Game Day Thread OFFICIAL 2026 Preseason Game 1: Patriots vs Colts

Corners chasing Kyle Williams are at a disadvantage

 

[Ross12]

Are you saying he’s in / out ? Like, Brown isn’t playing because he’s a sure in.

Saying he's in, due to the same logic.

 

[Ross12]

He's always had them. He was the best at releasing in his draft class. It's the top of the route where he struggles.

He's a better short route WR than deep so far in his career due to that, but he has the speed to be a premier deep WR too. If he can put it all together, he could be a bona fide WR1. Will take time though.

The fact Douglas isn't even seeing the field tells us a lot about the WR depth chart

Yep. Douglas could easily be the odd man out

 

[Hammer of Thor]

nice play by Canada, good concentration by the Colts receiver.

 

[manxman2601]

Yes we've got 3 turnovers on defense, but the Colts are moving the ball quite easily. defensive depth is a little concerning.

 

[Ross12]

Yep. Douglas could easily be the odd man out

No, I'm saying I think he's a lock.

Invade Canada

I really like Devito. He really looks like he’s got the offense down. Spread the ball around. And I have to say, I love our weapons. Raridon, some nice catches and a few good blocks. Chism with a few nice plays, Williams with a great release and TD catch. WR Cameron Dorner, we have to sneak him on the practice squad, he’s looked really good.

Jacas looked good on defense so far. Britt made a nice run stuff.

Enjoying the game so far. A lot of fun.

This was not on display in season one

Ah, okay, sorry I missed that.

Thinking too much last year IMO. More comfortable in year 2.

I think the McCourty brothers plus Hoyer are giving good commentary; i’m learning stuff from them.

And as a play by play guy, it seems like Zolak chose not to be drunk, which helps. Probably the best preseason announcing crew overall we’ve had in a long tome, IMO.

I like Hoyer as an analyst - I enjoy listening to him, and he definitely provides great insight.

 

[manxman2601]

It was. there were plenty of reps where he was getting open immediately. Maye just wasn't trusting the rest of his route.

Hoyer's the man

 

[JayNM]

Only part im not liking is DL, especially the interior. Not a single one good snap so far

 

[ctpatsfan77]

I really like Devito. He really looks like he’s got the offense down. Spread the ball around.

I don't think he's going anywhere this year, but I suspect he's going to get a lot of buzz next year, especially if the Pats show they like Morton.

 

[manxman2601]

Jacas is getting sucked inside too much. Needs to show more discipline.

 

[DaBruinz]

Those idiot announcers are atrocious. They spend more time ball washing garbage than they do focusing on the team play.
