Ezekiel Elliott:

Kayvon Thibodeau and Azeez Ojulari don’t set the edge well in the running game, and that is the area for New England to attack. 

But if this had been the Patriots with Brady at QB, this would have been all over the network news.

Bourne has a torn ACL. He’s been Jones’ most reliable receiver this season with 37 catches, 406 yards and four TDs. 

The Miami running game couldn’t get much going last week against Philly. Their OL is really banged up, and they were down three starters.

The defensive line did a very good job at stopping the run. Josh Jacobs rushed for 77 yards on 25 carries (3.1-yard average).

David Andrews summed it up perfectly when he said, “Kind of the same old story.” Indeed it was. Wash-rinse-repeat. 

The coaching staff getting pantsed by Mike McCarthy? The Dallas coaching staff ran rings around New England, and sadly, it wasn’t close.

Belichick: “getting recognition like that is probably a good sign that things are going fairly well, but there’s still a lot to work on.”

Arizona used a Belichick staple by taking away the opponent’s best player, in this case, Micah Parsons. They ran the ball between the tackles

the Patriots limited the Jets to just 38 yards on 22 carries or a 1.7-yard average. That is dominant stuff there.

It was a great job defensively, especially in the first half,” Belichick said in his post-game press conference.

Heading into the 2023 regular season, the New England Patriots certainly have questions along their offensive line, with one key one being whether or not the club can be as effective running the football this season compared to 2021.

The New England Patriots needed to cut down to 53 players on Tuesday, which left the club with some difficult decisions as they did their best to try and solidify areas of need at the expense of a couple of key names.

I know tackles are needed because of injury/illness, but I wasn’t a fan of trading Pierre Strong after just one season.

Offensive lineman Mike Onwenu reportedly took part in practice on a limited basis on Wednesday, marking the first time this preseason he’s been able to participate.
