Pats fans not liking these photos when he should be 'rehabbing.' Which is dumb. What's one night of walking around a party? If anything fans should be jealous. How do you pass up this invite? If Portis did it, of course people would be outraged.

The O-Line Nitty Gritty

I know it is early, but it would be cool to really know the nitty gritty on the O-line. Particularly, Selvish Capers, OT – http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/archive/566427?tag=pageRow;pageContainer. What is the real scoop on this guy? Thumbs up or thumbs down? Bookend or bench warmer?

too early to tell

Until they have pads on it’s impossible to tell.

I hope Shanny can work his late round magic

I just hope Shanny can keep the players "buying in" to the scheme...

if we struggle early. Old habits are hard to break, and bad habits even harder. Another reason why I think Donovan will be a positive addition….I hope.

Larry Weisman's OT report on O-line.

A little bit of concrete. IMO, If Capers is with the third group it would seem that he is not being pushed much and fans shouldn’t expect that much. Of course no one is in pads at this point.

“The starting o-line looks the same as at minicamp. No. 1 pick Trent Williams at LT, then Derrick Dockery, Casey Rabach, Mike Williams and Artis Hicks over at RT. Another o-line draftee, Selvish Capers, got a lot of work at LT with the third group. He played RT last year at West Virginia and the club wants to bounce him around. Stephon Heyer, who started at both LT and RT last year, was at RT with the second group. Capers’ maturation will be interesting if he can thrive (or survive) at LT. Those blindside protectors are not easy to find and depth is a must. Edwin Williams, who made the club last year as an undrafted free agent, was a center at Maryland and mostly worked at RG. Now he’s at LG.”

Ken and I were just IM’ing, we wouldn’t TO even if he agreed to the league minimum. I’m so confident TO isn’t coming we’ll give away a t-shirt if he does sign.
