Comments on: Best and Worst: Patriots and Jaguars http://www.patsfans.com/ian/blog/2011/08/12/best-and-worst-patriots-and-jaguars/ New England Patriots Football Blog from Ian Logue of PatsFans.com Sun, 28 Apr 2013 00:58:09 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: batsandgats http://www.patsfans.com/ian/blog/2011/08/12/best-and-worst-patriots-and-jaguars/comment-page-1/#comment-19088 batsandgats Sun, 14 Aug 2011 16:03:17 +0000 http://www.patsfans.com/ian/blog/?p=5591#comment-19088 How is Danny Woodhead 1 and done? the pass blocking with the first team was great but the run blocking wasn’t. Ridley was averaging about 2 ypc before busting off a long run against 2nd and 3rd stringers. Woodhead wasn’t getting any holes but was getting quite the push despite being a smaller back. It always takes the offense longer to gel than it does defense, espescially when it comes to running the ball. Offensive scheming in preseason is different than in regular season, playing the run isn’t much different than in the regular season. Pretty much none of the 1st team back’s performed well for the first preseason game, Ray Rice averaged 1.7 ypc, is he done? Hell most didn’t even play because they knew there was no point, like Adrian Peterson and his 3 yard carry. Woodhead is a proven commodity, he doesn’t have to prove anything out there in preseason, he has to be ready for the regular season, and mainly the post season. Blount avg 3.6 ypc with a long of 4, is he one and done? Leon Washington avged 2.9 is he done?

When are people. going to stop overreacting to preseason games, were talking about 5 carries here. Ridley bust off a 21 yarder against guys that won’t make the JAGUARS and were ready to anoint him the next Faulk? the guy looked good as a 3rd down back, but not in the same way Kevin Faulk and Danny Woodhead are 3rd down backs, im talking short yardage and goal line. He is kind of stiff, like a fullback (Medlin showed more wiggle than him but lets just right him off since he wasn’t drafted and from a small school, right?) he reminds me of a smaller Heath Evans, probably a little more speed but that isn’t saying much.

That’s such a crowded group with a lot of talent, probably about as deep as we’ve ever seen. I think they’ve got a lot of tough decisions to make, especially if everyone plays well through the next three games.

Dane Fletcher has great instincts. Danny Woodhead might be a one and done; especially if they continue to use him like they did last night. I’m having a hard time keeping up with all the defensive linemen. Other than the gruesome twosome, the d-linemen each do something well. I’m going to get dizzy watching Bill shuffle these guys in and out. Farnhum and Medlin are playing for the practice squad. Although I’m not a big fan of Slater, he had a great game. Maneri did a nice job as a pulling guard. Ridley did well last night but he didn’t get many yards after the catches. He looked like Ben Jarvis’s twin brother out there; minus the dreadlocks. The special teams definitely looked horrible last night. Taylor Price is the real deal and Bill better find a way to get him out there. I hope Matt Light gets healthy soon because Solder doesn’t quite look ready to me. He looked uncomfortable.

He is so fast that it would be good to see him get some long passes from Brady (or the others). Looked like the young players on the O-line did well in pass protection. What did you guys think of Maneri and Ohrnberger in particular? No sacks is a good sign.
