have had an off-season to digest and plan for Kelly's offense, they lost their best receiver in Jackson and there is just no way that Foles can have that TD to INT rate again. My take is that Kelly is a good coach and will keep the team above average on offense, but I just dont see how they could be a top 5 team in scoring again this year.

Officially concerned. He hasn't been hurt yet this camp so not sure what's going on.
@Jeff_McLane Jeremy Maclin continues to toast Darrelle Revis in 1-on-1s. Looked right at us as if to say, "You reporters catch that?"

Should point out: I am not under the impression that Darrelle Revis is giving anywhere near 100 pct in these drills. Has little to prove.
RedOctober3829 said:Maclin is coming off the ACL injury. Maybe he's taking a certain number of reps considering the crappy weather.

I was at practice on Monday and he was a full participant. At end of practice he and some other players were playing around with their kids. He looked completely fine on Monday.SeoulSoxFan said:

Schefter tweeted that he's still not cleared for contact,no preseason play but likely for week1.TheoShmeo said:Bedard tweeted today at 11:04 AM that week one might be stretch for Gronk based on yesterday...noticeably favoring the knee, limping as he ran.
I haven't seen anything else that specific or negative on Gronk during training camp and hope he's overreacting or misreading the tea leaves.
I would have to believe that if Gronk was limping at all in the pre-camp workouts, he would have been on the PUP to start camp. That didn't happen, and this is Bedard, so I'm taking it with a grain of salt right now. Could just be soreness and stiffness.TheoShmeo said:Bedard tweeted today at 11:04 AM that week one might be stretch for Gronk based on yesterday...noticeably favoring the knee, limping as he ran.
