#FreeKendrickBourne -- Should Kendrick Bourne start against Steelers in Week2?

[VJCPatriot]

Kendrick Bourne was the Patriots leading receiver in 2021 with 800 yards and 5 TDs.

But to everyone's surprise, Kendrick Bourne didn't see the field until the 4th quarter of the opening game against Miami. He immediately impacted the game with a 41 yard reception. So why didn't he see the field earlier?

Ty Law weighs in on the Kendrick Bourne situation:


Kendrick Bourne discontent?


Should Kendrick Bourne start against the Pittsburgh Steelers?

Should BB extend the olive branch and remove Kendrick Bourne from the 'doghouse' in the interest of winning our next football game?

No RLKAG option. This poll is invalid.

Yes it’s a no brainer. ****ing ridiculous that he sat and was pulled immediately after making the biggest offensive play of the game.

Late to a meeting.

Kraft unhappy he didn’t play.

 

[VectorPrime]

Should we have played Malcolm Butler in the Super Bowl?

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

He did the crime and paid the time (and then some). Time to move on and play him

Wow so RK reads this message Board give the owner and fans what they want BB or you'll be sitting with them.

I think Bourne should be the third receiver. I'm fine with Parker and Meyers being the starters along side two TEs and an RB. Bourne should get every one of Agholor's snaps though.

 

[Pape]

I do not care if he starts against Pittsburgh. Starting is only playing the first play of the game

But I do want him to play all four quarters.

I don't think we are are ever going to see our returns on Agholor boy we overpaid.

I haven't seen anything out of Parker to suggest he needs to be on the field for every offensive snap.

No, he noticed that Bourne wasn’t playing according to Curran.

Congrats to Boston Sports Talk whining mediots, you've found your talking point of the week!

Callers filling the lines to say how much more their butt hurts than the last caller.

Curran even got to take a shot at Matty P, his favorite whipping boy these days.

"Patricia's doghouse" turns out to just be standard Patriots protocol around being late:

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Oh FFS if its patricia keeping him off the field….

 

[Zuma]

This isn't Jonas Gray...play the man ! And my favorite all-time Pats player is Rodney...so I don't give a ****.

"Bourne was late to the stadium before the Panthers game and sent home just a few days after getting thrown out of a joint practice for fighting. Recent word is Bourne’s playing time is expected to increase after only a couple snaps in Miami."

 

[TheRainMaker]

This is one of those things where Mac has to step in and let Matt know who he wants in the game.

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

Bourne needs to stay in the bench, playing him, might adversely affect the Pats draft position, which is about all they are playing for this year.

Yeah Zuma, from what I'm hearing, we'll be seeing more of Bourne going forward. Should be interesting to see who see's less time but I'm thinking after that Agholar's fumble, it might be him.
