Gunner looked quick at least but has drops. I feel he has potential to be the elusive route runner. Harry looked super slow . Wilkerson and Nixon were okay.
Gunner should go to some pass catching and route running clinic in off-season . He has the intangibles. Just need to convert it on the field. Is gunner our next slater?? I really doubt that . I don't see how bill can just have a player specializing in punt returns unless he is all pro year on year.
That goes against everything we’ve seen this year. We’re going to play to our strengths. They’re not going to turn Mac Jones into prime Brees and throw it 50 times.
There is still a chance for him to be back. I think he has until 4PM Saturday to have a negative test (or at least a test with a viral load low enough).
Good thing that I'm not a hypochondriac and that I didn't just binge all of the available episodes of Station Eleven. He's most likely dead, like the rest of us will be soon.
Approximately 10 targets is not that large a deficit to fill with Meyers (102 targets), Hendry (71% catch rate), Bolden (90% catch rate), Smith and we will likely see Wilkerson or Nixon.
1. Tell me of all of Agholor’s plentiful drops this year. How many drops per game are we talking?
2. Agholor’s impact can’t be measured just in targets and catches. As a vertical threat, he can open up areas without catching the ball. For example, last week we successfully ran levels concepts. I think we’ve seen plenty this year the pats hitting routes underneath him.

just another tough game for the rookie quarterback. not sure if Jones can be the reason they win Sunday. it's a team game and he needs his team to win this one. they will need some sort of defensive or teams touchdown because I don't see him being able to mount long drives with the lack of healthy receivers going up against a really great defense.
Absolutely must win the turnover battle...
Yeah, that was why I was asking him to go look it up. So lazy to form your narrative of a receiver on one rep. These guys take tons and tons of reps, and drops happen at some point. Gronk had one the other day. Jules used to have plenty. The best guy at limiting them was dola. But dropping a couple passes over a long span is not nearly as impactful as whether you can get open, draw coverage, or make plays on the ball. A drop isn’t really more costly than a play where the qb targets you and you didn’t run a good enough route to separate from the db, or you were slightly off your landmark, and it results in an incompletion.
This whole 17th game thing, and extra wildcard team/removal of the bye week for the 2 seed is incredibly stupid. Even if the Patriots benefit from being the only bye team, or the last playoff team in, I will never like this new playoff setup

Defenses are not taking 2 players to double Agohlor. The Patriots have always been a passing team that takes what the defense gives up. So, Agohlor draws a single defender and the Pats hit the zone that Agohlor clears out. The same way its been done for the last 20 years.
He has a 59% catch rate. Lowest of all receiving options except for Gunner.
In regards to drops, look at the gamelogs from the link that I posted.
Do tell.

A guy going outside the numbers will have a lower catch rate than a guy going over the middle, but the guy going over the middle will probably drop more passes. A guy running deep routes will have a lower catch rate than a bubble screen champion.
I think today is an important day. If Bourne and Stevenson both make it back today, I think both definitely play on Sunday. I still think if Bourne is activated off of the COVID list tomorrow, he still plays. Not sure i Stevenson would play Sunday if he misses today.
