A few notes about the game versus Cincinnati.\u00a0 <\/strong>The Patriots weren\u2019t nearly as good as it appeared, and they had to rely on a stingy and opportunistic Defense to win the game.<\/p>\n

Patriots Offensive Line Got Low Grades<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I was shocked to see the Ratings from Pro Football Focus.\u00a0 The shocker for me was the low grade given to RG Layden Robinson.\u00a0 He received a 17.4 (of 100) Pass Blocking Grade but had a strong 65.6 Run Blocking Grade.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0Taylor Kyles did a review of the all-22 game film and stated that Robinson missed two Linebacker blitzes when he was late in coming off a double team with Mike Onwenu.\u00a0 Later he also missed a couple of twists on the line with Onwenu.\u00a0 Let\u2019s hope he has learned from his mistakes and doesn\u2019t repeat them.<\/p>\n

A key here is the communications with his linemates.\u00a0\u00a0 That will come with time and experience.\u00a0 Robinson is a finisher in the run game.\u00a0 He had a +5 rating in Finished Blocks.\u00a0 \u00a0Best rating on the line was Andrews with a 21st<\/sup> rank, Onwenu was 39th<\/sup>, Robinson 53rd<\/sup>, Lowe 57th<\/sup> and Jordan 62nd<\/sup> respectively.\u00a0 Not Good.\u00a0 This was against the poor front 7 of Cincinnati, the worst run Defense in the league last year.\u00a0 Rhamondre Stevenson\u2019s had 118 yards after 1st contact and his 10 forced missed tackles were both the tops in the league by a Running Back.\u00a0 He as ranked #7 among Running Backs.\u00a0 Perhaps it was more about Stevenson than the O-line.<\/p>\n

Another point that Taylor Kyles pointed out was the Zone Blocking scheme is still not working and that the Patriots switched back to an old reliable system called Duo.\u00a0 In this scheme, Robinson and Onwenu double team with the TE sealing.\u00a0 Stevenson bounced this to the outside with a jump cut and ended up one-on-one with a Cornerback.\u00a0 Total mismatch.\u00a0 Also on that play was a strong block by Ja\u2019Lynn Polk on the Strong Safety.\u00a0 This is an underrated part of his game that doesn’t appear in the box score.\u00a0 His tape from college showed that he was very good in the blocking game.<\/p>\n

It was reported that Stevenson went to Alex Van Pelt and asked to go to a more power game between the tackles.\u00a0 Jerod Mayo also said that Stevenson didn\u2019t want to come out of the game.\u00a0 Nice thought, but this is game #1 and we don\u2019t want to burn out Stevenson so early.<\/p>\n

The Patriots left a lot of meat on the bone when they failed to score TDs in the Red Zone.\u00a0 They were 1 of 4 in TD conversions in the Red Zone.\u00a0 The big difference between this year and last is that Joey Slye made those FGs.\u00a0 If they had scored touchdowns instead of settling for Field Goals, it would have been a 28-10 blowout.\u00a0 I will also note that the Patriots were able to play with the lead and were never chasing the score.<\/p>\n

Caeden Wallace played 18 plays at TE in a jumbo run package.\u00a0 There were no issues with Wallace coming in and reporting to the official that he was Tackle Eligible, allowing the Referee time to notify the defense.\u00a0 We haven\u2019t seen it yet, but don\u2019t be surprised to see Keon White line up in the backfield as a lead blocker.<\/p>\n

Austin Hooper was a big surprise on Sunday with his 2 catches on 4 targets for 31 yards (15.5 YPC).\u00a0 Most fans forget that he is a former two-time Pro Bowler.\u00a0 For his effort he was ranked #6 among TEs by PFF.<\/p>\n

I have no use for Chuks Okorafor.\u00a0 It\u2019s time to cut our losses with him.\u00a0 I would rather see a young player like Trey Jacobs get the reps.\u00a0 Okorafor played just 12 plays and was beaten like a rug.\u00a0 Trey Hendrickson turned Okorafor inside out and put pressure on Brissett, hitting him as he threw.\u00a0 Unfortunately, because Okorafor played in the 1st<\/sup> game, his 2024 salary is now guaranteed.\u00a0 I would still cut him.\u00a0 \u00a0I give the coaching staff credit for pulling the plug on Okorafor so early.\u00a0 I am not sure who was responsible for that decision, but it was a good and decisive decision.<\/p>\n

