Sanu has been talked up a lot for his abilities by other players in the league (cannot find quotes at the moment), part of me thinks that a good portion of the fan negativity towards him comes from his yappy chatter from being mic’d-up in the Pats/Falcons SB.
That said, I was definitely...
Not to overly defend Newhouse, but is anyone watching the rest of the line on this play?
Brady cannot step up into the pocket as Cannon is being beat by Graham and Michel is caught between helping on Graham vs. picking up the free blitzer.
If Brady has a pocket -- he steps up, Newhouse takes...
More important observations:
That's a lot of scissors. Why so many scissors?
Note the discrepancy between the cheap-o cabinet quality vs. the professional cable routing job for the Xbox.
Leather watch bands on Tom's casual day
Aside from learning the lesson to never use the word peccadillos (note correct spelling that I specifically researched) in a public forum, upon reflection I feel like I could have better asked the question another way:
Does Tom Brady exhibit behaviors that would be unacceptable to BB from...
Unfounded speculation to follow below
Belichick is noted for his disciplinary approach, he who is most-prepared plays, etc. But he also coached Lawrence Taylor, and recognized that his on-the-field talent and smarts outweighed his off-the-field habits. There is a famous story floating around...
Non-Patriots and probably only relevant to the west coasters
I used to watch Teyo Johnson play TE for Stanford (as well as basketball!), and thought he was going to light it up in the NFL. As big as Gronk, super-athletic, young.
Then he ends up in Oakland as a 2003 2nd rounder, and was never...
My take on the article was a little bit different. I agree with your point that the Pats would not care about the TB12 diet as long as strength/weight was being maintained.
Where I suspect Guerrero became problematic was if he started contradicting the conditioning staff, i.e. "Don't rehab with...
I might be crazy, but I could have sworn I heard an errant ref (or fan) whistle that I thought disrupted the field goal timing.
Anyone hear similarly or any player comments to that effect?
My recollection of recent Super Bowls is that defense tends to define the 1st half, offense defines the 2nd half.
Challenging my own recollections:
I'm no Ernie Adams, but seems like a general bias towards the offense late as coaching/fatigue kicks in.
Haven't watched the replay of the Dorsett catch, but I remember my thoughts at the time:
1) I remember thinking it was a very difficult catch to make, in that he needed to come back through the defender to make it
2) I remember thinking that we needed badly for another receiver to step up...
Errrr....onside
While obviously a little bummed about the final score, I did kind of enjoy how unwilling the commentators (and Scott Van Pelt) were to call the game's outcome. It was almost like you see them thinking "well, a 17 point lead with 5 minutes to go should wrap it up, but we've seen...
I know he left on a bad note, but Jamie Collins' extra point block was a pretty cool moment. It was a reminder that while the Patriots play for wins and not for stats, there are some seriously talented athletes making that happen.
I agree with most of this, especially the impact of the loss of Edelman which has to have directly impacted Brady's hold time.
It's a great reminder that a team is the sum of its working parts. Just like there's no value in having a V8 engine in a car that's only intended to go to the grocery...
I am cracking up at that dump of a visitor's locker room.
In this age of level playing fields, centralized refereeing, and minimizing home field advantages, the visitor's locker room one of the last bastions of the meta-game that goes on outside the field.
I wonder who has the "best" and...
I was re-watching the big Devonta Freeman catch in the 4th quarter of the Super Bowl. The defense had been playing well and the Pats momentum was high following the 2-point conversion to narrow the gap to a one-score game. The Falcons were pinned deep, and suddenly the defense gives up a...
No offense taken to any of the pushback on the "conspiracy theory" -- but as the other poster(s) indicated, why would the Giants do this?
Here are the things the Giants did do:
Took their own initiative to measure the football pressure (explicitly against the rules, and highlighted as part of...
