Extra reps for Maye this week

[Water Boy]

Its been reported that Maye has gotten about 30 percent of the practice snaps this week.

My theory is not that they are anxious to start him soon, but they may be forced to start him soon given the number of free rushes the Oline has and will likely continue to give up. I give major credit to Brissett's ability to be Houdini in avoiding the rush in Week 1, but it may only be a matter of time before he's jacked up and needs to come out.

It's a sticky wicket as they say in the old country.

Everyone knows that Maye is the Franchise, but Jacoby earned the starting job. You just can't take it away on a whim and certainly not when Jacoby has played good. Good enough to win.

62% passing and 121 yards is not good but it is good he didn’t lose the game for our other worldly defense and run game Mac “Backfoot” Jones style.

Seems logical really ... regardless of talent ... the backup should have a decent amount of reps.

 

[Foxypats]

They are slowly getting him ready for game day. He is the future, it makes sense that they allow him to take snaps with the starting line. A lot of backups take snaps with the scout team, but not someone you know is going to be the starter eventually.

Good news to me. I do want to see him start this year. Week 5 is looking even more logical now with tua likely not playing. Drake wont have to put up a ton of pts there and i could see rham gashing them too after what cook did last night so it could be more of a manager type game. Ideally we are 2-2 heading into that game needing a boost offensively.

If we somehow do start 3-1 though and jacoby is playing well id think of delaying it. Risky to make a qb change and put that kind of pressure on the rookie to keep pace if the team is .750 and gaining momentum.

 

[Brotherblues]

Kinda see it as a complete nonstory. Of course Maye is getting more reps than the average backup. This ain't your normal starter/backup setup.

 

[archstanton543]

How the mighty have fallen. We're talking about reps for the backup (granted the backup who's the future face of the franchise).

Mayo confirmed that they’ve been doing this specifically to develop him and prepare him to be the starter at some point, not just due to injury concerns

„Just do it already. This is downright malpractice for both of them. „

This is getting silly. Analysis from the SEVEN year vet who accomplished so much that I can’t remember if he ever even started.

Complete non-story being called malpractice …..jeez

The game is coming where:

1. The Pats are behind by 2 scores.
2. The run game is not producing enough.
3. The Pats must throw to have a chance to win.

The way the game unfolded it seemed like the strategy was to run the clock out and ride the lead to victory.

Probably the SF game which is likely a loss regardless. After that it is the Texans, best run defense they will face.

The "tough" schedule all of a sudden not looking so tough.
49ers and Bills are the only teams I'm afraid of.

Already beat the "Super Bowl Contender" Bengals (frauds with an overrated QB)
Seahawks travel cross country without top RB
Jets Defense has Williams and Gardner and then a bunch of who are they? Rodgers is still a question mark.
Dolphins look like they lost something from last year before Tua went down.
Texans we get at home, Stroud has started slow, solid team but no juggernaut But can stop the run and weak against the pass
Jaguars, Mid-team with a mid-QB
Titans: Will Levis makes a dumb play a couple times a game Latham, the 2nd tackle taken is a disaster in Pass protection.
Bears: Not giving up on Williams but he looked like crap and by then hope Maye is playing and Maye is better than Williams.
Rams: Great QB, good wr's assuming all healthy and rest of roster kind of bad
Colts: Terrible QB, can run a bit, terrible accuracy on throws
Cardinals: QB that can run but can't throw, no defense whatsoever
Chargers: Great QB, good tackles, no wr's and below average defense
Bills: Josh Allen a superman, overall roster is weaker than last year when we beat them

Just realized not many great teams, probably a product of the crappy QB play, as Brady pointed out the overall QB play these days is weak. Can I name 10 guys I think are very good? probably not.
.
I see 14-3 if we can just pass the ball past 5 yards in the air successfully. HA!

think you have this right... extra reps to get him set to replace Brissett at some point this season...

They might even up his practice reps even more if they can get the line to a point where they don't need jumbo packages, which was on 28% of the offensive snaps vs cincy... and that's 28% with an additional lineman... doesn't take into consideration them keeping a tight end in to block...

@Ian pretty sure you mean Caedan Wallace, not Courtney Wallace Jr...

 

[Thelonious]

I guess I see this as part of "The Plan." After all the message-bumbling, I was pretty skeptical about the plan, but it's actually falling into place pretty well, it now seems to me. I probably should not have been as distracted as I was by Mayo's incompetence at the mike. It was frustrating, but not really all that relevant to the team's success, and Mayo does seem to be getting the hang of it anyway.

They are slowly getting him ready for game day. He is the future, it makes sense that they allow him to take snaps with the starting line. A lot of backups take snaps with the scout team, but not someone you know is going to be the starter eventually.

As Mayo said, the team is giving Brissett the reps necessary to prepare for the game while continuing to develop Maye. The competition is between how Brissett does on game days and how well Maye executes in practice. Maye will start if/when he is the better option. As long as Mayo is up front about the change, the players will understand.

This Sunday, the Pats face a QB who can pass the ball to 2 excellent WRs and he has mobility.

I will be very surprised to see Seattle struggle to score points like Cincinnati.

I heard that interview after I posted. Seems logical too.

Agree, I think Geno is a better QB than Brissett at this point to be honest, he had his up and downs, being drafted by the jets can do that to a QB, but somehow he established who he is as a QB in this league and is a starter de facto.

The Pats have a shot but this isn't an easy game at all.

People keep saying the Bills have lost a lot of talent without mentioning Poyer and Hyde were old men that were a detriment to their defense, AND they were injured, that Tre White was a shadow of himself, that Milano was on IR and wasn't playing, but meanwhile the front 4 are all back and look better than ever.

Also, they fired their idiot OC Dorsey in the middle of the year and they immediately improved.

The Bills look like the old Patriots in terms of team buildup, very few stars but a lot of depth from players who are taking over from old vets.

Also, the Jets defense has more than those 2 players (Gardner and Williams). In case you didn't notice, Johnson was a Pro Bowler last year, the other Williams is good too, Mosely as well, and finally Will McDonald is a better version of Josh Uche.
