Patriots 2009 OTA: Let the party get started

Today wraps up the first of five OTA's or Organized Team Activities.  The schedule is as follows as reported by Mike Reiss:

  • May 18-20
  • May 26-29
  • June 1-2
  • June 4-5
  • June 9
  •  

    Notable participants were RB Fred Taylor and Tight Ends Chris Baker and Alex Smith.  The recurring theme with these vets seems to be they want to get a jump on the system and playbook; most of the Patriots veterans won't be seen on the field until the May 26-29 OTA.  That will, more than likely, include Tom Brady.

    P.S. Mousing over the picture will give you access to a gallery of OTA pictures.  It's guys stretching and stuff, but hey...whaddya expect in the off season? ;-)

    There's an ESPN link to an AP story about Brady skipping the voluntary workouts

    ESPN should have better quality control in what stories it chooses to link to. This one is bogus. The inflammatory headline reads, “Brady missing from Patriots OTAs” and the first line of the stupid story says,

    The New England Patriots were back on the practice field, with many veterans — including quarterback Tom Brady — skipping the voluntary workout.

    The next paragraph makes sure to mention that Brady and his wife were seen at a charity event the night before, but the reporter couldn’t seem to find a copy of the local paper to learn what everyone in New England already knows: This week’s OTAs were for veteran newcomers and rookies only. Gee, no wonder Brady and the vets weren’t there.

    Keep the faith!

    but

    that wouldn’t agree with the Brady is a Diva line they’re pushing!
