David Andrews gets it

This is the litmus test.

is a player committed to being the best contributor to team success that they possibly can be?

or are they more committed to their “brand”? To doing what they want and not doing what they don’t want? To acting as a decoy so another WR can make a catch that doesn’t pad their own stats? To respecting the coaches hired by the team? To being on time? Not busting curfew and then playing like crap the next day?

It’s pretty simple actually.

Was JC playing like crap though? Missed tackle Aside?

You don't understand.

performance doesn't matter.

What counts is attitude on a 2-8 team.

He has been late. So, he'll be cut and contribute elsewhere next year. jack Jones also. It is a matter of priorities. It is NOT putting the best team on the field each week. Rather it is putting the team that most respects Belichick and his rules. Ask Bourne, or a dozen others.

Explains Bryant’s snaps per game.

He was in coverage on both of Miami’s first two TDs.

J.C. Jackson got traded to the Patriots just to get scorched by Tyreek Hill again

That’s why you are willing to overlook giving up 2 TDs in one half, right?

 

[Brotherblues]

David Andrews has never not gotten it. One of the remaining few.

 

[TheRainMaker]

Aside from a very small number of players, the majority will cooperate when the team is winning and has other super star players in the locker room. The Pats only have Judon.

Agreed. Mac could’ve been another one, but he was not up to filling those shoes.

 

[50-yard-line]

Ah yes, the Patriot Way.

Good luck with that with the new generation of athletes.

Will. Not. Work.

It still works.

When there is winning.

We had this experience before when the Patriots rejoiced in having a kinder coach when moving from Parcells to Carrol. Let's see if this can produce a playoff contender here. Hasn't really yet but we all live in a fantasy world now, so let's go for it.

JC probably told Little Stevie to GFY. A big no-no in Foxsboro. Ask Malcolm.

Maybe his attitude is correct, no sense in winning any meaningless games at this point and ruining the draft position.

Just think, we have a potential top 3 pick if the team keeps it up.

This will be the first time decades we can look at the entire draft board and not say we have no chance of getting that guy

Patriot experience with NFL coaches outside the big 4 (Fairbanks, Berry, Parcells, Belichick):

Holovak '67-'68
Rush '69-70
Mazur '70-71
Bengston '71-72

FAIRBANKS (6 Seasons)

Erhardt '79-81
Meyer '82-84

BERRY '84-89 (6 Seasons)

Rust '90
McPherson '91-92

PARCELLS '93-96 (4 Seasons)

Carroll '97-99

BELICHICK (24 Seasons)

In between our excellent coaches we seem to hire quite a few duds. And by duds I mean guys who can't even last more than 3 years.

explains Parker's extension

where exactly would that not be a big no no?

are there teams that routinely let players tell off their position coaches/coordinators with impunity?

This isn't peewee football. These are grown ass men. Men can disagree w/o it becoming a federal crime. Unless, it's w/ Little Steve, then it's grounds for a benching.
