So the Patriots convinced offensive line god Dante Scarrnecchia to come back after a two year hiatus in which the Patriots OL fell to pieces. He gave his introductory interview, and boy does he sound... tired quote:“It is a tough decision. You get pretty used to a very nice lifestyle. I’m going to tell you, I like retiring now. Retirement was great. It was a lot of fun. We saw things we hadn’t seen ever, took trips, and spent a lot of time with our grandkids. All that was great. To a degree, it’s very, very, hard to give up,” he said. Please just last until Brady retires Dante.

Yeah, in OTA's some UDFA's are making a name for themselves and getting some 3rd/4th year special teams players put on thin ice. Beyond that, the worst of your teams' starting spots have some modest competition going, but for the most part, the stuff happening now is just seeing who's going to be the first names X'ed out when they have to cut from 90 to 75. Also someone probably tore their ACL, because life is pain.

NC-17 posted:Yeah, that's true I guess about the guys on the rear end end of the roster being on thin ice. Oh of course. But hey man, beatwriters gotta write something... actually hell, I think Kevin Clark just wrote something about this: https://theringer.com/nfl-minicamps-offseason-news-cycle-smart-fans-857f4a78f554#.koq1egn19 quote:Consider this: In May 2013, center Mike Pouncey said he’d noticed Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill getting more vocal, going so far as to call Tannehill the “commander-in-chief” in the huddle. That assessment proved premature, but in June 2014, a teammate again praised Tannehill’s growth. “He’s more of a leader now,” said then-teammate Marcus Thigpen. “He’s more vocal. He was a little quiet last year. But this year he steps up a lot the way he talks to the players and coaches. He’s taking a lead role now.” Thigpen also wound up being ahead of schedule, but in June 2015, it appeared that Tannehill’s leadership was finally, really, truly ready to break through. “[He’s] kind of taking the team on his shoulders and knowing that, hey, we’ve got to come out here every day and put something great together,” teammate Kenny Stills said. Was he right? Well, this month, Pouncey once again found himself talking about Tannehill’s leadership. “I think he’s been a lot more vocal this year as a leader,” Pouncey said. Sensing a trend here, offseason news consumers?

Grittybeard posted:You don't use the #3 overall pick of the draft to fill 3 years unless maaaaaaybe you're a Super Bowl contender who got that pick out of a trade. Even then, keep in mind, he has to be bad enough to flat out cut, as in not good enough merit a roster spot as a backup, in the fourth year for this to matter at all. Yeah, a bust-y first round draft pick tends to just not get their 5th year option picked up. You have to be incredibly bad to not at least play out your 4th year.

Actually, let's look at this We'll look at top 10 picks only since there's a point pretty early on where the money becomes pretty irrelevant. 2012: 2 - RG3 3 - Trent Richardson 2011: 10 - Blaine Gabbert 2010: 8 - Rolando McClain 2009: 2 - Jason Smith So I guess like one a year on average flames out bad enough to not hit year 4? 2013 Could conceivably add Dion Jordan considering he lost a year to suspension

Benne posted:Connor Cook is one of those guys the college football media hypes up to godly levels and then you sit down to actually watch a Michigan State game and you're like "he's okay but I don't see the big deal" and then he graduates and actually lasts a few years in the NFL because some poor sucker wasted a fourth-round pick on him so he rots away as an anonymous third-stringer before disappearing from the face of the earth. The best is when those guys go to a good team and then they get multiple chances even when they're meth faced stone footed bums who can't read a defense. And their fans think they can get draft picks for him.

So with Edelman, Amendola and Hogan and Slater locks, there's at most 2 spots depending on how many TE's they keep, so please Nate Washington, please have something left in the tank and be able to get within the same zipcode as Brady.

It's weird, because it's not like Hackenberg is getting reps right now. They aren't going to play him this year, Fitz has to get re-acquanted with the offense, Geno Smith still theoretically could develop into something at some point and is the clear backup, and they need to figure out if they're going to keep Bryce Petty on the roster, so when's Hackenberg even getting a chance to suck rear end?

Edelman is really good, so it'll suck if he's injured for any length of time. He just came off the pup, so he hopefully just reaggravated something.

And yeah, Ric Flair's life is really depressing, there's a really good Grantland article from a few years back I'd recommend: http://grantland.com/features/the-wrestler-real-life/ The first line is: "Ric Flair has been physically attacked by at least three of his four wives."

MY NIGGA D-LINK posted:Was Jerry Olsavsky ever a Patriot? If so, him and Vrabel were originally drafted by the Steelers. Which means when Tyler Matakevich is inevitably released, he's the heir to Ninkovich. Nah, he went to I think the LeBeau Steelers then spent a year in Baltimore once he left Pittsburgh. But yeah, the Steelers used to be one of like 3 teams running the 3-4, so when Belichick implemented it he was all over your castoffs and practice squad with his hobo cart.

I gotta say that the Nate Ebner thing has been pretty cool. https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/763081729485729792 Also, thank god Edelman's okay, and that really sucks for Ragland.

Normally Belichick makes like a dozen transactions a week as he churns the bottom of the roster, and so far in all of camp, he's cut one guy total because Nate Ebner is back from the olympics.

Feel I should mention that 2011 was also pretty much when TFF was at its lowest against top drafted QB's. They cost a billion dollars and had been mostly underperforming for a long while: Like, going into the 2011 draft you were staring at: 2010: 1-1 Sam Bradford 2009: 1-1 Matthew Stafford 2009: 1-5 Mark Sanchez 2008: 1-3 Matt Ryan 2007: 1-1 JaMarcus Russell 2006: 1-3 Vince Young 2005: 1-1 Alex Smith Matt Ryan was good at the time, and people though Stafford could really be something, but gently caress man, this was a dire time for lovely teams to be grabbing QB's sucking and getting stuck.
