It's either the guy some schmuck thinks they could have gotten in trade. Or the guy or guys some moron has convinced himself we could have traded for the picks to draft. And this will keep happening for as long as both Brady an Garoppolo are on the rosterAnd so the fabrication of myths begins.. suddenly people pull random names out of their asses in terms of a potential JG trade that was by all official accounts never a consideration.

Ok dude. Don't try your crap with me.
Jimmy G for pick 12 + more was reported by many. Barnett went 14th. We worked him out.
This forum has turned into mega homers vs. chicken littles. I may need to peace for a bit.
Questioning the Jimmy G trade as it pertains to the front seven personnel is a fair question. Name wasn't pulled out of my ass. If you think BB worked out so many top 25 prospects with no 1st round pick I don't know what to tell you.
I dont try any crap with you. It is you who is pulling trades magically out your ass and going by "widely reported".
It is just lazy and convenient scapegoating because people are just too ****ing dumb or stubborn to realize that just maybe JG really was never on the trade market and BB sincerely believes that having a great backup even for a single year is worth more than the promise and potential of a draft pick. But, yeah, sure lets go on believe sports media that conveniently needs clicks to survive over experts that actually have a friendship and years of experience with BB like e.g. Lombardi who said from the beginning that JG wont be traded.
Jamie Collins would look good in this LB core at this point...
Why did we work out a ton of first round players? Specifically some in the top 20?
If you cannot see that, stay out of my way and I'll stay out of yours.

We are often working out players out of reach. Go check the draft forum for the workout threads of previous years.. you wont believe what you will find.
For the $12M cap hit that he's carrying on the Browns right now, I'll still pass.Jamie Collins would look good in this LB core at this point...
Belichick has to figure out who he's trading his 2020 5th round pick for.Incorrect.

No he wouldn't. Because he wouldn't do what the coaches asked him to unless it suited him to.Jamie Collins would look good in this LB core at this point...
I'm by no means anything close to an X and O's expert, but this game kind of reminds me of the Wildcat game in a sense. Off the top of my head that was 2008 (?)Just putting my thoughts out there.
Less to do with personnel and more to do with the defensive game plan. imo.
In short I think they needed to go bigger. They may have wanted to flood the field with DB's and force Smith into some mistakes but they may have been better off using a 4 -3 or 4-2 and getting pressure on Smith to force the mistakes.
A.Butler, Branch, Brown, Flowers
Hightower, Van Noy
5 Db's.
1. The Pats at times had 6 DB's with a 5 man front (3 DL's + 2 LB's) vs a behemoth 2 or 3 TE sets (5 OL + 3 TE's). This just seemed to be too many big bodies on too many little bodies.
#1 - Brown doubled. #2 - Branch Doubled, #3 Hightower Doubled.
One OL peels off and gets to Van Noy in the second level allowing hunt to hit the gap.

2. They also ran a bunch of creative crossing routes with their speed guys. This seemed to cause confusion for the Pats D.

I've circled Richards at the top. He was "athletic" enough to get coverage on the RB Hunt coming out of the backfield.
That's a lot of moving parts to decipher for a defense. Criss crossing routes, guy out of the backfield etc...
Snap to throw was approx. two seconds.

The X marks the reception. Van Noy is the LB trailing Tyreek Hill. He was forced OOB at the 38.
