Dr. Z on the Pats running game

[andyguitar]

Good article from Paul Zimmerman at SI.com

I saw two things with that Patriot ground game, which looks like the best since (Curtis) Martin was on their team

I thought Dr. Z was an idiot just a couple of days ago? Is this the day he's smart again because he wrote something nice about the Patriots? Let me know when he turns stupid again.

I thought ...

If only this were true. Even once in a while.

But for now, can you show me in Post # 1 where andyguitar said Dr. Z was smart?

I never said he was smart, only he's usually got a interesting slant on things.
A question, if a writer is negative or derogatory to the Pats, are they dumb, or even simpler, plain wrong? Or are we just too damn defensive to let anyone knock our team?

Each circumstance is different, Zimmerman can put together some very educational articles when he's not celebrating his e-mail or latest wine discovery. Borges writes well, with a bias fit for a Raider's troll. It all depends...

He can't be that dumb. He hit the nail on the head when describing Light. Then again, maybe he's been reading this forum because it's been said here time and time again.

By the way, this was posted already:

was a good article... just somewhat surprised since he was talking about building the line and focused on the Pats at the end of the article that he didnt mention neither mankins, kazur (I know he hasnt played yet this year) or o'callighan, which I think are more proof of building the line and running game than drafting a rb which is the obvious

Like what he has to say about Matt Light..

I like Z quite a bit, actually. Any writer can put up some bone-head columns, but I like his outlook and his writing ...

That said, this is a little weird. He goes on and on about how you need to "build" a running game, and then he talks about the Patriots running hard "to adjust to a shift in personnel." The personnel shifted because the OC shifted, and he had a different vision of an offense. This was planned, and it had nothing to do with that Seahawk receiver signing or not signing.
