disgusted and pissed
Could also be somewhat a function of what they are working on at the time.

HEADLINES
- There were three NFL officials on the field for the first time.
- Patriots did their annual soaking of the rookies with a firehose. Included were new staff members Joe Judge and Steve Belichick, among others.
- Brandon Spikes was missing from practice. As a result, Dont'a Hightower moved to the middle and was backed up by Mike Rivera, with Dane Fletcher not participating in team drills.
- Ryan Wendell was back with the first team at center. Because of injuries at tackle, Nick McDonald had to play left tackle with the second team. Don't think he's ever done that before, even when he was with the Packers.
- CB Ras-I Dowling is starting to stack success. Had a nice break on the ball to break up a pass. That followed an interception on Sunday.
I think that's as much a function of the writer as it is Mallett being way up or way down. Try to stick with what 1 or 2 writers have to say about him. Inconsistency is a hallmark of a young pup and he deserves some time to develop until he shows he isn't developing.
One thing I know with 100% certainty. Mallet is nowhere close to Hoyer in the smarts department.
Because Mallett transferred from Michigan, whereas Hoyer left Ohio to move to Michigan. #Boom #AllTimeBackfires
http://www.boston.com/sports/footba...tml?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitterPatriots quarterbacks Tom Brady and Brian Hoyer spent considerable time after practice working on mechanics with former Major League Baseball pitcher and coach Tom House. Brady began training with House, who has also worked with several other NFL quarterbacks, including Drew Brees, Alex Smith and Carson Palmer, this offseason after his longtime guru Tom Martinez passed away.
Brady and the Patriots' passing offense have been a little off the past few practices. When Brady went through a similar lull during last year's camp, Martinez paid a visit and then Brady was stellar.
Brady and House seemed to be working on keeping the torso from getting too far out in front of his feet.

Don't kid yourself. Hoyer developed his brain at St. Ignatius. I know you ( you're the only one here) know all about Ignatius
The brain that told him Michigan State was a good school?
We didn't recruit him. We did get his Ignatius teammate Anthony Gonzalez. His NFL career wasn't much but he sure was a michigan killer.
Keep hearing about Ras-I making plays, but have not heard anything about McCourty.
I don't think he will be, so hopefully TB doesn't get injured again
Listen, Shakespeare, I'm guessing it might be a tough challenge for you, but I think you should suck it up and string two actual sentences together in your next post.
It's not nearly as hard as it seems. All you have to do is come up with two seperate thoughts and put a period between them. That's a little tiny dot that looks like this: .
Thanks in advance.
Is Hoyer capable of producing the way
Matt Cassel did when Brady got hurt?
