this seems cryptic

I thought it was sort of an odd answer too. Almost like him saying “It’s not as bad as you all make it sound”, which sort of implies that Mac should be doing more with what he’s been given. Or possibly implies that the pressure sometimes isn’t necessarily due to the line itself, but due to Mac’s poor navigation of the pocket or failure to just get rid of the ball on time. I guess if your line protects fine but the QB steps up into the defensive lineman and gets hit, your line gets docked for giving up pressure even though you did your job, the QB is just an idiot.

Can he play WR?

 

[venecol]

BB is either being BB, or is genuinely losing his mind.
On Sun he said they have to start over. On Mon the coaches had a total re-evaluation meeting.
On Wed he says "not making any changes"

He doesn't know how. I'm not talking about weekly game plans. Belichick is too old to change. We're all stuck in his outdated ways.

 

[venecol]

Lol, what kind of adversity has Mac ever faced. He's been a pampered rich kid his entire life.

 

[venecol]

He looks like he's 30-something.

 

[venecol]

He needs to scrap the pre-snap checklist. It's not working.

 

[venecol]

Hunter must've read Andy's "Next 6 games" thread.

Old man Cobb at #10. WAT?

 

[Jim Beankie]

this seems cryptic

That reply is going over the top. Makes it sound like he's using a Magic 8 ball instead of any semblance of analytics. That being said, based on Football reference, I can see his vague point in that NE is listed as 16th in %Pressures per dropback (21.8%... Jets are worst at 32.6% and LV is best at 14.6%).

Hey... he was a child worker in a sweatshop. That tennis sweater caused him to overheat a little!

[Jim Beankie]

Can he play WR?

Geez - I wish... 4.34 40 at 6'3.3" (with last 20 at 1.79... Tyreek is 1.78... so major top end speed) with a 6.99 3cone. I wonder if he ever got time practicing returns. Probably has horrible hands.

I thought this was kind of interesting..

[Love The Drake]

I think what Jalen Mills is angry about it Myles Away Bryant is getting more snaps than him and he has no idea how or why.

BB is either being BB, or is genuinely losing his mind.
On Sun he said they have to start over. On Mon the coaches had a total re-evaluation meeting.
On Wed he says "not making any changes"

“I’ve reviewed everything. It turns out the roster is fine. We just need to adjust the schemes.”

i fully agree, these were my thoughts as well and as @Jim Beankie mentioned in his %pressures per dropback stats the pats are in the middle of the league which underlines your explanations.

 

[captain stone]

Proof...of what, exactly?

More words.

 

[captain stone]

I found Bill''s press conference today really infuriating. His act is getting old. I think it's over, don't you?

Absolutely unprofessional. Always has been.

Yep, even going back to his days in Cleveland he's despised the press. Watch the Cleveland '95 documentary for examples.

 

[captain stone]

He looks like he's 30-something.

And plays like he's 90-something.

Is this when he did an interview on the treadmill?
