Great show, Gents. I think that the Pats are actually top -heavy with talent at WR. Not that the Tackle situation is going to give the QBs much time to throw to them. Wallace is going to be good. But next season the Pats will get a LT in the first round.

As much as I love them I think this is a speech a couple years ago that RWR problem was with the WR coach, Now that we got a new one they're looking a lot better

[@lovellj.parkman240]

They should keep Boutte over Thornton it knows what they will do. This is a full blown rebuild

[@delusionalpatriotsfan9858]

As much as I understand taking out maye, that's soft

[@ArthurCerniglia]

Do you think it's nice to watch Bailey' zappy zappy are you joking

[@mrsnoopyaaaaa]

I don’t know why you keep talking about Thorton. He absolutely stinks and he can’t stay healthy. I would take booty any day over him. I don’t care how fast he is. He’s not a good good wide receiver.

Yall not giving Joe Milton enough credit, if Maye did what he did you would be drooling all over him
