The really Official Patriots vs Giants Preseason Game Thread

So, you have this team going with the 3-4 going forward. With Hightower at ILB, when he's been at OLB the entire time he's been here..

Also, I don't see Bequette making the team over Zach Moore and Chung over Mallett.

The thing with Hightower is I can see him playing both ILB and Strong side OLB in our 3-4. Hightower isn't good enough to start over Chandler Jones, Jerod Mayo, Jamie Collins or Rob Ninkovich. But, he can spell just about all of them, except maybe Chandler Jones, and that is where his value will be going forward I feel.

I think that BB believe that he can always add an old out of work vet QB to fill in if the backup QB goes south.

I'm not sure I'd fully agree, but you may be right.

I think he places a good amount of the weight on knowledge of the offense/system.

I just watched the game. I don't think Boyce, whom I know is this year's whipping boy, looked as bad as everyone is saying. Did you ever think that maybe it was Jimmy G who was lost and not necessarily Boyce. Jimmy G was constantly late, throwing behind receivers and many times threw to the wrong spot. Just another perspective

Not saying Boyce won't be cut.

A good throw from JAG and he gets a first down on the 10. A really good throw and it's six points - as it was, high and behind and uncatchable, and half the people here started whining about Boyce.

He gets cut, I highly doubt he gets to the practice squad...but I think he is going to get cut. Too many have outperformed him.
