So I am kind of experimenting with some things here in order to fit writing this blog into my schedule. Unfortunately, I am a cube monkey working 40 hrs/week, so some days I am jam-packed with work and don't want to write a bunch of stuff, but then other days, I have plenty of time to do this. I am thinking of scaling this back and trying to do one post per day. This post will just be ramblings of my current thoughts and will maybe include some links to read. Aside from that, I will do my best to do quick posts with my reactions to news. As always, follow me on twitter @cultofbelichick.
-Jeff Demps: Everyone is all up in arms super excited about Jeff Demps because he was in the Olympics. Big freakin whoop. I do not care about the Olympics. Let's see Usain Bolt run back kicks, guarantee he sucks. Now, Demps did play at Florida, so it's obviously a different story. But, the point remains, if he was a good enough football player, he would have been drafted high enough that he would have turned down the Olympics. Because let's be real, no one that is a track and football player would rather do track at the highest level than play in the NFL. I know the Pats kick return game blows, but just because your wives made you watch the Olympics and you recognize the name Demps, doesn't mean he is going to be a good enough football player to make the team.
-Tavon Wilson Injury: This one really hurts. Hoping he can get back soon. He had looked good in that 3rd Safety spot and it looked as though we would have three NFL starting caliber Safetys on the squad, after playing much of last year with zero (Chung was hurt for a lot of the season). I was starting to get a good feeling about this secondary, but now we are one more injury away from James "career-special-teamer-for-a-reason" Ihedigbo getting starting snaps at Safety. This is what my nightmares are made of.
-Vollmer and Fells Coming off PUP: So the great news this weekend was that both Vollmer and Fells passed their physicals and should be coming off the PUP shortly. This is maybe the best news I have heard since the Jets acquired Tebow. If you have been reading my stuff consistently, you know that the RT spot has been haunting me all pre-season and this couldn't come soon enough. Marcus Cannon had looked horrible in his stead and now appears locked into a backup role (thank god). Fells is a little less pressing as we still have Gronk and Hernandez, but I do love the fact that we are now carrying 3 TEs.
