His shot looks exactly like mine. And I'm terrible.

My bet was on Beltre.

I wonder if the delta between college production and pro production, both up and down, for a player going to the Pats might be related to the emphasis BB puts on other aspects of the game? For example, and I'm just spitballing here, maybe Michel in college isn't asked to place much emphasis on...

That level of excellence on ST puts Bolden's roster spot the one most in jeopardy. If he could potentially fill the roles of Michel as backup lead back (is that an oxymoron) AND Bolden/Burkhead (as an RB who can play ST), then that is HUGE value from a 4th round pick.

Oh, c'mon, that level of dislike doesn't even make it into the Top-25 here on SOSH. Maybe not even Top-10 here in the Port Cellar.

I think I would have gotten it wrong. (Would have said “runs.” Do I need to turn in my SOSH membership?)

I would think they can dump Stidham to the PS without too much worry of losing him (or replacing him), in the event of injury hitting Jones or Cam

Looking at some of these 53-man rosters, I realize that there is almost certainly going to be a trade or a surprise cut in the DBs. There are 7 legit starting level vets, for what is 4-6 regular spots: Gilmore, JCJ, Jones, Mills, DMC, Phillips, and Dugger. Considering that DMC and Gilly tend...

I'm giving it a B+. The depth of their roster meant that they would want to reduce bites at the apple, which they did a bit. They seem to have avoided any of Bill's usual head-scratchers. They got a couple guys who had reported value above where they were picked, and seemed to avoid any major...

From what I've been reading lately (also currently reading Ian O'Connor's book Belichick), there are a lot of former Patriot players and employees who say pretty much the same thing.

We are having a practice tomorrow to do exactly that. It's only 8 of our 11 players, as the 3 who play travel ball are all playing a doubleheader for that team. Our main concern as coaches, more broadly speaking, is that it’s like we have two teams: one team that needs to learn how to...

I love the stories of him (in Halberstam’s Belichick bio, Education of a Coach) at Philips Andover being all geeked out when the son of Steve Belichick showed up on campus.

Update: We lost our game last night, 4-2. Their first run scored because our third baseman didn't tag out their kid stealing third even though our catcher gunned him out by about 10'. Their final run scored when our other catcher skipped a throw by the SS (probably a catchable play), but...

I too have been stymied. (And the second question was clearly meant tongue-in-cheek)

Reminds me of Derrick Henry, especially the stiff-arms.
