Yeah I agree with the Bungles - they are looking real nice right now and are build for the future. G Bernard is going to be huge for them this year even as a rook. I think he could be very much in the ROY conversation at the end of the year.
Carolina is looking good in the front 7 too.
Times a certainly changing in the NFL.
About Jones, I think the added weight was because his upper body was so disproportionate to his legs. That was another point of his upside was that he could still add mass to his frame. You could be right, he could be a undersized 3-4. I dont think thats such a bad thing considering what JJ Watt is doing at the position. 20 sacks from the position is crazy.

Duds I dig what it saying about CJ as a number one passrusher but kicking him inside and playing towards his strength could make him just as effective as a clay Mathews. The fastest way to the qb is still straight ahead and CJ playing inside is that much closer.
My guess is he is a technician with long limbs, motor, good enough athleticism who will need hand fighting to succeed anyway so why not make that part of his game and not try to be this speed rusher wasting time flanked all the way at DE when he can punish guards instead of LT's.
Buchanan has the potential to be a good player, his injury stunted his development but once healthy he should contribute.
As good as Torrey Smith is now, he did ok his rookie season so I expect our rookie wr's to be star strucked and look like rookies the majority of the time. I think they will flash but come poseason it's all on the vets. Edelman, gronk, Ballard, amendola NEED to be playing in Jan. still I don't see the deep threat guy w/ this lineup unless Dobson &Boyce gets those unexpected bombs. We have big targets for Redzone but our smaller receivers will pay the price for catching the ball unless DA and JE can take a short pass to the house.
Overall the O should be good in the redzone, it's the defense that needs to survive on its own, set the tone and start challenging elite qb's. who will be that vet pass catcher to emerge as a beast in poseason? Do we have him, can first year guy have the balls to take over, where does Tebow fit and will BB take rookies w/ down the road potential over a vet that plateau but can win games the first month?
Like I said BB has a mixture of future and past on this team, it will come down to win right now or down the road. What would you do?

Von Miller suspended for 4 games.... big surprise, Denver also having a tough offseason. Their going to be opposite of us going into the year, IMO, our D will be solid and building off last year while our O is catching up and facing question marks. Denver's D is in shambles compared to last year IMO, but their O is the going to be better. The running game may not be as good (a lot falls on Monte Ball's hands, as well as Hillman) but they added Welker (who in theory plays into the run game at times with his elite underneath cuts that are guaranteed 3-5 yards or more, epsecially when he is facing a Ds nickleback) to an already stack receiving arsenal for Manning
Hoping the Broncos dont go out and make a play for Abraham now with this news, you figure hes gotta catch on somewhere soon, right?

wow
Eric Wright failed physical with 9ers, trade nullified and he returns to TB, who in turn will release him to free agency.....
He has some off field baggage from what i have heard, but he could be a starting caliber CB and given recent news he is assured to come cheap to who wants him.
I would take a look, IMO he would have every chance Dowling does to win the top outside CB role after 31 and 37 (potentially a starting CB depending on 37 ruling next week and possibly a release) and i dont believe he has injury history that Dowling does (but may bring some off field concerns with him, but not sure about that)
if he checks out off field and isnt a scumbag (dont no much about him other than his ability) and BB is comfortable after talking with Schiano, IMO you must give him a roster spot to compete for a depth CB role.... remember, Talib was traded because they were comfortable with Wright. they then drafted Banks and got Revis, making him odd man out. Worth a shot

Worth a shot I like the move but I don't want to see Dennard leave...besides the busted play vs niners, completions involves controversy or difficulty vs Dennard.. He also has a knack for force fumbles when tackling. I think Dennard is real valuable and looked good vs Decker & manning. Plz BB keep him!

I agree md about Bernard. He's been one of my favorites since his redshirt freshman year in 2011. I think he'd run away with the OROY title if BJGE wouldn't steal half the yards and a lot of the TDs but he'll be a game changer when he's on the field.
Good point about Carolina's front 7. Damn two young double digit sack DEs, just drafted Star and Short at DT and a sick LB group with Kuechly, Beason and T. Davis. Too bad they have a bunch of no name DBs.
Yeah you can't expect 1,200 yards from Dobson. I'd be very pleased with 700-6 from him. We definitely need DA, JE, Gronk, Ballard, Edelman and Vereen to lead the way and stay healthy then maybe Dobson can see some single coverage early on to get rolling.
Yes Jones needs to be inside so when he wins the hand battles, he'll already be right in the QBs face. It's obviously harder to get sacks inside because you can get blocked from both sides but I'm expecting 8-10 sacks.
I wouldn't mind seeing Wright come in for a look, it would take a trade though unless TB cuts him. He signed a 5 yr/ $35M deal last offseason so we better not trade for him. I think Sheldon Brown, T.McGee and N.Clements are still out there. I think our biggest concern right now has to be if Dennard goes to jail and if Dowling get hurts, we're screwed. Talib, Ryan, Arrington and Cole would be a shaky group. Bring in a vet at least for TC since we have the roster space for insurance to see if Dowling can survive camp and make sure Dennard isn't locked up.

