It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Got picked on a bit, and he was penalized twice, but to your point, there was some context given that I think his defensive issues were super early in the game (when he didn't even know he was starting) and he went on to play 100% of the snaps. So with that in mind, I agree, it was a decent performance.It seems that Austin should be a competitor for #5 CB or #6 CB next year. He played all the reps, and I never heard his name.
Not sure about Wade, this Austin looked as good in his first game as Wade after 3 years.All 3 have been okay this year overall, i like wade the most of them. I think cb is in decent shape for next year with gonzo/jon/marcus/wade and some cheap competition for #5 . Id also try to resign jcj on a prove it deal if his issues clear up, at least bring him to camp. shouldn’t cost much

And, it was a nice idea to bring JC back - but the guy has lost his mind, maybe CTE?
Gonzo, Jon, Marcus, Austin, Bolden (they really liked him before his head injury preseason) + FA or Draft
Did you have the sound turned off?It seems that Austin should be a competitor for #5 CB or #6 CB next year. He played all the reps, and I never heard his name.
100 mill in cap space can allow a chunk to be devoted to giving Gonzo a running mate.All 3 are solid backups.
I want Marcus Jones taking their reps next year, but don't be surprised if they draft a CB in the 3rd. Jon Jones will be 32 next year. Clearly the Patriots need a long term answer opposite Gonzalez.
Clearly, CB was a huge need in the last draft. All the moaning about taking another defensive player and look where we are. In 2025, we'll have Gonzalez and ???
Agreed. He has some ability. He could be a diamond in the rough. I'm sure next season Mayo will give him plenty of opportunities. We need CB depth badly.It seems that Austin should be a competitor for #5 CB or #6 CB next year. He played all the reps, and I never heard his name.
Best thing you've said all year.100 mill in cap space can allow a chunk to be devoted to giving Gonzo a running mate.
Agreed. Jack Jones had that opportunity he was supposed to be the #2. He pissed that away in NE. Sneed was always good. KCs offense was so electric that thier defense couldn't match. ALL PRO is the telling accomplishment. Gonzo was heading in that direction as a rookie. What they should be doing is re-upping peppers, picking up barmores 5th year, franchise Dugger, we have some studs on defense need to keep guys together.The pats should've signed Ward in 2022. It'll be hard to spend $100+ million in cap space on their own FAs and offensive players given the lack of talent in FA on that side of the ball anyway.
L'Jarius Sneed is a 6'1" press man CB who can play outside & in the slot. He's given up 0 TDs & has a 56.6 rating against. There's a chance he'll be an all-pro this year. The pats should be all over him to pair with Gonzalez IMO.
Marcus Jones isn't great at corner but he's an excellent return man/gadget guy on offense. They need to leave him to those two roles and don't get him injured playing corner.All 3 are solid backups.

to be clear, you think that his role is #5 WR and punt returnerMarcus Jones isn't great at corner but he's an excellent return man/gadget guy on offense. They need to leave him to those two roles and don't get him injured playing corner.
The posters would go mad if we spent the money for a top CB to play opposite Gonzo. They want the money spent on a top WR or two.Best thing you've said all year.
LOL.. I know right ️.. Groh I'm sure is going to target Another stud CB in FA.. those guys are neccessary.The posters would go mad if we spent the money for a top CB to play opposite Gonzo. They want the money spent on a top WR or two.
Yes basically what I think it should be.to be clear, you think that his role is #5 WR and punt returner
You can do both, the problem is a guy like Tee Higgins would instantly become our best WR, and then we'd watch him drop balls left and right like he's been doing all year in New England.The posters would go mad if we spent the money for a top CB to play opposite Gonzo.
