Notes on Patriots Pre Season Debut
--- So very sad to see Mr. Kraft alone in his box. Just heartbreaking. Gonna be a tough year, for him and his kids obviously, but for us fans of the team as well because everytime the cameras show that scene we'll be reminded of Myra's passing. They can dedicate the season to her, they can kick some serious ass, but they can't bring her back.
--- Brian Hoyer reminds me of a young man in his second year of medical school. Still broke, still renting a shitty apartment somewhere close to work, but man.... He's gonna strike it rich someday soon. It's not known where and when. It will most likely be somewhere other than Foxboro, but Hoyer looks like a future starter. What a testament to the coaching staff that, first Cassel, now Hoyer, have been turned into major assets. I think maybe Coach Belichick knows a little football.
--- The special teams were a shitshow. Total shitshow. What the hell happened? Don't give me any "we haven't had enough practice." The Jags had just as many practices as the Pats did, and they killed us on st. Big returns, a bad snap, penalties. Gostkowski and Mesko are awesome foot men, though. I have faith in them.
--- Watch out Green-Ellis, cuz there's a new back in town. Stevan Ridley looks like the next model in Coach Belichick's LSU/Bama/Florida production line. The kid was a beast last night. Running back is the spot where rookies can have the biggest impact because of the relatively simple nature of the position. Should be fun and Ridley has a chance to have a 1,300 yard year, or something like that.
--- Ryan Mallett missed a couple of throws. We know he has a rocket. But he looked really good in the second half. Did not like all the smiles and joking on the sidelines by him late. GAME FACE! The score doesn't matter, just do your job. Ryan: did you see the vets laughing it up when the game got out of hand? Game face.
--- Did you know that Coach Belichick is not even 60 years old? He was born 4/16/52. The man could coach this team another ten years without breaking a sweat. Can you see him looking like Coach Paterno someday, dottering around, getting injured every other year by some behemoth on the practice field? Funny image, I think. It could happen.
--- I love Vince Wilfork the football player. I'd give him a big 'ol hug if I could. The man is one of the greatest of all Patriots. He won't make Canton, but he will be in the Pats Hall of Fame, and be remembered by folks like me forever. What a great player and seems like he doesn't brook shit from his teammates. And he married well, apparently. Man, do I adore Vince Wilfork. We also have the same measurments: 6 1, about 315 or so. I'm sexier, though.
--- Guys who hurt themselves: Taylor Price had some big yardage, but he bobbled the TD pass. Gotta haul those in clean.
Patrick Chung clean dropped an interception. Darius Butler looked like he got beat like a fucking drum. His time is just about over. No shame in whiffing on a second rounder. Dane Fletcher looked good defensively early. Landon Cohen must be the only 300 pound Jewish guy the Pats have ever had on the D-Line. He had a sack. It's obvious that Lee Smith is going to make the team at tight end. Someone tell that punk from Connecticut Aaron Hernandez to get in the fucking weight room. You've got a chance to make some serious contract money next time up, but probably only if you gain twenty pounds, bro. You're way too skinny. Doesn't Florida have a weight room? You're fucking with your future by not lifting.
--- 85 is gonna be some kind of fun this year. What a lunatic: gonna live with a fan for two weeks. Love it. Can't stay here in The 'Pent, though. Too far from practice. And your Prius would be bad for our image. What a dorky car. At least get a black Camry or something with some style, dude. Prius' are weak ass cars. And don't pout if Brady doesn't throw 8 balls your way every week. No one is expecting Randy Moss 2007 numbers. Just 60-75 catches and a lot of first downs.
--- One skirmish down. Twenty two to go. It's a long season. GAME FACE!
