We are on to Miami: Official week 1 pregame thread

Who is the o line coach?

Fat Man

 

[Zuma]

Looking at our first 1000 yard rusher since Blount 2016?

If not, then 1000 combined rushing and receptions !

Special Teams talk:

I was too young to vote for him in '68, so I'm voting for him now: Humphrey.

(that, and I don't want to risk Jon Jones or Strong to injury...)

Don't have any big data to back this up but I think punt team gunners seldom get injured. I'd risk Strong just to get him on the game day roster.

I went out shopping this afternoon. Five minute drive from home. Radio was on Felger and Mazz and they were ragging on the crappy facility. Forty minutes later, my shopping done, back in the car for the five minute drive back home, and they were still going at it. Pretty funny, actually. They take a small thing and chew it to death.

I actually watched (more listened) a bit of it today, they're insufferable.

Maybe we can get Glen Ordway back?

Geez, I'd probably take Eddy Andelman and that Midget back, and I couldn't stand them either.

They dont make them like Andelman anymore.

Johnny Most or Harry Cary either.

They have nothing else to discuss. If it’s funny, that’s great, but does anyone care about a facility where they’re conducting three practices? The Pats have underperformed in Miami in the heat. They are there to get acclimated. Doesn’t that make sense?

 

[Stu Pidassle]

I think it's a huge blessing to have TyMonTy only limited. If he can play, I think he'll bring a good dimension and show himself to be quite reliable for Mac. Also, since when did Meyers have a knee injury?? Is this new, or is that what bothered him all camp and no one knew?

I read that he was hurt in the last preseason game when a lineman fell on his leg.

Good ready by Barth: Expectations from the 2022 Rookie Class:

What to expect from the Patriots' rookies in 2022

Last year was a big year for Patriots rookies. Will the draft class of 2022 follow that hype? Who will contribute the most this season?

Love it....just like Rocky training at Apollo's L.A. gym in "Rocky III".

"Eye of the Tiger"!!!

You’re exactly right. Brilliant Belichick move. All the focus is on football. The crappy field conditions brings the players back to their “ratatouille” beginnings. Unleash their inner dogs.

Forget about their Bentleys, huge homes, girlfriends, bling, etc.

Only a Parcells or a Belichick would intentionally do something like this. I love it.

Old Skool football.

Break out the leather leather high tops.

The key of the game is pass rushing Tua. He can be lethal if given time, with those weapons.

Rattled, he quickly becomes Chad Pennington post shoulder surgery.

Can the duo of Uche/Anfernee Jennings get past their OT? How will Judon do against top tier OT FA Terron Armistead?

Advantage Phins.

And it’s a lot easier to find a starter at LG than it is to find a bona fide edge pass rusher opposite Judon. A to-do task that the Patriots never addressed.

"...While Jonathan Jones and Shaun Wade may see snaps at that spot, [Jack] Jones has experience in that role, something Bill Belichick highlighted on Sunday telling reporters “he really has a lot of experience playing perimeter corner at USC and then at Arizona State for good DB coaches too, like Marvin [Lewis] and Herm [Edwards]..."

The kid's already doomed.

It's been really bad. They are ruining football Christmas where everyone is supposed to be excited for the season to start. Instead it's dumping on the team all the time

It's funny the things they are *****ing about. Yesterday, I heard people trashing Belichick for practicing at a field that didn't even have a goal post. What is Nick Folk going to do? They acted like they can't practice offense, defense, or punting drills without a real goal post.

In the past, people would call Belichick sending the team to Florida five days early after a 2-7 record in Miami in recent years a genius move. Now they are calling it an act of desperation.
