Teddy Bridgewater mic'd up during practice

 

 

Thoughts:

 

- There will be inevitable comparisons to Cam here with the dancing and joking during practice. However, this is how Teddy has always been. I remember his clips like this from his rookie year. This isn't forced or contrived. 

- Everyone loves Teddy. I have yet to hear anything other than a glowing review from anyone that has interacted with Teddy. The guy is a people person. 

- Looks like Teddy stays after not to just work on his throws but also his footwork (footwork that looks really good)

- Will Grier makes the nicest catch in the video

 

Really excited to see how all this translates to actual football games.

I keep seeing one of the knocks on Teddy being that he isn't going to elevate the offense like Cam did, and they're right: He elevates it in his own way.

Teddy is incredibly efficient with getting the ball into his playmakers' hands. He doesn't have to be the offense like Cam was, he can be a part of the offense like most QBs are. Teddy can get the ball to CMC, to DJ, to Samuel, to Anderson, to Thomas.

Gonna be the first time since before Bledsoe that I've been ok with the Patriots winning now that Cam is there, but I can't wait to see how the offense looks with all of our players. Hopefully the OL can hold it together (and we retain Moton!).

Teddy looks off receivers really good. Noticed on a couple of throws he's looking at one receiver and throws to someone else (crossing). That will keep defenses second guessing. Cam had such a rocket arm he could still slip it in there but thats' what Tom Brady does really good was looking guys off.

Good call. Noticed that as well.

Loved it. Also, I think DJ has been challenged on his temperament quite a bit lol seems like everybody wants him to be a dog and on camera he seems to smile it off. 
 

I saw multiple clips of Cam talking to DJ about it pregame..Teddy “I want you to be nasty”. Even Smitty when he was asking him if he should play him on fantasy and he was just standing there awkward with a awkward smile was a testament. 

Dj plays physical, I’ll take it. Temperament of very few at the WR position (Julio top of mind).

He has fully converted me into a fan. I was disappointed with the signing originally, but the more I find out about Teddy and the more videos I watch, the more I like him. I hope he has a great season. If we could get our secondary figured out I think we have some potential to hang around an surprise a few teams this year.

      Cam ward is a starting qb. Which is it?

      Comparing a random stat to another rookie QB has nothing to do with the current subject.  Tom Brady had a 6.0 YPA his rookie year.  I hope you're not using one stat to define success of a QB? It's not a problem to want him to do better based on where he was drafted although I still contend it doesn't matter after the fact.  It doesn't matter if we're talking about Cam Newton, Tom Brady, Russel Wilson or any other QB.  It makes little difference once you're in the NFL.  Nobody gets a ring for where they were drafted.   Higher draft picks will get a little more time in most cases as teams want to make sure they've exhausted all avenues before they admit a draft pick can't play.  Other teams might pick them up thinking it wasn't the player but the organization and/or other coaches that caused the player not to succeed.  It's people's expectations that are wrong.  If we could go back and redo all the draft and put guys in the correct draft spot based on how well they played in the NFL, that would be nice.  Then your argument would make some sense.  People assume that where a player was drafted is a statement on how good that player is when the reality is there is a lot more luck than skill in drafting. If Coker turns into a pro bowl receiver and XL becomes a bust nobody cares except fans and the media. What we really should say is it's not too much to expect a player who has started at QB for a team over the last 2 years to be better than he currently shows.   Don't compare 1st round picks.  Compare starting QB's in the NFL.

      Defense is turning around?

      By electro's horse · Posted

      They’re gonna have to go up against a real offense before any kind of judgement can be made of them.  Tlaw looks like damaged goods, Kyler is completely washed, and Penix….well…. they look better compared to last season but that’s what you’d expect with a healthy brown and horn.  I haven’t seen anything that indicates they’ll be considered an overall good defense when the dust has settled. 2002 it is not.
