Patriots Player Departure Jabrill Peppers Released (Update: Signs w/Steelers)

[Huckleberry1]

He was a great pick.

There was only one Rodney, my friend. Extremely hard to find a reasonable facsimile. Woodson seems to have all the tools. I'll settle for a good Woodson, and trust that Vrabel is filling his roster with players who can execute the game plan.

Agree completely Rodney was one of a kind.

 

[Huckleberry1]

So he pretty answers the question that Vrabel demoted Dugger and released Peppers because they aren't compatible in his scheme. Analysts have said Vrabel wants back peddlers and those two aren't it. Peppers doesn't seem to realize the coverage in the back end has been atrocious since McCourty left.

Yep. I think Vrabel wants to attack with his front 6-7, and defend with his secondary. Get pressure on the QB and get them to make bad decisions throwing the ball.

Bet he picks off Maye in two weeks.

I am putting so much money down on him getting a pick. I bet he’ll have a cute cryptic tweet after the game when they win, too.

The revenge of Tomlin.

Pitt had a really good FA. Watch him roll into Foxboro and leave with a convincing win.

Maye fans will blame McDaniels.

 

[WhatJustHappened]

Who had Maye throw the ball 46x vs 18 runs?
Musta been BB...or Jordon even....fk, Coulda been Matt Patricia!
Maye wasn't good, but he didn't call the plays.

It's bad when we blame the play caller. They couldn't run the ball. They showed that. Blame that on the play caller? Excuse the players and the OL coaches, and the RB coaches? I don't think so.

Surprised @Huckleberry1 didn't accuse you of being Steelers fans

I watched Bedard’s analysis, and David Andrews analysis (Andrews would certainly know) and both said the line was outright awful run blocking and that most of it was poor fundamentals and bad chemistry.

Andrews questioned not settling on a starting 5 much earlier in camp and rolling with it.

He seemed to believe more reps will solve a lot of it.

Bedard said similar but also a concerning nugget was that Onwenu was not good.

A guy that big shouldn’t have trouble opening holes.

Bedard thinks he’s out of shape.

If that’s true, I think they HAVE to trade him in the offseason.

He’s been out of shape every season after getting his deal.

Truth

David Andrews commented on this, but what the hell does he know.

The run game was not happening because like all good defenses, you stop the run first.

That means there are opportunities in the pass game if you have a QB good enough to take advantage of them.. The Raiders were daring Maye to throw because they don't fear him at all. Maye is supposed to be this bigtime NFL QB. Did not look like it. 1/3 of Mayes completions were at or behind the LOS - dink and dunker ball. Many of Mayes downfield throws were 10 feet high over the receiver. I know, McDaniel's is to blame.

I hope this is not shaping up as another Drew Bledsoe lovefest blaming the OC, WRs, TEs, OL and HC for Mayes sorry performances.

Who the hell is their rights minds would want that bum with his Contract?? Not even in an alternate universe... the Patriots are gonna have to cut their losses with him. Onwenu is not very good.

You're making EXCUSES for Josh, that fkn game plan was ATROCIOUS.
I'm CERTAINLY NOT giving Maye ANYTHING, I thought he sucked, and said so on here.
The game was close, and Jackoff McDaniels was calling plays like he had seasoned TFB back there.

Edit: Sorry about that.

No reason to not blame the group, but it's kind of crazy to give up on running the ball ENTIRELY like Josh did.

Go wipe off your chin, that look is fkn embarrassing.

Bah

You and I are saying the same thing in much different ways

Skippy strikes again. Can't wait for week 2's head scratcher.

Bedard proving the 'Blind Squirrel' theory with that.

Maye missed open targets. Offensive line looked like it was blocking in quicksand. Everybody looked slow. A lot of thinking. Andrews hit the nail on the head - more reps for a starting OL earlier and maybe they play better.

 

[captain stone]

Maye fans will blame McDaniels.

Yep, and Skippy's fans will blame the QB (& others) when in fact it's Both OC And QB who Suck.
