Patriots Pregame Thread 2023 Week 2 OFFICIAL Pre-Game Thread: Patriots vs Dolphins (EDIT: was Phish chatter)

[One-If-By-Sea]

The fact they didn’t elevate any OL tells me Onwenu as stated above will be back but guessing Strange will also be available hopefully

Even back half time would good for Strange.

 

[PowerRunRevival]

Good sign for the pats OL. Phillips might not play for the dolphins either.

I think the game could hinge on the o-line. Dolphins got run all over last week, if the starting guards are back that should go a long way. I'm a little worried about the tackle spot if Brown doesn't go though. The offense would benefit a lot from a balanced attack, they really didn't run well last week and historically haven't really been able to run on the Dolphins recently.

White is a rookie. Always better to slowly ramp up playing time as he has never had a 17 game season. Learning a lot so feed the learning curve at a rate he can manage to avoid burnout.

Yes, that makes perfect sense. Having him coming in as sub rusher, and he actually played alot against eagles. I like the depth we have. A nice rotation to keep guys fresh. Another guy I'd like to see in the rotation more is Sam Roberts.. strong, quick, excellent against the run can rush the passer.

Agreed. To be clear I also agree with your original comment. White should start over Wise, IMO, but not until Year 2.

And yes, you are right about Roberts, but he is even more raw than White. We saw Roberts repeatedly over run the play in the last pre-season game. Very strong and Roberts should contribute next year I am guessing. I took Uche three years. White appears more flexible and quicker than Roberts. Roberts looks more like a Wise clone to me, White is a step above both.

If they all end up at 1an1 it will no be a four way tie, as the Pats will be the only undefeated team in the AFC east. Therefore #1!!!!!

Wouldn't the Jete also be undefeated in the division?

Wynn and Winovich. Double revenge game!

With those two on the field, it’s a Wynn-Win situation for us..

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

Agreed. Reagor promotion means what? Short on receivers? Kick off returner instead of Monty?

I am answering my own questions- haha. I think BOB will use Reagor as a gadget guy, with end around for example, and 2 or 3 routes, all deep routes. I think Parker is a great receiver but his inability to stay healthy is mind blowing. Parker is always hurt and it seems to be different ailments. Reagor replaces Parker as a deep threat and as a gadget guy, I am guessing. 15 plays all game?

Best line from Gil (ever, maybe?) responding to Gino's "I smell superbowl" - Gil comes back with "I smell sausage and peppers."

BTW, Reagor is allegedly faster than his 4.47 combine time:

NFL Draft 2020: Eagles weren't scared by Jalen Reagor's 40 time at combine

There were two top receivers in the 2020 draft class Howie Roseman expected to run sub-4.40 times in the 40-yard dash at the combine. One was Henry Ruggs III. The other was Jalen Reagor. Ruggs III did his part. He ran a blazing 4.27, the fastest time among all participants at the combine and...

Your obsession with Mac Jones and anyone who defends him borders on insanity.

Nothing I wrote had really anything to do with Mac Jones other than the RPO and play action doesn't work without a threat of a running game, but that is true with virtually any QB. I wasn't making excuses for him nor his receivers. ...

Come on Rob, you're like a battered woman defending their abusive partner when it comes to Mac Jones. No blame can be attributed and every excuse under the sun will be used to excuse behavior.

In case anyone missed it:

Really hope Jon Jones can go. His importance vs tyreek is no secret.

Any word on armstead’s chances to play?

If we have at least one of strange and Trent, I’d love to see the run game get going. This would be an ideal game to lean on it. If they’re going to play 2 high with fangio, let’s get the run going, continue to use bunches/stacks, and see Mac keep it up with the anticipatory throwing
