2025 - Workouts, OTAs, Rookie Camp, Training Camp & Preseason

Following the first preseason game, the Rookies made a strong impression, something that couldn't be said about any of the rookies besides the QBs last year. It may be necessary at either cutting or placing Polk and Bourne on injured reserve

One of those rookies, Marcus Bryant started at ORT. From what I have read, he is making a strong push to be the starter over Moses. Last night he looked good in the time that he played.

I've heard there's some concern Moses' age may be catching up with him. He's getting light use because of it.

Both these things stood out in my 2 days at camp. Bryant looked good - strong, and not quick but fluid. Moses looked creaky and a strep slow.

I think Bryant may have a high ceiling, actually. I get the impression he could add a little more muscle/weight without losing quickness. I think he wins the swing tackle job outright, not sure how I feel about him starting at RT at this point. Not sure how I'd feel with him as the only backup OT.

He looked pretty good on both sides last night.

Thus may not mean anything. Bryant played OLT at Missouri while the Jest first round pick played ORT. Missouri had a right handed QB. Usually you put your best OT on the left side to protect the QB'S blind side. I don’t know why Bryant fell to the 7th round.
But at this point, it doesn't make any difference.

I’d been wondering the same thing throughout the lead up to the draft.

I hope the injuries to CB James and OT Bryant aren't significant. Been starting to think of those guys as guys we are counting on as key depth at least.
 
Not a hot take, but Chism needs to be on this team.

And anybody know what happened to end Larison on IR?
 
I'm watching the Josh McDaniels presser at TC today and there is one question I was curious about that suddenly occurred to me that the media wouldn't ask.

One of the things the Patriots under Belichick were known for was a new game plan for every team, every week, on both sides of the ball. I assume McDaniels will still do that.

So my question is, How much input did Belichick (and maybe later years Brady) have into the specific offensive game plan week to week and how will that differ with Vrabel?
