I‘ve never watched sports much outside of the Pats - too many commercials, games too long, too many meaningless games, tedious pace of play, etc. The only thing I miss is reading the box scores and articles during the work day. It was an easy bit of escapism: a cheap way to think about and...

So you would want: DT+DE -> DL OLB -> EDGE Or: DT-> DL OLB+DE -> EDGE Or is it a player-by-player distinction? One nice feature of the current setup is that it matches the official Patriots depth chart so there's no subjectivity and it's harder to miss players, as well as giving the added...

Hey cool. I made this tool many years ago - glad to see people are still using it. Let me know if you want any improvements. I feel like the first initial in the name is unnecessary? Maybe add salary cap info?

Yeah, makes me think they have given up on extending Thuney and this was one of their backup options. The dead money on Chung goes up and that's not something they wanted to do if they could've avoided it.

Brady/Boop?

We got a 3rd round compensatory pick for losing Flowers. For context, two similarly-talented D-line players were franchised in 2019: Clowney and Dee Ford and traded for a 3rd round pick and a 2nd round pick, respectively. So maybe a team would've been desperate enough to give up a 2nd rounder...

Makes sense. Generally, it's accepted that a draft pick in the current year's draft is worth a pick one round earlier in the subsequent year. So a player with pre-existing injury that needs to miss a year would be devalued by about a round. Cajuste was picked with the penultimate pick of the...

There are guys (like Cajuste) that we thought were good enough to draft with a pre-existing injury like Marcus Canon, Dominique Easley, Brandon Tate, etc. Then you have the guys that got hurt in training camp like Isaiah Wynn, Derek Rivers, Duke Dawson, etc. Then there are guys who got hurt...

Jesus. Look guys, I already have to suspend disbelief so that a bunch of 20-somethings running around in tights for millions of dollars becomes something that I care enough about to watch like 380 Bud Light commercials every year for: don't make this even more fake.

Ah, I meant Active/PUP.

I could see us cutting or PUP-ing Sanu (zero dead money if cut) and going with Edelman, Harry, Byrd, Thomas, Meyers/Lee.

I doubt that. Any successful leader loves to have highly capable people that they can delegate responsibilities to with confidence - Brady was one of the only players that ever got to that level (I'd imagine someone like Slater is also at that level). It will likely follow the same pattern we...

I think so, yeah. Judging by how normalized the pandemic seems to have become and how well healthy people under 40 seem to handle it. I highly doubt we'll have fans in the stands. If a player get Covid, maybe they'll be forced to sit out for a set period of time (like the concussion...

Some optimistic thoughts: Week 6 bye isn't ideal, but 3 consecutive weeks in LA/MIA in the winter will be a nice reprieve. We play all of the most entertaining teams in the league (missing maybe only the Bucs and Saints). I like how the AFC East matchups are weighted towards the end of the...

2004 was the peak. Two main reasons: The most likable team: Harrison, Bruschi, Vrabel, Wilfork, Ted Johnson, Seymour, Ty Law, Warren, McGinest, Colvin, Watson, Branch, Faulk, Dillon, Troy Brown, Vinatieri, etc. Beating our two biggest rivals of the decade in the playoffs - who were the #1...

Draft coverage used to be so... clear.

Or other McDaniels busts like Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker? We all have Chad Jackson PTSD, I get it, but it doesn't have to be this way man.

Only other player I can think of who did that was Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Most importantly, we'll be able to hear all the regretful self-talk by overmatched Jets QBs in real time.

With all the talk of "getting separation", remember that Harry's specialty is body control, boxing-out and making tough catches. Harry caught 53.2 percent of his contested targets at Arizona State, which was the second-highest percentage among receivers in [the 2019] draft class. At the...
