Is Shamarko Thomas really any good?

Wonder what the money line on Pats 1st offensive play being a TD is, might be worth throwing a 20 down on
Now that Brady's suspension has been overturned and he's going to play, it sure looks pretty bleak for the men in Black & Gold. Better man up and get ready.
 
I agree Hurt our drafts the past 8-9 years have been pathetic to say the least. I mean just looking at our most recent drafts of Jarvis and now Dupree these 1st round players just don't seem to have that "it" factor. Our scouting department has not had much luck at all with bringing in big league NFL caliber talent to this roster over the past 8-9 years and that is why we are at a quandry. We finally have a legit top 3 offense (that we as fans have been clamoring for)during Big Ben's peak years along with a decent. It is sad that our FO has overspent on the likes of Kemoeatu, Lamaar just to name a few and then shiet the bed our drafts as well. Hell we could have had the stud OLB from the patriots or even moved up in the draft to nab Marcus Peters this year ahead of dupree by moving up a few spots. All I am saying is our drafts have all been below average at best. All we really seem to have an eye for talent are WR but we need Colbert and his staff to find defensive players that are above solid in doing their jobs on our defense for us to have a legit shot at advancing in the playoffs. It is a sad state of affairs on our defense right now. I hope Lake can work his magic and I hope tomlin allows lake to play the best 11 no matter if they are rookies, rookie undrafted or whatever. Just get the best 11 on the field at the same time. I was hoping we would bring in Tim Jennings (cb) he would have been an instant instant upgrade over Blake at right corner. I am still optomistic but JJ has bust all over him and Shamarko looks utterly lost out there.....we shall see soon because the bullets will be flying live soon enough.

Who is our best draft pick on defense in the past four drafts? 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012.

Man, I don't know! You could make a case for J. Jones, V WIlliams, or Spence...and that is the problem. On Potential its Shazier all the way.

It's scary thinking about Brady lining up with robo tight end against Thomas. I hope the guy can pull his *** out of the fire that they plan to light under him. That's what footballs about but the last time Brady and robo faced Thomas it was embrassing. I feel bad for him.. Football has changed tight ends bigger faster better receivers same with wide outs and we expect Thomas to defend them.... I wish him the best
 
Gronk is going to kill these safeties. Especially with that Shamarko-Polo game he's playing while trying to cover the deep half...
 
Not sure we know about any player on defense after this pre season. Not sure the coaches have anything to go on after this preseason.
 
Do they have Troy on speed dial??

Troy was the starting SS on the 27th pass defense last year. I don't think he would help.
 
Just kidding. We might need Bobby Boucher back there the way we are playing.
 
WIld looks better than Thomas.
