Patriots Pregame Thread Week 11 TNF discussion: Beat The Jete

[PatsFan2]

Any thoughts on the offensive approach with Hooper, Stevenson and likely Jennings out? They’re awfully short on brawn (and Tonga can’t play EVERY position!)

Maybe they Scheme FB Jack Westover open.

Maybe they Scheme FB Jack Westover open.

I hope he has 200 yards and 4TD.

 

[PatsFan2]

I hope he has 200 yards and 4TD.

We wouldn't be able to resign him.

Say what we will about Bill's drafting. There will never ever be a highlight of the Patriots on draft day like the one I just posted about the Jets loool

We want Sapp! We want Sapp!

Funny thing is, it came out later, that completely messed up Belichick and Cleveland. They had the next pick and were planning on drafting Kyle Brady and thought there was zero chance in the world the Jets would take him.

Rapaport said he heard Jennings is expected to play. I question how much he’ll be out there.

I probably expect lots of 3 WR with 1 TE and occasional 4WR with no TE packages for the passing game. Possibly putting Hollins in the slot to help with blocking on running plays. We’ll see.

Another alternative:

I mean, don't be shocked if Vrabel just has Borg kick it out of the end zone, instead of doing the usual cutesy kicks.

Did you see the last one against Tampa after they went up 12? He damn near put it in the 10th row.

Yeah considering how important the return game is to the Jete, I doubt we'll see returnable kicks out of the Pats tonight

“The New England Patriots announced that they have elevated LB Darius Harris and RB D'Ernest Johnson from the practice squad to the active roster. Harris is being elevated for the second straight week and the third time overall. Johnson is being elevated for the third straight week.”

Any word about Gronk?

I think I’d prefer Gronk over Westover tonight.

 

[ViperGTS]

Kinda dislike Thursday games. Means I have to wait 10 days to see them play again. Don't get me started on the bye weeks either lol.

Just boot the kicks OOB or into the end zone.

 

[maust]

Punts OOB, kickoffs through the end zone. The JETE are disproportionately dependent on their return game, take thos bullets out of their gun and there's not all that much ammo left

The cesspool, I mean GDT, should be open any time now.

Excellent, I've been worshopping some savage Bill vs Tom takes that will absolutely kill...

Pouring rain and wind on the Cape right now. Might be a wet mess for the game?

I'd like to see Williams continue his breakout. Keep the steam going.

Didn't realize the lettering was designed / same shape as the 1990's lettering. Close as we're going to get to that uniform for a while most likely... "The number set is a nod to the 90's jersey"...

Nah, just a bit chilly. Bit of drizzle until start time but nothing for rest of the evening.

Accuweather has rain currently in foxboro but starting at 7 onwards each hour is like 4% chance