Agree 100%. Do not want to see Dennard go anywhere, but would look at Wright if the think Dennard will be off the field for any time this year (jail time/suspension)

We are trying out Laurent Robinson tomorrow. I understand a vet WR wouldn't hurt but I really want the four rookie WRs to get all the reps they possibly can. I'm kinda hoping we don't sign him.

Word on the street Josh Boyce could be the best wr on the Pats in a couple of years. He is quick and fast, gets out breaks quickly ( best value is slot but isn't limited and can play out wide) . At 5'11 205 not too many wr's built like that in the league,thick upperbody and legs, should get those big gains after the catch type guy.
Word on the street Buchanan gets into accident over summer b4 senior season, had jaw wired shut, on liquid diet and lost 20 pounds, prior to the accident he outshined Mercilus (DE drafted by Texans).
I could see them redshirt this kid just to see what Bequette, Francis, Nink and others performing but if he earns a spot with all the depth infront of him i think he is going to be a menace in the near future!
Some scouts believed Steve B had the best instincts playing linebacker.

Boyce should be a very solid WR. He seems to have it all besides a 6'4" frame. He has the speed, strength, route running, hands, can play the slot, the outside and go deep. Obviously not the upside of Dobson but could be a really good WR. It all comes down to whether he can build a connection with Brady. With his build, maybe he can be a shorter Anquan Boldin.
That's the tough thing ofor, if we want to redshirt Buchanan, who gets cut so he can sit on the bench and learn for a year? Or if we try to PS him, does he make it there without getting claimed by another team? Unfortunately I think we lose one or a few decent DEs like Buchanan, Vega, Cunningham and Bernard.
Mark Anderson gets cut by Buf one year after signing a 4 yr/ $19.5M contract. I called that one, he definitely isn't an elite, consistent pass rusher. I'd give a slightly above average pass rusher at best, averaging about 1 sack every 3 games for his career. He had a career year that year here and even though he got 10 sacks, he was still very inconsistent. Like a lot of pass rushers here in NE, Brady gives us a big lead and opposing offenses go all out passing for the last 2-3 quarters, giving our pass rushers 40-50 chances per game. One good play and 49 plays where you don't show up isn't a consistent pass rusher. I'm dying for a player that will give us 2-3 pressures/QB hits per game and get in the QBs head. Then it'll be a trickle down effect on the rest of the pass rushers, to the coverage LBs and to the DBs.

I said it from the begining. I expected Boyce to be the better rookie this year, provided he was healthy by camp. Dobson will likely get more TDs, but I think Boyce provides some AH type ball skills especially the run after the catch.
Im excited for this year, two weeks ago I though "this wont be our year to win it all but it will be a solid 11-5/12-4 year where we win a playoff game or two and get to the big game next season.....
I have completely changed my opinion on that. Hernandez was a very good player, could have been great, but he wasnt durable and clearly wasnt committed. this team is driven by the offseason, they have the biggest chip on their proverbial shoulders since 2007. This team is going to the AFC Chamionchip game at the very least, i cant wait to see TB12 tear up Denvers D and our D proves to be, (get ready for this hot take) THE SECOND BEST PLAYOFF DEFENSE IN THE AFC (behind Cincy). they may not have the stats, but everyone will know by years end that they days of a mediocre/bad NE D is gone. This is a top 10 D overall at the very least right now. They can get up into the top 5 by some good fortune with health

I think Denver, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Houston, and Indy are all possible AFC final two standing teams. I'll be shocked if NE is not AFC East champs, but I'll be mildly surprise if NE wins a bye week. In the AFC East I expect NE to get beat at least once, and there are several games I could see them loosing. There are too, too, many question to be answerd in the passing game and on the D side to put us one win from the SB before camp has even started.

