Patriots Pregame Thread Week 6: Pats @ Saints

[farn]

Jennings and White both being out, and Chaisson maybe still being a little hurt, could end up being an issue

Especially if that RB is as good as the eggheads say…

 

[Uptown]

Please Drake…stunt!..

Chaisson was a full participant in the practice Friday.


That being said, Ponder and Truman Jones will probably see a lot of snaps opposite Landry.

 

[Patjew]

Great! Both Milton Williams and Christian Gonzalez are active today.

IV it up, Milton!!

 

[Ring 6]

If you want me to get excited for this season, win this game by at least two scores.

34-13 Pats

No one cares if you are excited

Pop better hope Chism doesn’t see snaps on offense

Tbh, I feel like they've changed Pop's role. Diggs has started taking a lot of slot snaps, and they've instead used Pop as more of an outside receiver at Z being the "deep threat". So, Chism may get some snaps spelling Diggs in the slot while Pop is still on the field.

At this point, Kyle Williams may be more of a threat to Pop's play time than Chism is.

Milt is going to unleash havoc. Meat head Penning is going to get his goose cooked.

 

[Love The Drake]

I’m benching Marvin Harrison Jr, for Chism.

I believe

 

[Triumph]

Too bad Milton Williams is unlikely to play today. Barmore may have a big game and this is an opportunity for Keion White to have a good game. And on the Saints rushing defense, they are 20th in yards allowed and 19th in rushing TDs allowed. Nothing special there.

Chase Young returns today.

wow. But then again it's Jacoby throwing it

 

[Triumph]

If it was it shouldn’t have been. Weird things happen a lot in a division game.

Up till last Sundays game, the Pats had 1 win in Buffalo since Brady left.

The Pats went up there and held the 3rd ranked NFL offense to 20 points.

"You believe" in Chism or is it more a matter of "you believe" in how bad Biscuit is at heaving it downfield?

I don't get all this concern about Pop Douglas. He's doing the job, running his routes, blocking downfield and getting his snaps. Defenses now have to focus on Diggs and Henry as Mayes' go-to receivers. Pop will get his targets. Anybody who went to training camp knows that Douglas and Maye are on the same page. Today could be a breakout game for Douglas with the Saints weak pass rush and a little more time for routes to develop.

Problem is that Douglas and Maye were "on the same page" when the team was largely playing vs. air. Now in real games, Pop is not always running to the right spot, and Maye is missing him a bit. It could definitely improve but not something to feel optimistic about until they get something going.
