The #Patriots are signing FA WR Griff Whalen, source said. They think he can fill Danny Amendola’s role until the playoffs.

 

[mikiemo83]

he was the center on the Fake punt, Bill wants to get the inside scope on the mechanics of the play.

 

[Mazz22]

Well, scratch the fake punt off the play sheet.

 

[HomelessJoe]

Watch the Pats run that fake punt - and succeed.

Another short white dude...

Seriously, though, it looks like he will be a decent returner and can contribute on offense as well. He's got some studying to do.

He might just be the missing piece of the puzzle...

Get them Duck boats warmed up.

 

[Big/Sky/Fly]

He was a scrappy guy...could be a decent sign.

Stanford smaht...

 

[Big/Sky/Fly]

So, is his knickname gonna be "The Griffter"?

He’s returned 46 punts for 376 yards and 29 kicks for 701 yards.
Returns start at the 1:05 mark. Good, not great, but solidly consistent.

He should be able to get to grip with at least a bare bones McDaniels playbook pretty quickly. He could be one of those players like Akeem Ayers and makes an impression very quickly.

The Hartford Whalen?

BIG difference between McD's 400 page playbook and Patricia's 40 page playbook.

If he can just return punts than this was a great signing. I don't want Jules back there.

Nor Jones......

 

[Smudger]

This could be the turning point.

 

[PumpDee]

I wanted Keshawn Martin back.

 

[Baron Samedi]

Who?

I mean, the film on him looks decent. Could be good in the return game and provide depth at WR, but I'm not getting too excited. If he was a legit threat I'd imagine someone would have had him on their roster by now.
