3) I don't get the whole fullback thing that McDaniels is doing here.  Besides being a dying position in the NFL, it doesn't seem to make sense to carry any of the guys we have from a talent position.  I think the much better idea, and perhaps what they'll ultimately do, is continue to play Hernandez and perhaps even Gronk, in the backfield in a fullback position.  This does a variety of interesting things.  Not only is it hard for defenses to read, it also is a way that the Pats can carve out more time for 3 receivers will still having someone in the backfield as a blocker.  I also like Gronk as a lead blocker from the backfield with either Ridley or Vereen.  I just don't see how Kettani or Larsen are really going to be an asset when we could keep an extra player someone else and just let the TEs do it.

I agree with you on this. Did Kettani or Larsen get snaps in the preseason game? I think ultimately there will be little FB used, but they are using offseason/preseason to experiment a little....
Celtics fan for life.

Chung got injured tonight ... Welker and Gronk not playing, either, (night off along with Tom). Ally Raisman sitting with Kraft. Like what I'm seeing from the o-line.

Antone else watching pre-season?!?

Impressed with Mallett, but Nick Foles is lighting it up.

Yeah.  Mallet looking decent.  Pats special teams have been bad.  I don't know why Bolden is fielding punts. 

Pats essentially are resting every important player on the team: Brady, Lloyd, Gronk, Hernandez, Welker, Mankins, Wilfork, Mayo, and McCourty.  The only really good player they started, Chung, got hurt.

Deion Branch is looking good too.  I thought a week ago that he might actually be beaten out by Stallworth.  But he's looked his usual solid self.

Yeah, health is the big issue with Deion, I hope he can hang in there and give us something substantial, cuz he's still got some game ... not sure why he decided to play Chung, but I wish he hadn't in an essentially meaningless game.

Please end the strike ... that was a terrible spot of the ball, his forward progress was way beyond where they marked the ball.

If the strength of the team turns out to be defense we have serious problems

Jeff Demps with a big 29 yard run. So freaking exciting.

I was bummed when Pats drafted Vereen over DeMarco Murray last year. Demps is much smaller than Murray, but they have similar style. One or perhaps two cuts and take it to the house.

The potential is incredible, and Demps could make a huge impact this year.

With Vereen getting hurt again, Demps is going to get a chance to shine.

It was awesome to see a scripted play where Demps lined up in the backfield and ran a fly route deep, where Mallet didn't quite hit him.

Demps is a threat to run for a touchdown or receive long bombs every time he is on the field.

I can't wait for Demps' first long bomb receiving touchdown.

Week 2 is my guess.
