Mac Jones Injury Video [UPDATE - X-Rays were negative]

[upstater1]

A few LBs and a few CBs is literally half a defense.

2 out of 11 = 5.5???

As I said, we may have our CBs. We just drafted 2, one is a rookie who plays regularly. The other is supposedly more talented.

We need 2 LBs.

Burrow? I watched Burrow the last 3 games. Mac can be as good if not better than Burrow. Did you watch Burrow throw wobblers the other night?

I watched Burrow take his team to the Super Bowl, and have you watched Mac the last few games?

We're one tackle, a few LBs, and (depending on Marcus Jones / Jack Jones) a few CBs away from being on top of the league again. We just need some continuity and consistency with this coaching staff. But as far as personnel, we are not very far away at all. Bill the GM has a big draft and summer coming up, but the holes are few, whether they come from FA and the draft.

Tackle, 2 LBs, maybe a CB depending, and figure out WRs depending on Tyquan when he comes back.

I disagree. This team has maybe 3 or 4 above average, talented players (Judon, Barmore, JoJones, Rham). The rest are either older avg veterans or jags and a few TBDs. This is not a team full of talent where 4 players will make a difference unless you're talking about bringing in Wirfs, Donald, Wagner, JC Horn type players. We know Bill won't set position records to sign elite FAs and his drafts have been suspect. Then there's Mac, who I like, and blame the coaches for his regression. Is it possible he sees a 3rd different set of coaches and schemes in his 3rd year? TBD.

Mac Jones out
Tua out
Now Brice Young is out (throwing shoulder)
I’d be worried if I was Jalen Hurts or Joe Namath

Burrow is a good model for Mac's ceiling. He does not wow you with his raw ability, I watched him throw 3 passes in a row behind his receivers who made the catches. Being in sync with his receivers is something Mac needs to develop more than a rocket arm or super accuracy.

Give him a break, just a little numerator-denominator issue

1/5.5

He played horribly. Did you really watch it?

It would be a team without weaknesses. The type of teams Belichick wins with.

We had Gilmore in 2019, but other than him, there were no all-pros on that defense. We won with Jason McCourty opposite him, and a bunch of linebackers like Elandon Roberts, DEs like Trey Flowers.

These are the guys that gave up 3 points to a top 10 offense in NFL history.

The more I read your posts, it seems you're counting on bringing in top talent, which is something Belichick has never done. He's won with solid players who played their position well, and he's won with depth.

You forgot to mention the HOF QB that was the leader of those sub par talented teams, who had a knack for leading the team to comeback victories. Aside from that small fact, I agree with you.

 

[crawhammer]

Watch one of the 31 other head coaches then, since they all do what you're looking for

Seriously, it's his kinder/gentler way to be a stone wall curmudgeon. He's always regarded information as a thing of value, to be used to one's advantage and hoarded if you can imagine it can confer an advantage... and yeah, he can always imagine that.

It might just be Stupid Belichick Stuff, if you believe he was just along for the Brady ride, or it might be a lot of why this team has 6 Lombardis. Seven, if you count the time Mike was on the payroll.

No, I don't believe Belichick has ever won a game at a press conference. Is there one example of when blatantly withheld information has led to an on field advantage for the Patriots? It's just another thing nebulously attached to winning with the GQB.

In fairness to Mac he's not throwing to anyone nearly as talented as Chase. In fairness to Burrow he's talented enough to be considered a top 10 quarterback in the NFL.

Thanks Mr Manager. Keep up those great interviews lol

I honestly have no clue what you're even talking about at this point...

Whether Mac is held back by his targets and coaching 'transition' or Burrow rates higher due to results on the field, this is a good comp for future Mac. Burrow's physical capabilities are not off the charts. He is successful because he is able to exploit the high level talent around him. Chase seems to be able to come up with a few disruptive plays a game. In between he sets the table for the other parts of the offense. Burrow also seems to be a better reacting spontaneously to game situations. If Mac does his part and the team gains a number one receiver there is no reason that the Pats should have top 10 QB play. Probably not 2005+ TB12 set at QB, but set enough to compete. Can't wait for Ty to get off the IR.

Yes, he was fantastic in the game I'm talking about. Put up 13 points. What a performance!!! Did he play defense too? I don't remember that.

But that defense gave up 3 points to a team scoring 34 points a game.

Funny how you don't mention that about the subpar talented team.

And the year before that same D gave up 41 pts to a back-up QB while our QB was having a SB record performance. Funny how you don't mention that SB.

Top 10 offense in NFL history?

 

[JayNM]

His recovery is astonishing, but I hope they aren't forcing anything

Is this the game you are talking about?

How could dumb Bill have traded Mason? Just look at the All-Pro caliber intensity in his eyes as he watches his man force a fumble, sealing a victory for the Eagles.

He was dumb enough to hire a QB in 2020 who just flat out refused to jump on a loose ball in the Super Bowl.

So there's that.

How many hundred times are you going to post about 52, 42 and 46? And what do they have to do with Mac Jones's injury updates? Troll continues to take shots at Brady no matter what the thread a about. Seriously, what kind of a Pats fan lives to happily share the worst crushing Patriots moments with other Patriots fans? What a great contribution to the topic at hand.
