Patriots Wednesday 11/22/23 (Early edition)

[Ross12]

Jack Jones once again amazes with his writing proficiency.

The fact that Bill was able to cut Jack, who can be a good player, shows he still has a lot of autonomy.

 

[Ross12]

Do think it is interesting that Grier thinks he could have an opportunity. Reporters only saw positional drills yesterday, who knows what they were working on during the closed portions of practice. No one saw Grier or Cunningham take any snaps. Maybe there's a shot Zappe and Grier are both active and Mac is the emergency QB or something like that, but both Zappe and Grier take snaps in game?

The intrigue.

I don’t read anything in to it. To me, it’s a perfunctory statement.

Supposedly they got first-team snaps last week while reporters weren't present, or at least O'Brien mentioned it, and Belichick sort of confirmed that yesterday. I honestly can't see Jones starting at this point and feel like at 2-8, a change should be made. It's probably just a matter of who it's going to be.

Again, it's too bad Zappe assumed a penalty and - or at least it sounded like - thought he had a free play on that interception in Germany. Belichick's reaction the day after made it seem like he wasn't on board with that rationale (Zappe insinuating a missed call) and I wonder if it hurt his chances to finally get a shot at starting.

Wouldn't it be something if Parker and Juju come alive Mac has been a boundary WR killer with his ineffectiveness. I am sure many here want to see someone else I mean Jonnu and Agholor have looked decent elsewhere they were garbage here.

Ian: is Parker out of the concussion protocol??

Not sure - injury report for this week hasn't come out yet.

HoF can go **** itself until it puts Rodney in.

My favorite all-time defensive patriot (jules on offense). Admittedly kind of dumb to pick all-timers, since there are so many favorites, but I felt like he was the missing piece in his time.

 

[Steve102]

To be honest I don't equate intelligence to how a person communicates. For all we know Jack Jones could be a pretty smart guy (based on his actions I tend to doubt it but whatever)

What does drive me crazy is how as a society, we are OK with this gibberish.

What kills me on it is that people present themselves this way as a brand online. Don't get it.

I don't mean to start a racial thing here but I read it as a form of Ebonics.

I'm an over-50 white guy so that's really not a dialect I know a lot about so what he is trying to communicate is lost on me.

Is it just me or does Will Grier look like L Guy??

I honestly thought they got the picture wrong at first!

Willie McGinest

Right, can't argue with that. My only regret is those last few stupid years with cleveland

Blew my mind when I read about how "aks" instead of "ask" came to be.

A little more context to the above, Mac didn't make it sound like it's a definite:

Sounds like just poor wording from Mac maybe.

100% Agree. I read the Tweet you posted and went looking for the audio and saw Roche's Tweet, which had that clip. As you said, Mac didn't word the answer well, and it certainly doesn't sound like it's a definite yet for him to be out there Sunday.

"That's the plan I think". I wonder what BB thinks about him saying that.