In the AFC East I expect NE to get beat at least once, and there are several games I could see them loosing. There are too, too, many question to be answerd in the passing game and on the D side to put us one win from the SB before camp has even started. Well that is my opinion, and why is that? Because EVERY AFC team has questions. Denver- Arguably the most overrated D going into the season. No S, No ILB, No DT. and now the pass rush is dramatically worse than last year. Von Miller suspended for PEDs, if he is smart he will stop using them, but will tha affect his play? it should if he acutally took them and makes him more injury prone. Shaun Phillips to replace Dumervil? hahahahahaha. Cool they signed a few CBs, they will have a decent secondary with a very weak front 7 other than Miller, who to be honest, has never done anything against NE. Dominated by out stud OTs. Brady TORE UP that D last year and the year before TWO TIMES. LOOK AT THE TEBOW PLAYOFF GAME. 45 points??? that D was way better than the one they are rostering this year, grnted they now have a top 4 QB and more dangerous weapons but Brady can dominate that D. Houston- is this a joke? we embarrassed them on MNF (no Gronk) and showed we were by far a better team without Gronk in the playoffs. They have improved a bit, but not much. Is Matt Schaub someone who you think will win your a big game? wouldnt count on it. Houston benefits from a poor division and is not as good as us. Indy- hahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahah. that is all. Baltimore- they will be better and I think they will be the after denver they will be the best non NE AFC team. But I still think they wont win that division. they make the playoffs as the 5 seed, 10-6 record. beatable. Cincy- a wildcard, i tihnk they have the best D in the conference as I said before. But can Dalton really out duel Brady? we will see. This will be a very good team, but i still think were better if healthy IMO the race for the #2 seed is on between NE Cincy and Houston, ultimately I think one of those teams gets it, but NE will be 3rd or 4th. either way as of right now I can only see NE losing to Denver, Cincy, or Balt in the playoffs. No one else at all. and those 3 teams are VERY beatable IMO. I think we go to the AFC championship again, assuming we stay healthy, and if the wrs find a way to get rolling, this team will make a bid to play Seattle in the SB.

AFC predictions: 1. Denver- 13-3 2. New England- 12-4 3. Cincy- 11-5 4. Houston- 11-5 5. Balt.- 10-6 6. Cheifs or Dolphins- 9-7
AFC championship game in NE at Denver. no prediction of that game for now as it is way to early, but am very confident in this team right now. The winner of that game will face (and IMO likely lose to Seattle) but there is way to much time before you can figure out exactly what teams are destined for a championship. IMO it is never to early to say who those finals few teams will be

Now, put this way I have fewer issues with you enthusiasm. Still, I want to see some performance that answer the WR and D rush questions before I jump on board. NE could be the AFC rep at the SB, or they get beat wild card weekend. We all need to wait a few weeks to see what develops. Indy though is an interesting team with Luck. He could get hot for a couple of games and sneak in to the AFC championship game. I feel that Cincy wins that division. Denver's offense is going to roll, but their defense could kill them. Miller being out could cost then a bye week.

NE plays Atlanta, Cincinnati, and New Orleans games 4, 5, and 6. They play Carolina, Denver, Houston,and Baltimore after the bye week. Then there is Miami who may, just might, sneak out a win in one of their two games with NE. That makes 9 games that concern me.
I think they will be hard pressed to have just four lost games this year.

Idk cass, I have to disagree about Denver's D. Yes they lost Dumervil but they loaded up on D this offseason. They have Wolfe, Sly Williams, Knighton, V.Miller, Phillips, Woodyard in the front 7 and Champ, DRC at CB and Jammer and Moore at S. Wolfe is ready to be a superstar, Miller will still be very good when he comes back and Woodyard (117 tackles, 5.5 sacks and 3 Ints at MLB) is becoming a solid LB, that's why they let DJ Williams go.
I don't know why you knock Phillips, he's played on a D all by himself for years now and still been a good, not great, pass rusher. I'd take him over John Abraham on consistency with pressure. He's killed us for years whenever we played SD. Their front 7 should be improved because of Knighton and Williams. Williams is going to be a good one and Knighton was on his way to be a top 5-10 DT in the league before a few injuries. If he gets back on track their D could be scary. Who cares if Miller misses 4 games, it's like Gronk, it's not a big deal as long as they are there for January and February.
I'm really optimistic about the potential we have on D but Den has a proven D, they did it last year and they'll do it again this year. Compared to our D which is always about "if this works out right, we'll be good." I'd take a proven D over that but i am optimistic for our D. Den will be top 5-8 D in the NFL again. I hate Denver so I'm not trying to be their spokesperson, but they are no walk in the park to face. NE, Den, Bal, Cin, Ind and Hou should all be right around 11-13 wins, what happens in January no one knows. If I had to guess how the seeds will fall, I'd go with this order: Den, NE, Cin, Hou, Bal and Ind.

