Pre-Game Thread- Colts @ Pats

[patfanken]

“I had a lot of great games, a lot of accolades, and I got coached by a great coach,” said Gilmore. “(Owner) Robert Kraft was great to me, too. It’s where I played some of my best ball. We won a lot there. So it was a great experience. It was a great place to play. There’s a great atmosphere there. And it’s a great opportunity for me to play there again. To me, it’s one of the best football cities in America."

This is what the OTHER Colts CB had to say about HIS Patriots experience (some guy named Gilmore)

Based on age and production Meyers is going to one of the most sought after WR's in FA 2023. It's not a really good FA WR class we have seen much better I think he's going for the pay day IF I'm his agent.

Hey, if your an agent you are ALWAYS going to want the biggest pay day, given the more HE makes the more you make. Keen sense of the obvious

And THAT'S coming from a guy who left with a dispute. What's Moore's excuse?

Practice:

Was Cannon stunned on Sunday? Sure played like it.

 

[captain stone]

Didn't see Marcus Cannon's name anywhere; not enough snaps to qualify maybe... Did see old friends Cam Fleming & Jermaine Elmanure, both of whom ranked higher than Lose/Lose, as did rookie Jamaree Salyer, whom we could've had as late as #183...

This can't be right. Every blocking assignment for Wynn is the hardest.

Of course it's obvious but I think Teams would be wise to try to extend good players Two years before FA and not the year before. Meyers is in a great bargaining position probably not with the Patriots though.

Looked like a benching to me... The first time I noticed Wynn at LG was the possession after Strange69 had committed another penalty or made another poor blocking attempt..

Of course Strange was going up against Quinnen Williams, who just won AFC defensive player of the month. And not having Andrews next to him also contributed.

>>Jets DT Quinnen Williams has been named the AFC Defensive Player of the Month for October. Williams' October was eye-popping, with him amassing 4.5 sacks, 4.0 tackles for loss, 12 QB hits, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, and one blocked field goal. Williams also had 23 tackles in October and a pass breakup.

ravens had Judon and Smith (and at the same time for 3 seasons) gotta say they really didn't coach and play those guys to their potential like other teams have

If Harris is out this week, it's going to stink.
I know Rham is a beast, but every back needs a spell. I don't think Strong or young Harris are good for anything real at this stage.
With Andrews out again, and likely Cannon, I'm concerned they might really mix up the OL. Or we'll have Wynn at RT all game.
Maybe Cajuste will be back to try RT?

Would like to see Bourne come alive this week hopefully Mac can find him like he did last year.

Colts dealing with injuries as well:

Strange looked good at center @ Senior Bowl - has all the potential of a great center - but C is about leading O, calling protections etc - not really plug and play for a rookie - also not many reports of him practicing C - so id be surprised if Bill would make this move esp. since it is very temporary.
But if they want to play 5 best OL (philosophy unfortunately lost after Dantes departure) that would be the move..

Center also wouldnt really take advantage of his elite quickness, they can pull him and move him around at Guard

Pats Defense saying yess!

We didn't exactly make Adalius Thomas better when he signed here many moons ago he actually played worse.

Both teams are dealing with a lot of injuries:

I'm of the belief he would be a fantastic LT. I think he has better build for there and like you mentioned...he can move. But I'll settle for LG for now. Size-wise he is a clone of Matt Light except with bigger hands.

 

[catent]

We didn't exactly make Adalius Thomas better when he signed here many moons ago he actually played worse.

So long as we're discussing players who were here 15 years ago, Thomas actually was the best LB on the field at times for the Pats but his attitude issue seemed unsolvable. Maybe if I ever got the opportunity to speak with him I'd be more understanding of how things went down from his perspective, but it didn't appear to be a coaching/scheme issue, purely mental (seemed to go downhill after the snowstorm / showing up late situation).
