Interesting point made on radio.

I had to listen to part of the game on the radio and they brought up the fact that the Patriots have merged practices with the Redskins and some other team that I can't think of right now but the point was that they may be more poilshed due to the fact they are practicing against another NFL team and not themselves.

Lafell also said after he was signed by the Patriots that there training camp was much more strenious than Rivera's.

I think that it would have a tremendous effect on the team if they had merged practices since it would replicate game speed more so than playing against your own team. Just a thought.....

Or. . .it's preseason.

 

To be fair, Zod did tell us, and has said many times, that our practices have been fairly loose and relaxed lately, and even attributed that to the slow starts we've had in the past.

 

Also, I've wondered why we don't practice with another NFL team. Seems odd that a lot of other teams are doing (hell, even the Falcons did it with the Titans randomly and with the Texans a few days before their preseason game).

they did joint practices with/against the two teams they played this preseason before us. I like the idea and think we should look into it for the future. They were one of three teams to do joint practices twice this preseason (along with Falcons and Texans) and one of the 13 total NFL teams that did joint practices this preseason

here are articles arguing why such joint practices are a plus:

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
