The CAT will lead us!!!

[PatsFanInVa]

There we go! Perfect form tackling! Just like I coach em!!! <<<Jots notes on clipboard>>>

Good hit but he didn't wrap up.

 

[captain stone]

Maybe not, but he still did better with that kid than Jonny Badmostly did with Agholor on 3rd/6.

 

[Soliel]

That’s the one! That’ll be Sammy if Lewis is not resigned lol

 

[supafly]

AFCCG 34 yards rushing, 32 receiving

SB 39 yards rushing, 0 receiving

It would’ve been nice to keep PHI off the field.

 

[ctpatsfan77]

What am I going to do when Dion signs somewhere else?

I think you still have a few liv—er, binkies—left.

 

[Uptown]

Hope not, but it looks like The Cat will LEAVE us.

It was absolutely criminally negligent of Bill & Skippy that the Cat was not on the field AT ALL for ANY of their ****ed-up 3rd-down plays during the first half.

I expected more production from the RBs in both of the AFCCG and SB. Shows you what I know.

Dion Lewis free agency: New England Patriots would be taking a risk in letting RB leave

 

[SammyBlueCat]

Leading rusher Lewis unsure of return to Pats

 

[Username]

I would love for him to re-sign, but couldn't blame him for leaving if he gets a big offer elsewhere.

 

[maust]

Unfortunately concerns with his durability preclude the Pats coughing up much in the way of guaranteed money. Some team with cap space to burn is probably going to make him an offer he can't refuse.

We're on to Gilleslie

I thought that it was odd all season that Lewis wasn't used more in the passing game. His targets per game played have actually declined during his Pats career, too:

2015 = 7.1 tgts/ game ... 72% catch rate .. 10.8 YPC (more than just dump-offs)
2016 = 3.4 tgts/game ... 71% catch rate .. 5.5 YPC
2017 = 2.2 tgts/game ... 91% catch rate .. 6.7 YPC

Meanwhile, in 2017 ...
- Burkhead saw 3.5 tgts/game-played (83% catch rate, 8.5 YPC).
- White had 5.1 tgts/game-played .. 78% catch rate ... 7.7 YPC.

(this is just regular season)

 

[Kontradiction]

We're on to Gilleslie

Actually, I think we're on to the draft at that position.

Maybe. IDK.

BB seems more interested in players who've already been in the NFL a couple years, but that may be too expensive this year, considering the cap space.

I have a theory that BB wanted to have the players he knew wouldn't be back the next season off the field and prove he can win without them.
No evidence just a theory.

Taking a peek at the free agency backs 2 peak my interest and would be cheap
Brandon Oliver
And Lance Dunbar

Not seeing much value in either one, even at veteran minimums.

Oliver's one good season (2014, as a rookie) was barely more than what Gillislee produced for the Pats in 9 games this season, and Gillislee's 2017 production is almost equal to Dunbar's entire 6-year career. For what amounts to about $1M more, I'd just keep Gillislee.

I think Oliver would be a good signing
