FOXBOROUGH – No. 46 in white out behind Gillette Stadium on Wednesday morning might have looked familiar to a lot of people in the crowd, especially BC fans. Rookie linebacker Kam Arnold was back in the area as a member of the Washington Commanders, getting some looks with the second team defense at times. Following the joint practice against the Patriots, I caught up with Arnold to see what the…
Patriots put on a very watchable show for 10k fans at joint practice
FOXBOROUGH – There’s a long way to go until we can officially say that the Patriots should be the talk of New England again, but Wednesday was a big step towards getting back there. With over 10,000 fans at Wednesday’s joint practice with the Washington Commanders, there were scuffles, a bloodied Mike Vrabel, encouraging progress for the offense and most importantly, real, aesthetically pleasing football. There was also a ‘this…
Truman Jones making a case to have a bigger role
From Harvard, to Kansas City and now, Foxborough. Truman Jones’ brief NFL career has landed him with two of the most successful NFL franchises in the last two decades. Last year, Jones was a late addition to the Patriots in the final few weeks of the regular season. So far, he’s done enough in Mike Vrabel’s eyes to stick around. “Yeah, he was an off-season award winner and worked extremely…
CCSU ready for new role as hunted instead of the hunters
The defending NEC champs are in a bit of an unfamiliar position. It’s been a while since Central Connecticut State was the hunted instead of the hunter, but after an incredible run to the Northeast Conference title a year ago, the Blue Devils are set to wear the target proudly. As part of NEC Media Week, head coach Adam Lechtenberg sat down for an interview with Craig D’Amico. Here’s everything…
Young local guys could have big impact for BC this season
CHESTNUT HILL – If the first few days of training camp are any indication of how things are going to go this season, then there’s going to be a youth movement for Boston College. In particular, young local guys might end up playing a big role in any success the Eagles have in 2025. At the top of that list isn’t technically a young guy (although he’s still just a…
What stood out from Monday’s Patriots training camp practice?
After two days off, the Patriots were back out behind Gillette Stadium on Monday morning for another padded practice to kick off a big week. Washington comes to town on Wednesday for a joint practice that will tell us a lot while Friday’s preseason game will be a good opportunity for a lot of young players to get some live NFL experience for the first time. Here’s what stood out…
Keion White looking forward to facing a few old teammates this week
Keion White is a throwback to the 1990s when it comes to an NFL defensive lineman/edge rusher. No nonsense. All business all the time. Will knock a guy’s D in the dirt if it means pure dominance over another human being. White is also a guy who will say exactly what he means, even if it’s unintentionally pretty damn funny. On Monday following Day 10 of camp, I asked White…
Harvard selected as preseason Ivy League favorite; Dartmouth 2nd, Yale 3rd
It’s poll season. The Ivy League unveiled its preseason poll on Monday morning (a poll that we are lucky enough to vote in) and the two-time defending co-champs Harvard were selected as the top team with nine first place votes (118 ‘points’). Dartmouth – who has also clinched a share of the Ivy League title in both of Sammy McCorkle’s seasons – was selected second (four first place votes, 105…
5 things to watch for when the Commanders visit this week
It’s the biggest week of the summer so far for the Patriots. New England will finally line up and hit another team – twice actually – over the course of a three day span when the Commanders are in Foxborough Wednesday-Friday. The first time will be a joint practice before the first preseason game Friday night. We’ll start to learn a lot more in a hurry when the team who…
BC’s 3rd training camp practice encouraging for many reasons
Physical, intense, high-energy. Boston College’s third training camp practice had a little bit of everything on Saturday morning as the team put on the shoulder pads for the first time. Here’s everything that went down following initial stretching and indy periods starting around 9:00 a.m. First team period Grayson James: Swing pass to Turbo (more on him coming up…), PBU for Isaiah Farris against Jaedn Skeete (tight coverage), run for…
