Content Post Words on things I watched, read & heard II


This has an opening post with good commentary and information, which we definitely recommend reading.



I remember when the Pats would run Trips right or Trips left. I thought that it was under McDaniels before he went to Denver and continued with B'OB, but maybe I'm mistaken..
 
I couldn't believe it when I read it. Unbelievable lol. Such a specific and weird comparison lol.

I want to buy the old nepatdraft site that's been dead for years. I actually wrote for it for a short while. I'm not a writer more my opinion/analysis of who & why someone was a Pats draft target. No luck though. I'll reach out again someday
You should talk to Ian about that....

You'd know I'd help if I had the spare money right now.
 

Is there a player or two you idolized growing up?
Oh, yes. Reggie White and Julius Peppers.
I'm a bit older than you, my friend. Jim Brown and **** Butkus are my favorites. Barmore is an absolute pleasure to watch develop. He's very talented and smart.

It's funny he mentioned White because he was too young to see him play but one of the best of all time and a great role model.

Brown and Butkus were before my time. I was more into the Red Sox in the 70's when I was a kid...Yaz, Lynn, Rice, Fisk...I idolized those guys. It wasn't until the 80's with Tippet, Vincent Brown, Morgan that I was a big Patriots fan.

Pff must he employing Stevie wonder to review slowjuan Williams film,
 

Continuing my series of posts considered uninformed by some on here; I think he is a serviceable CB except for his penchant to watch the QB while his man is racing to the end zone. Other than that, I like him. He is a good tackler, responds well to the ball. Just wondering after I wrote "his man" if it is still okay to use man in that context or do we have to say person or it?
 
A long rant in Reddit I thought was interesting (maybe they are at patsfans.com as well)...



What Bill said...

"Just depends on what defense they're in and what formation we're in and things like that. When you're putting in one play, you emphasize and run that and then you go to something else and then you emphasize that. So, just happened to work out the sequence that we put in the zone runs first, but we've put in plenty of gap plays and we'll run those, too."

I'm thinking that might be highly weighted by the coaching staff. I'm far from an expert, so just a hunch.

Could you cite all these men racing to the end zone? I don't want to assume you mean for TDs, since Williams has supposedly only given up 2 in his career.

And yes. I question PFR's accuracy since Myles Bryant gave up 2 TDs last year and they have him down as none.

This was REALLY long, but worth the time and should be a must read for ALL the mediots and nervous nellies that are predicting the sky will fall this season. Some in the media have come around a bit and are now focused on the play calling enigma. Felger even ADMITTED that he was "disappointed" that the offense looked OL on Thursday. Now he has on less "hot take" to use on his show, not that he won't use it anyway. ;)

Good stuff. Echos a lot of what I've been saying. I'm seeing this dramatic shift. We'll see but thanks for posting this.

No but there are some deeply etched in my psyche.
 
@BaconGrundleCandy - You seriously need to start that NFL draft website. At least you could counter the stupidity somewhat by putting some real information out there.

so what are you trying to buy? Does anything of that site still exist? I’ve got some technical chops, maybe I can help.
