I'm really enjoying watching Sark's offense. What a creative well oiled machine. I'm very envious. Lots of plays like we used to see from Charlie Weiss.

Ole Miss beats Georgia and Georgia Tech beat Miami.

Ashton Jeanty is a beast…bro has 20TDs this season already and 1500 rushing yards!

It be nice if we could draft him late in the first if he still there. But honestly he might be top 5-10 pick if he wins the Heisman trophy.

Ole Miss beats Georgia and Georgia Tech beat Miami.

The Ole Miss QB is the real deal.

How pathetic is Michigan?

 

[Jim Beankie]

Carson Beck out of the 1st round at this point.

 

[PaulThePat]

The Ole Miss QB is the real deal.

He looks/feels very similar to another Ole Miss QB we know, Matt Corral. Perhaps that's just the kind of QB Kiffin likes.

Love Dart....Round 1 QB to me...Little raw, but great arm and athleticism

Carson Beck out of the 1st round at this point.

Was never a fan...I've followed UGA pretty heavily for the last 15 seasons and I preferred Murray, Fromm, and Bennett as college QBs....Beck is a R3-4 guy to me

He looks/feels very similar to another Ole Miss QB we know, Matt Corral. Perhaps that's just the kind of QB Kiffin likes.

Corral I liked a lot as well, but he was way more raw and not as good a passer as Corral

Speaking of Charlie Weiss, his son is the OC of Ole Miss, another creative, well oiled machine. IF they dump AVP (I hope they do), who has shown zero creativity, I’d love the Pats to hire Charlie Weiss Jr. as the OC. He’s young, bright, and has worked for some great offensive minds, his dad, Lane Kiffin and Sark.

I like your suggestion. As a practical matter, he's probably a lot more get-able to come in as OC than Sark would be as HC/GM. I don't think the Krafts would be interested in trying to outbid TX for Sarkesian (not sure they would even have the resources even if they were willing to).

What are the boards thoughts on Tyler Warren - TE - PSU? Not. Comparing him as a player. But, body type he reminds me of Kelce. Has great hands, can run after catch. Even throw a little and long snap.

Definitely in the top 5 and seems to be gaining popularity. I have not seen him play but a few websites seem to rate him highly. I think he is more a traditional TE with respect to size 6ft 6 and 258lbs according to one website.

This weekends games that maybe of interest...

Texas Longhorns v Arkansas
Utah v Colorado
LSU v Florida
Tennessee v Georgia (must win for Georgia ??)
Clemson v Pittsburgh

Apologies if I have missed any obvious match ups

 

[Scotty]

Arkansas need to get some offence going.

Arkansas need to get some offence going.

Their D playing tough though.

 

[Scotty]

Yes , still time for them to get things together.

 

[Pats-Phan]

I think Hunter is the player who can play CB and WR ?......not sure if this would be a good thing potentially getting two players with one draft choice , but would it work in the NFL....I don't know.

If we went for a WR then it would be McMillan. However , based on play so far and other forum members comments I would find it difficult next year not to trade down and get as much quality picks as possible. We have our QB , but need so many other positions addressed.

Need to have a good 2025 draft

That is the type of thinking that led us to having an anemic offense. The Patriots are in desperate need of a number one option in the passing game and most if not all of those guys will be unwilling to come here in FA. You don’t need a top 10 pick to build an OL. We need to walk away from this draft with one of Tet or Hunter.

Both defences have got some good players.

Yeah, thats an option, will be interesting to see which way they go.
