Good read. I'm excited, although all 32 teams are probably saying the same thing.

I love it! Im usually overly optimistic every year but I really do think this is the year they turn the corner

Good stuff, @FRO. I'm dying to know what Barrett Jones looks like. I want this kid to come in looking like The Rock. The muscles to go along with his brains.

Guess I gotta wait to find out. Hopefully @CoachO will be attending one of the open sessions later this week, and can give us some juicy details.

Couldn't manage an invite to this week. Planning on going either Monday the 9th or 16th for sure.

Sweet. Look forward to reading about it.

Very cool. I look forward to your insights.

"This year, in the locker room before we went out, it's just a completely different level," Givens said. "You can feel it in the atmosphere and see it guys' eyes, that this is a year to get over a hump and move to the next step."

That's what I want to hear. I still think this kid could be a real threat.

 

[RamzFanz]

Have they put out the schedule for public OTAs?

No, they are by invite only, for select season ticket holders. This is the first time I can recall them doing anything during OTAs. Apparently, this is just another one of the things K. Demoff is doing to endear the organization to the ST holders. I have attended a few of the luncheons over the past few years as well, and he is always quite accommodating.

Its my understanding, this is a small and very manageable number, as those lucky enough to attend will be in one of the inside rooms, with K. Demoff viewing the practice. They will not have the field roped off as they do throughout training camp, so access will be limited.

trust me, if I thought there was a way for me to "crash the party" I would, but I don't want to jeopardize future opportunities.

Ahhhhh, OK. Thanks Coach.

But there will be public access to training camp?

I'm thinking homemade periscope over the fence.

Or I could just go to the patriots site, they probably have video.

 

[ZigZagRam]

Good stuff, @FRO. I'm dying to know what Barrett Jones looks like.

Something like that I imagine...

 

[CoachO]

Ahhhhh, OK. Thanks Coach.

But there will be public access to training camp?

Training camp schedule has not been announced yet, but it will have between 15-18 open practices again, I would expect.

I bet. Just messin' with you. Looking forward to the reports as usual.

I know you, but trust me, its not from lack of trying,, HAHA

[FRO]

Barrett Jones looks a bit like Chris Farley.
