“Problem is, officials don’t care. Why do you think Tom Brady was so pissed off in the Wells Report after a Jets game? A football was like 16 PSI. How does a football get to 16 PSI? I’ll explain why — because NFL officials working the game did that. Why? It means that prior to the game, officials checked the footballs and with no regard or care in the world at all, just inflated a football nonchalantly. …

“I know personally because I’ve had it happen to me,” he continued. “I would tell my ball boy, who I paid $200 a week, to scrub the footballs and prepare them to present to NFL officials at 12.5 PSI. Then all of a sudden during the game when one of my footballs was introduced into [the] game by officials, and it did not feel right, I’d tell [the] official to ‘get rid of that ball.’ I would explain to [the] official, ‘What the hell did you do to that ball? It’s not what I introduced to you guys, you overinflated it.’ …

“Egg is on the NFL’s face!” the retired 12-year vet maintains. “Because there is no protocol or standard. … But officials would always screw them up inflating them to ridiculous levels or leaving [the] opponent’s ball in play despite our offense being on field at a change of possession. You just knew as a QB to stay on their ass during the game and manage it.”

Not sure if it’s worth noting or not, but during the team two-minute segment late in practice Brian Tyms was on the far field with the Brady-led offense while Dobson worked with the Garoppolo-led unit on the near field. This was a segment where Garoppolo really struggled with multiple interceptions, though he was hurt also by drops, including by Dobson.

Can we get rid of this scrub already? Why is he still in a pats uniform he's (dobson) garbage -_-

Also blountgod was either hittin the blounts (kidding ofc) or slept in lolol they had him runnin' laps

--LeGarrette Blount ran a pair of laps during the workout. The first came in group action while the latter was during a team segment. The cause of the laps was not obvious, though generally laps are punishment for some infraction.

Didnt see that coming

OTA observations (From NE's website)

-Rob Gronkowski and Scott Chandler continued to spend time working on the side with Brady and tight ends coach Brian Daboll at various times. Brady used some of this time to show Chandler exactly how he wanted some short routes run and even how to get his hands in the right position to catch the ball. Brady then had Gronkowski show Chandler exactly how it was done. This tall duo and the way they are deployed will remain worth watching all summer and into the season.

^cannot wait to see these guys in action on some 2 TE sets, could be a matchup nightmare for opposing teams with both these guys on the field...

-In an early practice two-minute segment Jonas Gray took the running back reps behind Tom Brady while LeGarrette Blount worked in the group with Jimmy Garoppolo.

-Random observation, Brandon Bolden has looked very good catching the ball this spring and seems to draw a lot of praise from his coaches in the passing game. Known more for his special teams work he could certainly be a dark horse candidate to replace Shane Vereen, especially if James White and Travaris Cadet struggle to prove themselves at all.

-PFW pooh-bah Fred Kirsch thought Belichick had a new look with his socks, a slightly higher, partial crew showing above his sneakers.

lol^

I heard Tom also showed the new ball boy exactly how he likes his balls to be deflated.

Hearing tommoro boys!

How long will it take for Roger to make a decision?
I remember they said deflagate was going to take like a week or something but lmfao at that
Good luck to Brady god
