Wow, that game was November 13th. Is it more likely his knee or hip? Find it hard to believe a thigh bruise would linger for almost 2 months. Then again, he is tough, he played the Denver playoff game in 06 with a sports hernia.
I think any of the Patriots WRs make that block (though maybe not a knockout type block, Edelman always scores there). Hogan and Mitchell have been good blockers this year, and Amendola has always been good in that area, too.the highlight block of the season and the high point catch along the sidelines;
Edelman is a vicious blocker, he lights Lippett up there every time. Dola and Hogan probably do too. I agree with the general argument that Floyd's physical gifts are unique and important, but that block was more about awareness. You don't have to be huge to lay a guy out when he's not looking.I think any of the Patriots WRs make that block (though maybe not a knockout type block, Edelman always scores there).

I do think Floyd is a candidate to get playing time over Mitchell because he does have some physical gifts no one else has. Seems like he may get some of the red zone work that might otherwise have gone to Gronk. Would not surprise me to see Mitchell inactive if Amendola is healthy.
Yes, that is true. I thought about qualifying that comment, as I know that of the three plays I mentioned, that the block was most likely made by the others. That having been said, I would worry about Julian hurting himself while making such a block. As vicious of a blocker as he is, I don't recall him blowing up an opponent to that extent, ever, and I always worry Edelman's balls to the walls style of play hurting him, and that kind of play could do just that given his size.Edelman is a vicious blocker, he lights Lippett up there every time.

Chad Johnson, but still... This just brought back the memory I have of that game, following Johnson's catch (his only one, but for 21 yards!), where a buddy of mine, not a fan of either team, posted on Facebook "Wait...OchoCinco is on the Patriots now? WTF?"- that the Pats' THIRD WR for SB 36 was the immortal Charles Johnson, who was not good enough to be even regarded as a decoy during that game, makes this discussion all the more remarkable;
Um Chad Johnson was nowhere near the Pats when they beat the Rams.Chad Johnson, but still...

That about summed up that experiment.
The most PeterKingiest note of many a moon is in the MMQB this week. Let's see if you can find it
I assume northumb was referencing BernieRicoBoomer's video a couple posts up, but the one I think of is an Edelman block during a Gronk reception a couple years back. It was one of those amazing Gronk catches where he runs for about 25 yards after the catch. But part of it was Edelman blowing up a guy. I'll see if I can find it.Don't disagree generally, but in terms of him making a block like that, he nearly killed a guy on the Bills back in 09 or 10 I think. On phone so hard to link, but it's in his highlight reel for sure.
In 2001, it was Charles Johnson.Chad Johnson, but still... This just brought back the memory I have of that game, following Johnson's catch (his only one, but for 21 yards!), where a buddy of mine, not a fan of either team, posted on Facebook "Wait...OchoCinco is on the Patriots now? WTF?"

No, he's thinking 2011. Can't you guys keep your Johnson's straight.In 2001, it was Charles Johnson.

You're thinking about 2007.
Hey, some guys have a slight bend, okay?No, he's thinking 2011. Can't you guys keep your Johnson's straight.
I just lost a half hour to Gronk highlights. I miss that bastard.The next video after that is Gronk throwing Brown out of the club. So great
It's been talked about in the WR crunch thread, but as of right now Mitchell is listed as a limited participant in practice, where as Amendola was a full go. So I am guessing that Reiss is projecting mainly based on dressing the four healthiest guys.Is it just me or is it surprising to hear Mitchell sitting vs Amendola, he seems to be very similar to Edelman. Mitchell brings a different offensive threat to the offense with himself, Edelman, Hogan and Floyd out there. This game just seems ripe for Mitchell to have a huge impact in 3 WR sets, I get the duplication potentially with Hogan/Mitchell and Floyd but to me it just seems Mitchell is more valuable and Edelman will likely be fielding punts anyways...
I think is right so far. As for duplication, if the Mitchell/Floyd winner gets hurt mid-game, they could get by with the other 3WRS - Edleman, Amendola and Hogan. If Amendola sits, and Edelman gets hurt, they are screwed both in the slot and returning punts. So, to me, even assuming Mitchell is healthy, either he or Floyd sits.It's been talked about in the WR crunch thread, but as of right now Mitchell is listed as a limited participant in practice, where as Amendola was a full go.

I forgot that that was also the same play as the Jonas Gray nutpunch of the colts defender in the end zone. Also, what's up with the Colts mascot(?) holding up a Jimmy Fallon head to try to distract Ghost on the PAT at the end of that same clip.The next video after that is Gronk throwing Brown out of the club.

Maybe he had attended a game there and the mascot was trying to hang a banner to commemorate itI forgot that that was also the same play as the Jonas Gray nutpunch of the colts defender in the end zone.

FYI - BetOnline has NFL player props up today. You shouldn't need a login to view the odds.So sorry completely forgot that the lines are not yet released for player props. Last year we did projections and Wednesday was the day we put expected production out. Well... Saturday then I will be at home and ready to rumble. I'll take the under for Hopkins probably. Also the under for Miller... probably.
Reiss was just on WEEI, and acknowledged that he predicted Mitchell would be inactive due to health. He then doubled-down on his previously stated opinion that Matt Lengel may be the surprise inactive, and they'll go with 5 WR and use Cam Fleming as the 2nd Tight End.
Wait, was that Max Kellerman in there saying Brady was going to be a bum?
Yeah 20-30% annual turnaround seems to be the normWow look at the number of guys they added to their roster in just the past two seasons. There's a LOT of guys on this team (30) that weren't even around for their last SB championship. 30 out of 53 (56.7%). I would guess this kind of turnover is normal in the NFL?
