Patriots Pregame Thread Official Pre Game Thread- Browns @ Pats (Patriots 1000th game ever!)

[RobertWeathers]

Brown can play either tackle position. Onwenu can play RT or LG. Wynn so far is just a LT though long term he could be a G. Assuming we want all 3 to be starting, those limitations suggest Wynn at LT, Brown at RT, and Onwenu at LG.

Sure but the real question is not can they but should they.

The last ~5 weeks the protection has been better and they are averaging 137ypg on the ground @ 4.1ypc.

Not sure now is the time to mess with it since overall the line is playing decent.

Yeah but Mac is getting killed...you got to do some tinkering.

Every sack or QB hit that takes place is not always the line's fault.

Wynn was a college LG. Why do you keep saying Wynn can't play left guard ?? People said Trent wasn't a LT until Scar made him one and it was his best year.

So today would be the day that Chubb absolutely have to get at least his first negative COVID test for him to play this weekend.

some of it is Mac and coverage sacks, but some of it is on the line

Everyone I know who tested positive did so for several weeks. Odds are not good that he will test negative twice by tomorrow.

True but this lab is run by the NYFL. I expect Chubb to be active on Sunday.

Agree completely.

Anyone have any hit% numbers on Mac lately? I feel like he's not actually getting hit that much, it's just that there's one or two hits per game that are really bad. I don't think overall pressure on him has been an issue the last few weeks, but the numbers may say otherwise.

It's been MUCH better the last 3 weeks with Onwenu at RT and Karras at LG. Both running game is on track and the # sacks and QB hits is not extremely alarming as it was the first 6 weeks. But the staff wants to move Onwenu back to LG soon so I'll wait for the problems to come back before lighting up the torches again.

Ninkovich says he's knows coach Bills game plan already...stop the run stop the run...force Cleveland into 3d and long....so if Ninkovich knows this I'm sure Cleveland knows this...so Cleveland comes out throwing and Bills game plan(if #50 is correct) is out the window and the Pats find themselves down early.

Good. Let CLE throw. If they chose not to use their best player good for us.

 

[long distance]

Do we bench Wynn

Just put up the vote and send it to Bill
(in case he has stopped following this board and all the great advices)

I think you're oversimplifying what a gameplan entails.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Is there anyway to know if chubb has tested negative yet?

Seeing rumors on twitter (but from nobody credible in the media yet so FWIW) that Chubb has tested negative today and will be cleared to play on Sunday.

This is a credible account and she'll tell us for sure when she confirms it: https://twitter.com/MaryKayCabot
