Bill Belichick is now 71 years old.\u00a0 No NFL Head Coach in his 70\u2019s has ever won a Super Bowl.\u00a0 Bruce Arians at age 68, is the oldest head coach to win a Super Bowl and he did that with Tom Brady and Tampa Bay in 2021.<\/p>\n

Belichick\u2019s stubbornness and his lack of honesty with the media is getting very tired.\u00a0 Despite what Belichick said in his post-game press-conference, he benched New England Patriots<\/strong><\/a> receiver Demario Douglas for fumbling in the 1st<\/sup> Quarter.\u00a0 He also used it as an excuse because the team is falling behind early.\u00a0 He never gives credit to Miami\u2019s Bradley Chubb for making a great play and terrific hustle to get back into the play and strip the ball out from behind Douglas, who never saw him coming.<\/p>\n

I say Belichick\u2019s stubbornness cost the Patriots the game by benching Douglas, one of the few players that can get yards after the catch.\u00a0 Belichick also called up Jalen Reagor from the Practice Squad so that he could make Kayshon Boutte inactive.\u00a0 Boutte made the same rookie mistake twice in the game when he didn\u2019t get two feet in bounds on a sideline play.\u00a0 The last time was the final offensive play of the game for the Pats killing a potential game-winning drive versus Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s face facts here.\u00a0 Bill Belichick was outcoached by Mike McDaniel.\u00a0 \u00a0McDaniels adjustments and offensive ingenuity had the Patriots Defense on their heels all day.\u00a0 The Tyreek Hill 2-yard TD was pure genius. \u00a0\u00a0Miami saw in video study the way the Patriots would handle the goal line when there were two Wide Receivers to one side.\u00a0 The CB would shade the receiver on his outside shoulder and the Strong Safety would play the TE heads up but set back off the line to give shade to the WR running a quick slant.\u00a0 McDaniel put the TE in motion late in the snap count and almost immediately snapped the ball giving the Patriots defenders no time to communicate.\u00a0 Christian Gonzalez was on Tyreek Hill and Kyle Dugger had Durham Smythe.\u00a0 When Smythe went in motion past Hill, Gonzalez switched to take Smythe, but played him inside.\u00a0 Smythe ran to the back corner of the end zone clearing things out for Hill.\u00a0 Dugger never moved and was very susceptible to an inside dig fake and move outside for an easy pitch and catch for the TD by Hill.<\/p>\n

The Patriots Defense had made a second-half adjustment and were bottling up the edges and keeping the Dolphins off the board.\u00a0 They were keeping the Pats in the game.\u00a0 McDaniel again adjusted and called for an inside run by Raheem Mostert against a single high Safety.\u00a0 Unfortunately, that single high Safety was Kyle Dugger.\u00a0 He is not a Free Safety.\u00a0 He is an in the box hybrid LB\/SS.\u00a0 Dugger takes the wrong angle to tackle Mostert and gets burned for a game winning 43-yard TD run.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s talk about Bill Belichick the GM.\u00a0 His method of evaluating talent is antiquated.\u00a0 When he was signed as Head Coach in 2000, he completely revamped the way the Patriots evaluated talent.\u00a0 Their grades on players were much different than other teams and in doing so, elevated players into higher draft positions.<\/p>\n

Take the case of Safety Jordan Richards who was selected in the 2015 2nd<\/sup> round of the draft.\u00a0 Richard was projected as between a 5th<\/sup> to 7th<\/sup> round selection.\u00a0 His combine numbers were mediocre.\u00a0 His 40-yard dash was 4.65 which is slow for a safety.\u00a0 Richards didn\u2019t perform well in the Vertical or Broad jumps.\u00a0 His saving grace was an excellent 3-con drill (6.74).\u00a0 The Patriots placed a higher value on the 3-cone drill and anything under 7 was very good.<\/p>\n

They also gave higher marks if the player was a Team Captain on his college team, which Richard was, they get higher marks.\u00a0 \u00a0Patriots Player Personnel director, at the time, was Nick Caserio.\u00a0 He led the Pro-Day workout for Richards, which led to him being taken in the 2nd<\/sup> round (#64), which was very high.\u00a0 NFL Draftscout had him rated as a 5th<\/sup> \u2013 7th<\/sup> round pick.\u00a0 Richards was a draft bust.<\/p>\n

The Patriots do all their own scouting and do not belong to either of the Draft Scouting Services (BLETSO or National).\u00a0 Many of their top scouts left the organization because they felt their inputs were not being listened to when Bill Belichick made the team’s selections.\u00a0 I do believe that Matt Groh and the present group of scouts has had more input into recent drafts.\u00a0 Remember this: there are no players on the present roster from the 2019 Draft.<\/p>\n

Drafting players with known injuries like Sony Michel (Knee), Dominique Easley (Knee), Cam McGrone (Knee).\u00a0 That rarely works.\u00a0 If they have to sit out their 1st<\/sup> season, they are down to 2 years left on rookie contracts.<\/p>\n

When was the last time a Patriots Draft Pick received a second contract from the Patriots?\u00a0 It was James White in 2017.\u00a0 He was entering the final year of his contract and was coming off that tremendous comeback in Super Bowl LI.\u00a0 White had 110 yards receiving and 29 yards rushing while scoring 20 points and setting a record for receptions in a Super Bowl with 14.\u00a0 In 2015, Devin McCourty received a 2nd<\/sup> contract only after testing the Free Agents market.\u00a0 In 2010 The Patriots signed Stephen Gostkowski, who was limited as a Restricted Free-Agent.<\/p>\n

Ted Karras had to leave and sign a one-year contract with the Miami Dolphins before he re-signed with the Pats the next season. He left a second time over a million dollars.\u00a0 If the Patriots had kept Karras and Joe Thuney, their Offensive line would have been set for 5-6 years.\u00a0 The Patriots have developed a very bad reputation by not re-signing players they have drafted and developed.\u00a0 If a player wants to make their money, they will have to find it with another organization.<\/p>\n

The Patriots Add Incentives to Trent Brown\u2019s Contract<\/strong><\/h3>\n

They didn\u2019t have to do this, but they added incentives which will give Brown up to an additional $2M this season.\u00a0 There is no extension.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