The Defense was Immense <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Christian Gonzalez had Jamar Chase one-on-one for just three plays.\u00a0 He made three catches for just 15 yards.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Another crazy ranking by PFF has Gonzalez at #72.\u00a0 He had one Pass Interference called on him, but I thought that was a bad call.\u00a0 The other 3 catches that Chase had were in zone coverage.\u00a0 Among Chase\u2019s 62 yards in receptions (10.3 YPC), was a 28 yarder that was against zone coverage.\u00a0 That 28 yard catch late in the games was the only chunk play (20+ yards) the Patriots allowed all day.<\/p>\n

The overall tackling by the secondary was exceptional for the 1st<\/sup> game of the season.\u00a0 This is a direct reflection of the hard camp that Mayo imposed.\u00a0 They hit and tackled players to the ground, which is highly unusual for this kinder and gentler NFL.<\/p>\n

Jon Jones received the highest PFF rating of any Patriot at #2.\u00a0 I still can\u2019t believe he made that tackle on 4th<\/sup> down in the 3rd<\/sup> Quarter.\u00a0 He was 10 yards away, closed quickly and even had to move around a potential blocker to get to Iosivas to make that great open field stop.<\/p>\n

Keon White received a 7th<\/sup> ranking for DE\/Edge players.\u00a0 He had 2.5 sacks.\u00a0 Marcus Jones was ranked 8th<\/sup> among CBs.<\/p>\n

You can’t count on a TE holding the ball like a loaf of bread, just asking for someone to knock it out.\u00a0 That killed what would have been a potential game winning scoring drive inside the 5-yard line.<\/p>\n

I need to mention the Hunter Henry breakup of a sure Interception thrown by Jacoby Brissett off his back foot.\u00a0 Henry made a great play on the underthrown ball that should never have been thrown.<\/p>\n

Kraft Pursuit for Hall of Fame<\/strong><\/h3>\n

There is a very good article by Don Van Natta on the ESPN website about Robert Kraft\u2019s pursuit of a gold jacket and induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.\u00a0 This is some of what Van Natta has to say:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe voters said the case for Kraft has been hurt by multiple Patriots cheating scandals, along with a selection system that until now has pitted coaches against owners. They even mention Kraft’s dismissed charges after two visits to a Jupiter, Florida, massage parlor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Curious whether those cheating scandals will have a similar impact on Bill Belichick candidacy when his name comes up next year?<\/p>\n

Changes on the Practice Squad<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Patriots added DT Jaquelin Roy to the Practice Squad on Tuesday after he and others worked out on Monday.\u00a0 Roy was a 2022 5th<\/sup> Round pick (#141) by Minnesota.\u00a0 The former LSU Tiger declared for the draft as a true Junior and gave up two years of eligibility.\u00a0 He is just 23 and doesn\u2019t turn 24 until October.\u00a0 Roy stands 6\u20193\u201d 305 pounds and ran a 5.17 at his Pro Day.\u00a0 He is strong and put up 30 reps at 225#.\u00a0 This is what NFL Draft Buzz had to say about Roy.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • He\u2019s extremely thick through the lower body, and Roy uses his natural leverage to win at the point of attack, often requiring a double team.<\/li>\n
  • Roy looks like a potential pro starter and top 120 pick, ideally suited for a team that utilizes a rotation-heavy defensive line.<\/li>\n
  • Good weight-room strength, which translates onto the field in terms of his anchor<\/li>\n
  • He\u2019s very instinctive when it comes to countering and solid with overall hand usage.<\/li>\n
  • Has some positional versatility – has played a similar number of snaps as a nose tackle and as a DT in a 4-3 front<\/li>\n
  • Has an elite motor – gives constant effort and doesn’t seem to tire<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    At LSU, Roy played his last season (2021) at the Nose Tackle position and had 49 tackles.\u00a0 The Patriots do not have a backup Nose Tackle to Davon Godchaux.<\/p>\n

    Last season for the Vikings, Roy played in 12 games and started 1 game.\u00a0 He had 8 tackles in the season.<\/p>\n

    To make room for Roy, the Patriots waived G\/C Jerome Garvin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
