Miami Dolphins:

One player to watch is Jonnu Smith. He had six touches (5 catches and 1 rush) in the season opener. He could be an “X-Factor” in this matchup.

“Just a wonderful man…We all probably set out to try to have a good professional career, and John had about five of them.”

“I don’t know. Maybe you know what went wrong. I don’t know. Obviously, we didn’t do anything well enough, I don’t know how else to say it.”

“They should just name the award Bill Belichick and when he retires, bring that back,” Kingsbury said to the media

you try to bring people in that you feel like would be a good fit for your team, whether they’re rookies, free agents, trades,

“ I think if you want to go far enough, look at Sun Tzu. Look at the great generals, you exploit your strengths and attack weaknesses.”

“He has a big future…, he was my pick. He fits the Patriots mold and leadership qualities that some quarterbacks don’t have.”

Judon leads the Patriots in sacks with 4.5 and QB hits with 8. He’s been the Patriots’ most impactful player on defense…by far.

“I think to have the greatest coach of all time, Bill Belichick, call you and tell you he wants you to be a part of something special, that was enough,” Agholor said

“First of all, I don’t really know or care anything about social media. I don’t even know what’s out there , so that’s irrelevant to me”

Jones played very poised, and aware. Jones’ command of the offense was very impressive for someone who was playing in his first NFL game.

Sunday’s Patriots vs Dolphins loss was certainly frustrating and here are some thoughts coming off this one as the Patriots end up 0-1 to begin the 2021 season.

Some observations from Sunday’s Patriots vs Dolphins.

Jones was 29-39 for 281 yards with 1 TD and QB rating of 102.6. Not bad for a rookie making his first NFL start.

Now that it’s game day, Mac Jones will obviously be the focus of the attention on Sunday as the rookie tries to lead the Patriots over what should be a difficult Dolphins opponent in front of the home crowd at Gillette Stadium.
