Patriots Pregame Thread Week 1 pregame discussion: On to Cincinnati

They also have Iosivas in the slot who is pretty solid

Yes, thanks Ross. Forgot about him. Marcus can hopefully limit him.

Peppers late addition with a hip injury, might not play.

Do you think the conversation from the coaching staff was we are playing the Patriots we don't need Higgins?

Maybe. Conference opponent though so I’m sure they aren’t overlooking us and shouldn’t.

It would be such a great thing if this team could win Tommorow. I'm pushing for Mayo to get his first win as HC.

I'm thinking this is going to be an ugly low scoring game tomorrow with Higgins out, Burrow and Chase not played much.

Schefter now reporting an update to Chase to the injury report, now dealing with an illness.

Man... Iosivas has over 7" on Marcus. Here's hoping.

Supposedly chase is expecting a deal before kick off. He wants to out due Jefferson. It's to bad his owner has short arms and deep pockets.

Oh ok well then I'll change that lol.. we have about 2 to 3 6ft DBs.. one of them should be able to match up.

let me change my pats fans sport gambles quickly

I actually think he might be the one most deserving of a shadow from Gonzo, but since he’s a slot receiver he probably won’t be on the field all the time.

Or Wilson. I'm afraid if Burrow sees gonzo in the slot he would take a deep shot.

I always thought he could play anywhere. Burrow seems to think so. AI's the fastest receiver on that team, imho.

"Andrei's going to have a big year," Burrow told reporters on Thursday. "I'm really excited about how he's coming along. Wherever he ends up playing, whether it's outside or inside, he's able to do it all."

I can't stand that fat **** Trent Brown. Softest face I have ever seen on an athlete. The ultimate underachiever.

Anyway, tomorrow should be "fun."

 

[Ross12]

Couple interesting points on this. First, elevating a WR makes me wonder if they think both Chase and Higgins won’t play. They’d be down to 3 or 4 total WRs so elevated one.

Second, they didn’t elevate a tackle at all so as far as I’m aware they really only have their two starting tackles and that’s it. If Trent Brown gets an owwie in the first quarter, what is the plan there?

 

[Jim Beankie]

Or Wilson. I'm afraid if Burrow sees gonzo in the slot he would take a deep shot.

Imho, JoJones is (hopefully still) one of the fastest players in the NFL. Edit: Forgot Marco Wilson is really fast, too.

I think we will see some of Dial in there as well another 6 ft DB.

It's good news that Lowe seems ready to go. I hope he's able to play the whole game at LT.
Lowe - Jordan - Andrews - Onwenu - Chuks is the likely start.
What's even better is that Higgins is out, and Chase is not in game shape after missing all summer.
I like our DB's vs. that lineup.
Bengals start slow, and this should be a competitive game.

It is a bit ironic/scary/sad that "Lowe being ready to go" is now seen as good news. Hey, maybe he's gonna make the leap this year. Here's hopin'
