PATRIOTS NEWS JOSH GORDON REINSTATED

[Ring 6]

Gotcha Andy. A player on the team for 4 months before missing most of training camp has no inherent advantage over someone picked up during the season.

When did I say he had no advantage?
It was suggested Gordon was handicapped because he came in late.
In fact it was asked how could you expect anything great.
Moss barely practiced before the season.

I didnt say it was identical I said it was similar.
If you want to believe that Gordon had no chance and never learned the offense and was running around without a clue, go ahead. I don’t buy it.

And just like that, with:

Edelman
Gordon
Harry
Myers
Thomas
Dorsett

We have one of the best WR groups out there.

Harry and Myers need to produce in actual NFL games. Not camp and preseason. Judgment reserved but I am excited.

 

[shmessy]

I would term that as "excellence". And, given that he was thrown into a new system, "amazing".

You think Gordon made Tom Brady 65 yards better? Really?
Ok nothing left for us to discuss.

You are right it was just coincidence Tom Brady averaged 56 more yards passing per game with Josh Gordon in the lineup.

 

[shmessy]

Andy is just being silly now, ignore him please.

I find the persistence in the face of the reality fascinating, though.

[Biffins]

Weird stats with him though....Gordon averaged almost 17 yards per reception with the Pats but looked so slow. Anyone else notice that?

He won contested catches and jump balls. He often looked covered (and frankly was).

Yes, he makes me smile with his persistence. Perhaps I will have another beer and continue to await his replies.

All I know is preseason week 3 is gonna be lit

It wasn’t just josh Gordon. Or do you think everything else was equal and it’s 100% causation of Gordon?

Don't think he can play in that game.

I persist because I am right

 

[A Defiant Goose]

Does this mean Harry gets a real jersey number and not some lame **** like 13 or 9? Give that man a nice big 88

 

[shmessy]

"learn a new system"

You know he was here last year right?

Pay attention. I was talking about last year. He came in cold in mid-September. Everyone else understood.

 

[A Defiant Goose]

Not an Andier thing will ever be said lmfao

 

[Bruins29]

Would a defense pay extra attention to Gordon when he is on the field ?

 

[shmessy]

Could be the best offense we’ve had since 2007..maybe even better. Hopefully a different ending...

I don't think so.

But the D might quite a bit better.

.

 

[libra957]

another chance....again.

 

[DaBruinz]

There are going to be mismatches. Edelman, Gordon, Thomas and Harry. Who do you cover?

Why do you keep talking about someone who hasn't even practiced with the team yet.. You want to talk about mismatches, talk about Edelman, Gordon, Harry, White, and Michel.

 

[shmessy]

Yes Gordon was great for us last year and produced 700+ yards. But also at times Brady zeroed in on him and threw him one too many jump balls and resulted in a few unnecessary interceptions. Brady relied on Gordon's physical ability to win jump balls (like all other QBs in the league do with star receivers) instead of our scheme's ability to open up ordinary JAGs like Hogan. Once Gordon was suspended Brady went back to looking for the open guy. I hope Brady doesn't get fixated on Gordon again.

Lol!!!
