Game Day Thread Official Pregame Thread- Pats @ Jets

[Sicilian]

Having Trent Brown back will be huge, no pun intended!!!

Without Van Noy, I wonder if that means more Uche?

More Uche, and perhaps a game day activation for Perkins?

Yeah, would be happy to see more Uche. Wondering if that means Wino gets more actions as well and like you said, maybe Perkins is activated as well.

If I read Reiss right the other day, this is last ping-pong play for Hoyer and Folk.

Nordin to IR?

Are Harris and Dre both on punishment this week, resulting in Taylor + the aerial game vs. the young Jete pass D? I think it's extremely likely that either this plays out or it does not.

Rham yes. Harris? Hell no!!! Harris had a superb game 23/100. Because Rham was benched for his matador blocking and fumble,Harris was gassed at end of game when he fumbled. Yes it hurt the team. But no he has rarely fumbled. JJ Taylor will be active along with Harris and White.
Rham can sit his rookie arse down. Harris is probably the Pats best offensive player and he has rarely made mistakes. Rham is an unproven rookie who sucked last week. I have hopes for him but he needs to buckle down.

So there's significant complaints regarding the run defense, yet there seems to be a want to put the pass rusher in to play more snaps in roles he's not as good at (setting the edge)? That's KVN's bigger contribution especially in early downs.

You are certainly correct about the Harris fumble being uncharacteristic. At Alabama over 4 years he had 477 rushing attempts with 3 fumbles total, a fumble rate of 180 carries per fumble, that is really very good.

Regarding Stephenson I haven't been able to find his fumble rate, but there are several articles that said his fumbling was a problem at Oklahoma, although I don't know how big of a problem, I didn't watch him in college. It is something he will need to fix.

Van Noy is out for the game (throat).
Nordin is out for the game and heading to the IR (abdomen).

Out for a week with a sore throat?

I've not seen any kind of clarification about the problem.

Probably too much talking, as usual.

Booooooogeymen!

I was more worried about his pass pro coming out even though he wasn't bad.

Right after his pick from the thread ...
Decent in pass pro but needs more urgency. Too hesitant at times. This wasn't something he did a lot in college. Decent but needs to get better covering up and hitting the A/B gaps.

He could watch Williams from Denver and learn a thing or two about urgency, controlled aggression but I think he'll get there.

kind of looks like no. 74 has come to physically place Nordin on injured reserve. Like it's a literal process, you place him there.
