Patriots Pregame Thread 2025 Patriots @ Cryami - Early thoughts

[captain stone]

Who is Pierce?

I believe that Ochmed meant Antonio Gibson...

 

[captain stone]

Or, you know, play more like Mac Jones, and not sail and ignore checkdowns.

That would be a good start...

Might not be a bad thing: I'm not impressed with corpse Moses. The more reps for Bryant the better: he might be our future there. Bryant making the 53 is a nice story for a Seventh Rounder.

 

[Brady to Maye]

Not as a good of a start as @BobDigital but here you go. Kill the fish or 0-2, thoughts?

I'm thinking it's a first win against the Dullphins in Miami in a while and that Vrabel uses the Raiders game to get the team focused. What say you?

Just win, baby…

Yeah, that's kind of what i am thinking to.

Just win, baby…

Yeah, That is what I am thinking too. I am disappointed that Gonzales will not to playing for the second week in a row. I t will be harder without him.

But starting might not be so nice. Unless one is a Dolphin edge rusher. Dude did a nice job in the preseason playing against practice squad and backup players.

We need Henderson & Williams on the field a lot more. I’d like to see Chism as well.

Jennings seemingly was close to on the outs and he had a decent preseason game 3 so it will be interesting to see if he can build on that momentum.

Yep. And I do think we already have enough on the line to bring pressure to the QB. Jennings can as well it seems but I'm good knowing we have someone who can focus on holding the edge if we need it.

I’m interested to see Jennings and how he performs compared to White. Also very curious why they’ve held onto an open roster spot for days now.

Can you imagine if Jennings has a great game. I don't know if that would put White further down the depth chart but more rotational reps might be considered for Jennings if that were the case.

Yeah that’s my point. Barmore back in his 1st game after health issues probably was gassed early. I don’t think Williams played a ton of reps when he was with Philly. He may have played more in the playoffs and Super Bowl though.

Barmore was the 3rd highest double-teamed interior DL guy in week 1.

An aside, i see adam butlers name close to the top didn't he play here?

 

[VrabelJr]

Yes. Solid guy. He’s made a good career for himself.

That said these double metrics applied to DTs are not that useful. There’s two Guards and one Center against 2 DTs. Someone is always going to get doubled at DT.

 

[PatsfanTN]

Man I want them to win, but I don’t have a great feeling after last weeks dumpster fire. I guess I’m one of those you have to prove it to me guys. I gotta see improvement.

Maybe working on a trade?
Or a Free agent safety like Simmons?

They have to have a eye out for someone right?

I'm going to guess they are gonna sign someone from the PS to the 53 and are just waiting to do it til the last moment because they think it'll create some kinda competitive advantage. But I'm not sure who that would be. Jennings? Swinson? Dippre? Ballentine?

I don't see the open roster spot as indicating much. If needed, it is pretty easy to open an additional spot.

Pats record in Miami during the dynasty run bookend championships was 8-10 against a lot of really bad Dolphins teams. It was also their best ever stretch in Miami by far.

Their record in Miami outside of the dynasty is a putrid 9-33.

It's maddening that their HFA is so ridiculous against us.

I’d prefer Swinson but it will pry be Ballentine.

I hope Chism earns and sees some snaps this week.
