Belichick had this to say, “David has had a good offseason and he's had a
real good start to training camp,� Patriots Head Coach Bill Belichick said
earlier this week. “I think he's shown up in every phase of the game, special
teams, his blocking, and the running game and his route running. He's made
plays down the field and made them inside, made them short, has shown quickness
to get away from people and the ability to separate down the field. I think
he's going to contend. We'll see how it goes, but I think at least now he's put
himself in position to contend for some playing time. I mean not just a roster
spot, I think he's got a chance to actually get in there and fight for some
playing time.�

But the improvements in Givens' game didn't just come overnight. Hard work and
plenty of extra time with a Jugs machine appears to be paying off.

Notice BB's comment "playing time". Bye, bye Dedric Ward.

-p (wants to play with the Jugs too)

Lewd comments aside, what's a jugs machine?

Football tossing machine. Used in baseball batting practice or at your
local batting cage.

It's very encouraging. We may be seeing the birth of a new receiver
that will have impact. OTOH, he could be, like Ward, a preseason
phenom that fails to translate it to the regular season.

I doubt that though. I think Givens reminds me of Brady and how Brady
worked his way to the top through sheer determination and
teachability.

he-he-he. He said "jugs".

Givens has looked really good from the begginning of camp. Remember now, he was
a fairly good prospect last year. We may indeed have something here folks -
cross your fingers, I am telling you he is looking S-H-A-R-P!!
