Gotta give this dude major props, he called James White having a big game

Patriots Super Bowl LI breakout pick vs. Falcons: James White

Unbelievable.

I wonder how much time of the two weeks preparations Quinn devoted to White?



And how do you prepare for this “not the most talented“ receiving unit?

Pats depth chart now would read:
#1 Edelman
#1 Hogan
#1 Bennett
#1 Mitchell
#1 Amendola
#1 White

or vice versa

Julio Jones was again magnificent. One of the best receivers I've seen.
But everyone knows how much time Pats devoted to prepare for him..

And despite perceived as “not the most talented“ .. they are setting records after records..

Against Houston (another of the 3 most critical games after the byes) Lewis set new records . now White setting Super Bowl records for most catches (14) and receiving yards (110) by a running back

Here Riess article about White's unlikely night..

White would not be denied. He should have been MVP, give him the car Tom!

I know that "self praise is no praise" but I called this in the Thread "Football Outsiders".
I hate to brag but I am going to on this occasion.

That snap break down is really interesting. I understand why Blount had less, especially after he fumbled but I wonder why they leaned on White so much? I've always seen Lewis and White as somewhat interchangeable.

What was the edge, pass blocking? pass catching? Or just staying with a hot hand?

Not just White .. this is the point:

Seems the Quinn/Seahawks style of defense has a weakness with a receiving back. Similar to Shane Vereen in SB49, only better this time around.

I'm still in awe of what an accomplishment the team pulled out.

How many 2pt conversions did the Pats run all year? Amazing.

How many 2pt conversions did the Pats run all year? Amazing.

Prior to SB51, they were 1-2 in 2-point conversions.

My hope was that Lewis and White would have big games considering the weaknesses of the Falcons defense. It took a little while to get things going but White stepped up big.

White was amazing. He even had a little success running the ball. He made people miss repeatedly when the game was on the line. I will love him forever... He is officially welcomed into the Faulk-Woodhead-Vereen "super awesome 3rd down backs" club.

I can just hear Paul Perillo on PFW saying he knew the White guy would be the star.

I owe James White an apology for what I said about him in the game day thread. I was very critical. Now, it was out of pure anger and frustration, as I've lauded him all season. He stepped up. Someone called for the Caulk direct snap, and we even got that last night. James White, you balled out! If ever there was a time where co- MVP's would have been fine with me, it was last night. Though I will say that I'm stoked Brady got it.
