With no Reshad Jones, #Patriots need to be feeding Gronk all game today

Rivers Davis And Grissom all inactive DEs.
At this stage I think those decisions say a lot. The de position has underperformed and it looks like the coaching staff is saying Claiborne isn’t the problem, Davis is.
Looks like Simon will have a role today too.
VERY interested in seeing what today’s iteration of scheme experimentation is.

Chatham was suggesting playing 5 men fronts with Shelton over the center and one proper LB (Hightower) behind. Should help Shelton and also minimize Elandon Roberts. We shall see..

Give him about a quarter of the snaps.

Calling a lb (or 2)up on the line a 5 man front is semantics to me.
I have always thought we are better with 4 dL a d 2 LBs than 3/3.
But as I’ve said probably too many times I think we are in the process of developing a new unique scheme designed to defend offenses in the eagle/chief mode, that is 3 with a TE that is a receiving weapon (faster than big) and a RB that could play wr.

Having Trey Flowers and Patrick Chung back should help our defense out

 

[Bourne Again Christian]

Eff it I want to see Gordon break records I think he is healthy and the Patriots are trying to catch the Dolphins sleeping.

 

[luuked]

Give him about a quarter of the snaps.

Depending on how the game goes somewhere between 10-20 snaps with getting targeted about 4-6 times sounds about right.

 

[italian pat patriot]

Go Gordon go

Avanti tutta !

RIVERS...

Inactive

He's not good. He might improve, as of right now he is not worth on game day.

K. Davis was playing better than him, although with lots of mistakes too, and is also inactive. I think Flowers and Wise are at 100%, otherwise he would be active, IMO.

This is it. We need to win this one

 

[Patjew]

I’m calling it now: Dwayne Allen will have single-digit catches today.

Can he break the single digit yards receiving though?!

 

[Patjew]

Can he break the single digit yards receiving though?!

Hey let’s not get nuts!

 

[luuked]

Just hope he gets through the game healthy and we don't get a replay of Martellus Bennett last year where it is straight to IR after a game.
