A lot of what's been discussed sounds like Shannahan scheme.Patriots apparently changing their entire offensive system in Year 1 after Josh McDaniels
With the long-time coordinator in Las Vegas, New England is using "new terminology, new words."www.patspulpit.com
This is either going to work really well and catch the league by surprise as it did with the 2019 Ravens - or things will get ugly. I say it will work really well.
BTW, this certainly doesn't sound like a typical Pats player response. Bourne has his own Youtube channel and films everything he does. It's different. I like it, but must drive Bill crazy, lol.Patriots apparently changing their entire offensive system in Year 1 after Josh McDaniels

I’ve noticed the same. Bourne is not shy about talking to the media. Really stark departure from past team norms.BTW, this certainly doesn't sound like a typical Pats player response.

I don’t think Bill has ever cared about that unless it effects the team negatively in his eyes. Cam wasn’t an issue either.BTW, this certainly doesn't sound like a typical Pats player response.

Sure for non-football stuff, but Bourne said more about what they're doing on the offense than Bill has said in ten years.I don’t think Bill has ever cared about that unless it effects the team negatively in his eyes. Cam wasn’t an issue either.

No it isn’tSomewhat true. A comeback from a deficit of 17 -3 is different than a deficit of 45 -31 even though both situations are a 2 touchdown deficit.
This is myopic. Picking out drive and saying the defense failed to get a stop when they got many to allow the comeback is short sighted.The defense just wasnt clutch last year. Of course the last 2 bills games were really bad too. But it was concerning that even from an optimist point of view who thought they mostly had a very good year we failed to make stops in all but 2 big moments.
Week 1. fins got 2 first downs deep in their own territory, ran clock out
Saints. Failed to stop them after we pulled within 8
Tb . Allowed the go ahead fg
Dal. Gave up winning score
Texans. First clutch stop late , set us up for the winning score.
@buff. Second clutch stop late, the weather conditions should be noted as well.
Indy. Long run at the end instead of a stop
Buff. Dropped int, then td drive when we got within 5.
game in miami. Failed stop again
So out of 9 final drives in close games, the defense only came through in the clutch twice. One of those was the wind game which clearly affected the passing. Pretty odd since i felt they were strong most of the year. Then again It could be the same issue as on offense where we may not have that guy we could count on for the big moment, while having a good amount of talent overall . Or maybe the playcalling? Not sure tbh. The 2nd buffalo game was a microcosm of this where it felt like we forced alot of favorable 3rd and 4th down situations but allen outdid us almost every single time when it was all on the line. So close but so far away.
Overall i think it was a pretty talented team that could be outstanding when hitting on all cylinders but in the end didn’t have the ‘horses’ to consistently get it done or overcome obstacles when things went awry. I like the additions offensively given that onwenu can somewhat replace shaq and strange can be karras. Defensively its up in the air. I like the added depth at cb which was imo our biggest downfall last year and we have gotten faster/younger at lb but remains to be seen if we are ok there.
Oh really. Let's refresh your last memory shall we; this is what i remember.
And I quote "a Buffalo barrage". Buffalo's O-line Dominated the Patriots D-line, full stop. Buffalo rushed for 174 yards (6.0 per carry) and passed for 308 (12.6 per catch). Lots of lanes, lots of time.

No it isn’t
A 14 point deficit is a 14 point deficit. It is literally the exact same thingYes it is.
More Shanahan offense talk, Wynn, Marcus Jones, Thornton, Agholor, JSmith, etc. On the offense, theory is Shanahan offense is simpler for Judge & Patricia to grasp than the many little details & quirks of the E-P/McDaniels offense. So we may be dumbing down the offense for Judge. Got it.
Same here, all for modernizing our offense. Obvious upside is taking advantage of the talent of players (athleticism) like Jonnu, Thornton, Strong. The downside is you kind of lose what was learned of the old scheme in the first year with all the FAs. Offensive coaches are still a concern for me.I'm for a change in offense. Josh's offense was great at starting drives with those quick consistent yards on first down, but I see much room for improvement. Josh's offense is clearly difficult with the documented years of guys not quite getting it and I think this will be beneficial to have something simpler. Under Josh we dink and dunked way too much and that requires error free football to sustain long drives and that is asking a lot of anyone not Brady. We clearly want larger chunks and added speed will also help with that.
I'm actually happy to hear about our run offense adding from Shannahan. I have never really liked our run game under Josh aside from that one year with Cassel. I always wondered why we didn't borrow run plays from other teams. Our offense could easily take a step back, but improvements to an already decent run game could be huge. I choose to be optimistic unless we start 0-4. I will go full sky is falling lol.
Lastly, I hate Harry because he sucks, but it is sad that it seems he has just accepted his fate. A new offensive coordinator could be all the change he needs and he doesn't show up. This is why diva wrs are superstars. Their large ego doesn't allow them to quit.
It’s Belichicks system.Could just be Verbiage and a few different wrinkles, I DOUBT Bill would ENTIRELY scrap the old system.
