I think it probably is meaningless. They're probably just making sure that both TEs can be utilized in every situation in case they need to be. Just BB being overly prepared as per usual. We won't know shit until the season starts though, you know how secretive fucking BB is.

I hope we don't have to cut Dion Lewis...

Hate to say it, but would rather see Brandon Bolden go.

I've been hearing Kony Ealy (from the panthers) has been struggling as well. We're gonna have to count on Trey Flowers big time I think

id rather cut one of the newbies. aka takeback the signing. but i value BB on special teams more than DL on offense. he's good but we have too much depth

just snagged 4 tix for $75 to the pats jags preseason opener on thursday. couldn't not do that lol

also going to fenway for sox-yanks on friday aug 18

and will be at gillette for the pats-giants final preseason game. always do this one since my buddy is a giants fan

Bolden has played such a crucial role for such a long time

I'd rather him retire than be cut

He has, but if it (hypothetically) came down to bolden vs lewis i think you gotta cut bolden. Ideally you'd keep both but we have a log jam at RB (burkhead, white, gillislee, bolden, lewis). Dont think we'd keep 5 RBs? Iunno.


Hook me up fam

Sox/yanks on friday should be good.

So you'd take bolden over lewis? Interesting.

That is interesting. 10 out of 10 times I go with Lewis > Bolden. We have just way too much company at the RB position though. Not surprised at all that one of them might be walking.

Only 2 more fucking days until the opener. Who else is excited? I've been thinking about this every single day for like two weeks now. I know it's just preseason, but I'm so fucking happy football is back.

I'm sad i'm going to miss every preseason game this year lol. Usually i catch at least 1 or 2. It'll be interesting this year with the only and final roster cut taking place after preseason. Excited to see all our new weapons, especially cooks, d. Allen, & gillislee.

dont get me wrong- i love lewis and everything he is capable of. but i'm still gonna stick with keeping bolden over lewis. hopefully i can explain why

we have a cluster fuck of RBs right now, without a real power back. i think its safe to say that white, burkekead and gillissee are locks to make the team. is it unfair? maybe, but thats just waht it is. im pretty sure burkehead got the big contract, maybe it was gilissee, i cant remember. (big as in big for a patriot rb). with bolden and lewis fighting for a 4th spot, i think that boldens contributions on special teams outweigh the limited chances and longevity that lewis offers as rb. lewis is injury prone and not a 4 down back imo, but when he shines, he fucking shines. like staring into an eclipse bright. on the other hand, bolden has been a ST stud for a while now. he is extremely consistent and productive there. without blount, we dont really have a ground and pound style game (and i need a new sig). white essentially plays the kevin faulk role, and i see burkehead taking the short distance role. gillisee or even foster could be similar to a fidgety lewis to a certain extent.

if we didnt sign burkehead and gilissee, i would love to keep lewis. i like lewis better, i just dont think its happening given the current rb depth on our team
