    @NESN I know they were only in shorts, but who passed the eye test at rookie camp? Who surprised you?

    Of the media's 50 total minutes at practice this weekend, we saw two drills and a lot of stretching. No real impressions yet. #NESNlive

    It's gonna be tight, but I think so. Another thing to consider: They won't be able to sneak him onto the PS. He'll get claimed. #NESNlive

    @NESN what's the status on J. Cunningham ?? , I Don't see anyone picking him to make the roster #NESNlive

    Cunningham has a lot to prove after a tough season, but he's been at the facility for workouts, helping new guys, etc. Good sign. #NESNlive

    @NESN Who gets left out of a crowded, jumbled mess at WR? #NESNLive

    Welker, Lloyd, Branch, Gaffney should be locks. Slater is likely, too. From there, it'll be a terrific competition. #NESNlive

    @NESN can't put Branch in with the locks!

    Branch has 99 catches in 28 games w/ Pats since '10. He's been productive, and Brady/Belichick love him. He'll be there. #NESNlive

    @NESN #NESNlive do you think tht hightower jones and say dennard will all have big time impacts this season?

    I think Hightower and Jones will. Dennard needs more time, but the CB depth chart is tricky. He'll be a reserve to start. #NESNlive

    @NESN I have a hunch Edelman will be a db next year wide receivers group to crowded what do you think ?
    Mon, May 14 2012 09:14:01

    NESN@NESN
    It's a crowded cornerback group, too. Edelman won't have one position. He'll have to contribute in all three phases. #NESNlive

    @NESN do you see the #patriots will pick a veteran Tackle, for insurance, now that Light has retired ? #NESNlive

    Gallery can play tackle if needed. Plus, Cannon and Kopa are back there. They've got plenty of options. #NESNlive

    @NESN is it possible for any of the rookies to start, in the reg season? Obviously depending how good they are in the preseason? #NesnLive

    NESN@NESN
    It's hard to say any of them will start, but I think Hightower, Jones and Bequette will all have important roles. #NESNlive

    @NESN how much of a jump does our defensive ranking take this yr. Just with the additons alone we cant be as low as last season.

    NESN@NESN
    With last year's injuries, upside w/ youth, there's reason to be optimistic. Plus, Pats were 15th in scoring defense last year. #NESNlive

    @NESN will Faulk be back?
    Mon, May 14 2012 09:20:47
  23. NESN
    NESN@NESN
    My gut says yes. He wants to play, so we'll see what happens. #NESNlive

    @NESN Jeff do you think LeBron James would be a good fit in a Patriots jersey? #NESNlive