I can't predict a record but I hope they make the poseason on a high note like all the Super Bowl winning teams. The AfC E other teams look decent enough to split games w/ us given the timing and how gel as a team we are.
I see a dog fight this season. Some hard battles, tough losses and celebrated wins. Brady has a new cast of players and who knows, maybe the D will reclaim what the hoody is known for. A defendive genious.
I'm taking a one game at a time approach and not ruling any team off as weaker yet.
Ridley or Vereen need to emerge as close to dominant or elite at what they do players so opponents have something other than Brady to plan for. A wr must follow the same lead and be a go to guy by years end.
Just looking at the last few SB winners and they all seem to have big play receivers..Holmes, Bolden, Jordy Nelson, GJwennings, Cruz, Nicks, Colston that SB year. Etc...

NFL AM on the Network is reporting on the Pats and showing Amendola from OTAs. I know someone mentioned him being younger, faster and more versatile than Welker the other day but damn, just watching him run routes, he is so much faster and quicker than Welker. I was leading the bandwagon all offseason to let Welker go and get Amendola or even someone else. If DA can stay healthy, this will be one of the best moves in NE history! Welker is quick in and out of his breaks, DA is even quicker. DA is faster running straight lines, so he won't be getting chased down from behind by 300 lbs DTs like Welker always did. Welker would get his yac only because of the separation he created juking guys in and out of his breaks withon 5 yards of the LOS. He didnt make guys miss after catching the ball, he usually got chased down very easily. DA is going to be double covered early on I bet with Gronk out and Dobson and Boyce still learning the ropes but once we get rolling, DA will be getting some serious yac with his speed and quickness. In Stl, he was their only WR so defenses were focused on him. Dobson and Boyce's growth this preseason is huge! Once again health is the key but this kid is going to make fans say "Welker who??" by week 1 or 2. If he plays 15-16 games, with Gronk out and the rookie WRs getting acclimated, I'm predicting 120-1,450-8.

I don't think they are going great team, but they have become competitive. They should have 9 wins and the second best record in the AFC East. Of the 6 games NE has with their Division Miami could, maybe, give them one defeat.

Hey Duds!
No comment on you new board status? <g>
I get to set these message status limits, and I can create lots of them. You status is for 60 messages. Have any thoughts about the next level?
BTW, where is Pan?

I think Mia moved J.Martin from RT to LT. I love Jordan but I think he's going to struggle for most of the season because of his lack of size and strength. He's going to get pushed around a lot. Maybe we'll see like we did from Aldon Smith, struggles for the first 12 games or so then see him come on.
Haha what fg, you haven't moved on from Welker yet? He's not coming back so we gotta embrace DA. It was the right move.
Yes I think Mia will win between 8-10 games but misses the playoffs. Going out in one off season and trying to buy a championship rarely ever works that first season, just ask the 2012 Eagles or the 2013 Toronto Blue Jays.

Every site I visit they are all convinced Nink is a starter. I like the kid but I think he is overrated. He does have his moments true but he will never dominate or be a blue chip player. IMO he is a good 3/4 olb backup.
Not in love w/ his measurables, first step or strength. Banta Cain 2.0 ...good thing we have ultra athletic DE like Collins and Buchanan who should take the position to the next level.
Think about how good our passrush will be if somebody actually takes it from Nink. If that doesn't happen I might lower my expectations a bit. Same as ifCollins & Steve B aren't one of the better coverage backers. A healthy Dowling should outshine Talib... These are the story lines I'm looking forward in hearing if this D wants to reach the next level.

If Welker was not an elite #1, which I still argue he was, then he certainly was the elite of the elite slot receivers. Long term it might have been a good move to get DA, and you always have to weight long v short term in roster building, but in the short term, for this year, I still would have preferred Welker and blame his agent, and the Pats to a lesser degree, for him leaving basically for peanuts. How would it have looked to have both DA and WW? I bet if the Hernandez thing already had happened we could have seen that. I agree with your on field analysis that the growth of the rookies and developing TE threats, don't forget Ballard who I think Cass has as a break out player, will help DA and the team.

I fully expect a sophomore slump. I don't see this guy at the level of Luck, Griffin, Wilson, Kaepernick or Newton and even Newton had a 2nd year slump to a degree.

I think Mia moved J.Martin from RT to LT. I love Jordan but I think he's going to struggle for most of the season because of his lack of size and strength. He's going to get pushed around a lot. Maybe we'll see like we did from Aldon Smith, struggles for the first 12 games or so then see him come on. Haha what fg, you haven't moved on from Welker yet? He's not coming back so we gotta embrace DA. It was the right move. Yes I think Mia will win between 8-10 games but misses the playoffs. Going out in one off season and trying to buy a championship rarely ever works that first season, just ask the 2012 Eagles or the 2013 Toronto Blue Jays. and the Boston Red Sox from 1970 to the present other than this year and 04 and 07.

Anybody want to make predictions on who has a better year Welker or Amendola?
I say Amendola.
