BOB: "More Price"

[Uncle Rico]

O'Brien wants more Price in offense - New England Patriots Blog - ESPN Boston

"He's practiced well," said O'Brien. "We need to get him in there more. He's done a good job in practice and he's a guy we gotta give some more reps to in the game."

Pressed on how that might happen, O'Brien noted, "We're figuring all of that out right now. You'll see that on Sunday."

That's Taylor Price, by the way.

Wait! Wasn't it a week or two ago we read the same "pump the playah up" press release about Ocho?

 

[Deus Irae]

Use him middle-deep and with quick slants.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

He's impressed in just about every opportunity he's gotten. Could be a solid deep threat for us IMO, it's time to unleash him. Games like yesterday and the playoff game last year where we were essentially dared to go deep, he could've been a huge asset.

 

[jays52]

If Price proves he can play that alone will functionally fix the offense.

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

Use him middle-deep and with quick slants.

Even assuming he has a limited number of plays down, BOB could use him in this limited fashion for a game or two until opposing DCs looked at the film and figured out the limitations. Go for it. Price is speedy It's not like we have any other viable means to exploit those routes other than Slater who has hands like mine..

There's a ringing endorsement for Ocho, if I ever heard one. We know Belichick would cut his grandmother despite guaranteed money, so is this an attempt to light a fire? Seriously, it's not like we couldn't use a roster spot for the defense. Of course Edelmans spot is questionable too now, I guess.

Love this news, wonder what it means for OchoJaggo?

 

[Palm Beach Pats Fan]

I guess he's just what I needed!

Both Edelman and Ocho would be affected by Price being a greater part of the game plan.
With Woodhead as our punt returner, I'm not sure that Edelman serves much purpose.

 

[JackBauer]

Please God, let it be true.

Use him middle-deep and with quick slants.

"Quick slants"? NEM, is that you out there?

 

[Deus Irae]

"Quick slants"? NEM, is that you out there?

No, I'm the anti-NEM. I defend offensive coordinators.

 

[BlueThunder]

If true, it's about time BOB saw the light...

Let him practice with the first stringers to get some timing down with TB.....


The Price is Right !

I've never seen Woodhead return punts. I have seen him return kickoffs, however, and the words "concrete shoes" come to mind. Edelman definitely serves a purpose.

This. Very much this.

 

[patsinthesnow]

Please be true. If given the chance, Price could be the pats 2nd best WR.

I wonder if they would consider letting Vereen and/or Riddley, have a chance at kick returns. Both of our Running Backs are banged up. Let the younglings get a chance to show what they can do. We need Law Firm and Woodhead healthy for the run to the playoffs.

 

[DefenseRules]

Price should have been given every opportunity to earn a role with the first string offense instead of bringing in Ocho. That trade never should have been made. They should have used the draft picks on a legit pass rusher.

I wont believe it till i actually see it.Bob needs to learn how to adjust his offense to wat the other team is doing.This guy still worries me in a big spot.This offense has to be clicking in order to take away pressure from the terrible defense!

Its amazing that Ochostinko has been a bust.Its not like the guy was coming off a terrible season.I was hoping to get 700 plus yards from the guy but has he even broken 100 yards yet?
