PostGame Thread Official Post Game Thread: Pats destroy the Browns

[NG Pats Fan]

LOL at posters who won’t let Harry go. He’s the worst WR I have ever seen who will be off the team at the end of the year. His “blocking” ability can we duplicated by any backup tight end

 

[TheRainMaker]

I'm waiting for Ryan Clark to buy a Pats jersey and wear it to these shows. LOL. He's not a guy I would have pegged to fanboi our team...

Yeah he’s been a pro Pats guy since being on ESPN which is strange given he didn’t have success as a Steeler against the Pats. You’d think he’d be bitter. It’s also funny how he comes across as such a mild mannered friendly guy, but could knock you out on the field. He was a vicious hitter.

Funny, not funny moment early in the game. Pats stop Browns only to have Uche blatantly and needlessly encroach the LOS. 5 yards, Browns still alive. A wicked pissed BB waives Uche over to him but camera shot moves away. Shortly thereafter camera back to view a still steaming BB speaking clearly into his chin mic "Bleeping bleep hole!" Uche in the canine home.

Harry doing good work as a blocker:

Love that first one where he pancakes Garrett. That was awesome.

No he doesnt even get the doghouse. Nike has that on lockdown. Uche is sleeping in the mud

Very true. And he wasn't always pro Pats he was calling us cheaters over spygate with the rest of them.

Uche will be getting some Special High Intensity Training from the coaching staff after that.

I'm just happy hes providing some value.

It’s taken them a while to get Bourne started, too, but he’s been coming on strong. There’s still plenty of the season for Smith to find his role, too. The money is already spent, so maybe let that go until the off-season, when it’s time to think about how to reallocate the money?

With Smith's contract, there is no way to reallocate next year's salary. His 2022 ($9 Million) & part of 2023 ($6.25 Million) are guranteed. The only way they could move on from him next year is to eat his contract to the tune of about $26 Million in dead money.

Yep. Uche is in a bad place.

Might have to do that. Or restructure, maybe followed by a trade?

Rumblings are that he just isn’t getting the playbook. That’s a fatal flaw here.

His blocking isn't even duplicated by our starting tight ends.

I believe Agholor has a similar situation. They'll each get one more year to show what they can do, because the team will gain absolutely nothing except roster space by cutting ties before 2023.

Anybody else have an extra spring in their step today?

Cloud 9 all day. Let's beat the falcons 28-3 in ~80 hours.

Trent Brown is an NFL coaches wet dream. A giant WITH athleticism

EASY pro bowl selection. Reminds me of Ogden

Yes exactly. Ogden, who was a.... left tackle by the way.

I mean, if Harry re-signs for league minimum, I'm not opposed to it, and it was still a monumental waste of a 1st round pick. The team does need a good-blocking TE2 because Jonnu is not a good blocker, Jonnu is a good yards-after-catch bad-blocking TE who they keep using as a blocker.

Maybe they should let each guy do what they're good at: Harry block and Jonnu in yards after catch.

 

[zydecochris]

Except he didn’t play a crappy team last year, it was an all SEC schedule.

True. The lowest ranked team (at the end of 2020) Alabama played last year was Tennessee (who had a bit of a down year), but it isn't like that is a joke football program.

On Smith and Algohor, I love this point by Patswire:

The free agency class has been a mixed bag — but, frankly, that’s how it goes in free agency. What Belichick did that was smart: create redundancy at positions where the Patriots couldn’t afford to whiff. They doubled their signings at receiver and tight end. So far, there is one signing that’s struggling to make an impact at each position — tight end Jonnnu Smith and receiver Nelson Agholor — and one that is thriving — tight end Hunter Henry and receiver Kendrick Bourne.

Lots of free agents don’t pan out, as we’ve seen. Doubling up creates competition and redundancy (in the good sense).

Realistically Smith is here for 2 more years. They can move on after 2023 paying him $37m and only have $3.75 in dead money

I guess a pre June 1 trade softens the blow a little...
