Patriots Pregame Thread Week 2 discussion: Super Bowl XLIX Finalists visit Foxboro

Still no kenneth walker or noah fant

Gronk, Travis, and Jason Kelce all said that Spikes was the most fierce hitter they ever played with.

Hightower was definitely in a different context.

Going further back was Vincent Brown aka The Undertaker.

No George Fant either, their starting Right Tackle.

If they have to play their backup tackle, that could be a problem for them. Keion White abused a middling right tackle last week (Trent Brown).

Ahh i meant to say George lol noah actually did practice today

 

[Force Zero Boomer]

Imagine if we start 2-0?

With this defense, it could happen.

 

[Force Zero Boomer]

Is there an "X's and O's" thread someplace?

Meantime, this is of interest - everyone playing with a light box and cover-2 style defenses and forcing checkdowns. Depth of throws dramatically down. (Also a lot of inexperienced QBs).

As she said, you need to run the ball. Maybe fullbacks will be in vogue again?

His torso looked like a wall haha. He's before my time so I didn't see him play but he looked stout as hell.

Let's be clear. We are NOT evaluating last week's game. We are looking forward.

So, you believe that for Game 2, you believe that

Brissett is an average QB, in the middle of the pack, about 15 better and 15 worse.
Our Wr's are in the middle of the pack, about 15 better and 15 worse.
Our OL is in the middle of the pack in the middle of the pack, about 15 better and 15 worse.

I strongly disagree.

I saw somewhere where espn had us ranked 15th . Not that that means anything. As I never have been a big fan of the schedule. You play the games I. Front you never know how they will turn out. I expect little more balance offensively this game and the offense will always be game plan specific. AVP said it best we don't have say household name guys but we have capable guys on offense. IMO to maximize this offense polk and baker should be involved more. KJ Osborne should be a guy who comes in in packages.

Boutte is our least valuable WR. For me, he is one of three worst players on the roster and could be cut at any point without any negative effects.

Pettus, Pharma & Leverett all say Hold my clipboard…

Oh really that's why he made the Team I am going to trust the Coaches on this and not you.

Pats are keeping their young WR's hungry when Boutte and Baker get their chances I bet they'll make it count.

Per reiss layden is taking his normal reps today after being added to the injury report yesterday. Thinking itll be lowe-Jordan-andrews-layden-onwenu again

 

[slash83]

Least they’re building continuity.

That OL was more than serviceable I want C Wallace in the mix more. Really hope they call for more play action knowing the opponent. We need some Big plays downfield.

Guessing you mean c wallace at LT? That would be ideal. Imagine getting capable starters at both rg and lt from rounds 3 and 4 and completing the starting OL in one season where qb and wr were prioritized, would be an amazing job by the FO. But if they even cut it down to one need for next year plus some depth i would take that too.

Forgot our old friend Pharoah Brown plays for the Seahawks now.

Knock on wood but it seems like V Lowe has improved a little Canton watch out. That said if C Wallace continues to improve he will pay dividends for us next year.

Read a report somewhere yesterday that Drake Maye is taking 30% of the first string practice reps... Interesting if true. Hurts Jacoby a bit but would seem like a clear indication that they're trying to still prep Maye to start soon.

This "rare plan" is exactly why Brisk is here as opposed to someone like Zap. I'm guessing anything close to a blowout either way, "it's gonna be..."

Edit: I know I wanted Zap to start, but I just wanna say, I'm a huge fan of Brissett. Dude was a starter on a Super Bowl winning Patriots team.
