Game Day Thread Official pregame TNF thread: Pats @ Falcons

We just don't bother. Guns is tops w/ 10 KRs for 24yds per.

Honestly, unless you have an all time great, worrying about KR is a lot of wasted energy. Half (or more) will be touchbacks, and the rest of the results range from the 20-30 yard line. Gunner is fine there, and if he's not, I don't really care as long as whoever it is doesn't fumble.

Exactly. Do nothing and it comes out to the 25. I'll take it.

CHI leads the league with 29 KRs. Big deal.

We are 13th w 23.1 yards per KR w/ 15 returns.

This is all that matters....

They have always been a mix during the Belichick years. At some points there wasn't a lot of mixing and they were mostly either zone or man. The mix will never change. But they have become a predominant cover-2 zone team in recent weeks. They do throw a some man in there, but I would say a majority (a significant majority in a game or two) has been zone. I don't expect that to change this week especially with Atlanta's offense in tatters with both Patterson and Ridley out.

I am sure they will run some man. And putting Jackson on Pitts would be the smart move. Hell, double team him all the time in man too. It isn't like Ryan has anyone else to throw to who scares you.

Hayden Hurst is pretty good, but their WRs are a mess and if CP doesn't play then their RBs don't scare anyone either... I would bracket Kyle Pitts on Every. Single. Snap.

no more kick returns for Gunner please.

Or Bolden either... JJ Taylor maybe, if he's active...

Some good news:

Why JJ over Guns on KRs? Guns is averaging 24 for his career. Very respectable.

 

[Guts]

If it's a high ankle sprain my guess is he will not play.

Patterson has been really good. Hope he is healthy but not for this game

Yeah this game isn't the Super Bowl so it's high risk low reward for him playing.

He is listed as questionable but I'd guess he will sit this one if he has a high ankle sprain.

Harris good to go! Pound that rock with him and the Battering Rham

With Judon on one side and Barmore in the middle, if we can get some pass rush out Wino, watch out!!!

Celtics are in Atlanta tonight, might be more fans tomorrow than there typically would be. Wouldn't be surprised if a lot of road fans are going to both.

He hasn't been right for a while.

People have been complaining that Uche is not very good, this would explain it.

Can never have too many pass rushers. Uche goes to IR. He and Perkins have been disappointments for me.
