It’s Eagles Week! Joint practices will be held Wednesday and Thursday ahead of a Saturday night preseason game on August 22nd at 7:00 pm. The only winners I’m concerned about will be the players who finish the week uninjured. My injury anxiety is real, and it’s spectacular.
Before the game however we have plenty of stories and links to keep you caught up with all the news out of Foxborough, and beyond. Have to say I’m feeling positive vibes for the offense this year, and the defense too. The Pats bringing in reinforcements for the OL shows me that they’re on top of it and that’s a relief. The “fingers crossed, hope what we got holds up” strategy revs up that twitch in my eye every offseason. Maybe that’s changed for the better this year.
