PostGame Thread Official Post Game Thread: Pats destroy the Browns

[JackBauer]

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

Just ask Matt LaCosse!

Harry 35 snaps (actually 8 more than Bourne).
LaCosse 9 snaps (I think most/all in garbage time).

So apparently Harry brings something LaCosse doesn't.

Harry contributed with his blocking.
Agholor (47 snaps to Meyer's 48) contributes by forcing a safety to stay back. So he's part of the run game too with his wind sprints, just indirectly. That long incompletion to Agholor was worth something in the chess match. Fantasy football isn't real football - it's easy for some fans to confuse the two.

How did he get hurt, did he hit the ground trying the tackle?

Not sure if someone else answered, but he led with his helmet into Meyers. Likely a neck stinger.

Diagnosis given in the announcement that he was released from hospital and returning to Cleveland was a cervical neck sprain. So, exactly as you surmised.

Yeah, we had to re-run the play several time where I was watching it to see how he injured himself, but yes that is exactly how he did it. It didn't help that the announcers were talking about him getting kneed to the chest.

 

[Rob0729]

One of the added benefits about yesterday is that a lot of supposed Pats fans who are actually Bucs fans now, but constantly trash Belichick, Jones, and the Pats are mostly persona non grata today. Without pointing fingers at individuals, some of these people are insufferable.

I don't really go to the Tom Brady forum. I assume they are there.

I think that we all underestimate the importance of an elite blocking wide receiver in Bill’s mind. You can also tell that Bill and Harry’s teammates are really pulling for him. What that says to me is that the guy is a good teammate and that probably he works his ass off, despite his trade request in the offseason. While he is virtually useless in the passing game, he really deserves credit, in my opinion, for putting aside his stat-based ego and giving consistent effort as their best blocking WR. In 2021 the norm would be to become a problem in the locker room and dog it on the field.

Not bad for a patchwork secondary that traded away its star CB.

...who wasn't going to play here anyway.

 

[Rob0729]

I think Bourne is the best WR on the team. Need to get him more involved.

I do wonder if having a good to great secondary is more important than having a potent pass rush in today's NFL

 

[long distance]

Yep. Mac barely outplays bums like Dugger, KVN, Bourne and Brown.

Pass rush which can bring pressure from 4-5 players from anywhere any day of the week.

 

[50-yard-line]

Sure that's fair. Obviously want to make use of him since we can't move him. Right now he basically blocks (not his strength) and goes on pass routes only 30% of his snaps. And his ideal plays like screens are being used by Bolden who is good at these .

With this oc they should have signed a great-blocking TE2 not a YAC, weak-blocking TE2 and relegate him to mostly blocking.

Did it ever occur to you that maybe they're trying to figure him out, maybe even to round him out, to complete his game, so to speak? He's here for four years. Four. Get used to it.

Bryant has been $ every position he lined up. Possibly most influential PS signing across the league esp. considering NE DB depth.

Ha, it's gotta be killing Kyed that maybe 5% of the people who see that tweet will recognize that he's only posting the list because there are two Washington Huskies on it. I suppose he needs to be a little more vague about his rooting interests now that he's a national reporter for a mainstream football site.

 

[50-yard-line]

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.

Smith is here for four years, Agholor for two. He's a UFA after next season.

 

[Bill Lee]

That punt is worrying ,

Is that you, Felger? Mazz?

 

[DropKickFlutie]

They'd better figure it out with Jonnu because $12M/year is a disaster if they can't use him well. As you said, 4 years, can't cut him or trade him without a massive massive cap hit. So yes better figure it out.
