Allen, but it looked like both Gronk and Bennett were sucking air today and struggling after a while. I think the elevation was affecting the bigger guys on their route running.
I try to stay away from agitating you but sometimes you're just so goddyamed condescending it's impossible to lay off.
Going 5 wide out of 21 and 12 personnel is a reoccurring method we use to exploit defensive match-ups.
Been watching the NFL for over 60 years, played ball up to college. I have no idea what the eff "21 and 12 personnel" means. This is the first time I've ever heard it used ANYWHERE by anybody related to the NFL, sports stations, blogs, former coaches etc. You say "we" as if YOU are part of the Pats coaching staff. Are you?
IMO, Dion Lewis has not shown the slot-receiver route running capacity of Burkhead or White.
I attend games as well as watch them every Sunday. I've seen Lewis out of the slot two years ago,even with Edelman being the primary slot.Just because he hasn't shown it to you THIS season doesn't mean he cannot perform that function.It means the Pats have two other players that can, giving Lewis more chances at his optimum position...but yeah, just IMO your way out of a pure BS take.
You don't call Gronk a WR when he is lined up wide. A player's position is a function of their overall skill-set, not where they are lined up on a given play.
well, this a dyamned if you do/don't proposition on your part. If Gronk is lined up at WR in a five wide set guess what? He IS a WR. So are White and Burkhead NOT RB's but slot receivers instead? Really? You actually believe THIS?
White and Burkhead's ability to run slot routes makes them better overall playmakers in a very important sense.
They are very important cogs in the Pats offense, but to denigrate Dion Lewis like you have just done, based on practically nothing is just plain ridiculous. I witnessed the dynamism Dion Lewis brought to this offense 2 years ago. He is back from that horrendous knee injury at last and is BACK to his play making ability.

well, elaborate then. What very important sense? Name it with examples. I see Lewis 4/28 yards and a TD as a receiver. I see Burkhead with 4/21 and White with 0/0. Look ,I'm not going to sit here and tear away at James White OR Burkhead. They are very important cogs in the Pats offense, but to denigrate Dion Lewis like you have just done, based on practically nothing is just plain ridiculous. I witnessed the dynamism Dion Lewis brought to this offense 2 years ago. He is back from that horrendous knee injury at last and is BACK to his play making ability.
He had only 3 total targets today and none in the red zone.
well, nice War & Peace response to defend what is essentially your OPINION that Dion Lewis is drastically inferior to Burkhead and White insofar as playmaking is concerned. I'll be blunt. YOU are full of it. Your opinion is just that. I think it sucks. One more passive /aggressive snark directed at me and it's off to Ignoroid Land.
""You say "we" as if YOU are part of the Pats coaching staff.""
Come on Joe, saying "we" had a good night or we played good on D is not ok?
For the amount of years you sat on aluminum benches at Sullivan, you of all people should be able to "we" for anything Pats related
Please add me to the list.
Look, I can pull up Patriots 1TE 2 back sets all day. He's speaking as if this is some chiseled in granite Erhardt/Perkins axiom. He slammed Lewis using faulty information to start with. That's all I'm reacting to...that and his back stab at Deus. Have a Happy Thanksgiving, ok?
It's why Allen was so wide open twice last week.
He does a lot of film break down. Does a pretty good job imo.

Just spitballing here...what if the Pats started practicing in an indoor facility where they lowered the oxygen...making the normal gameday air extra full of oxygen-y goodness.I saw that too. He was in distress.
I think Bennett and Gronk experienced similar situations to differing degrees. It was notable on the telecast.

I'm sure the idea is nonsense on stilts for a hundred reasons but it was in my head.
