Good morning. Here are your Patriots news and notes for October 27. The Patriots meet the Jets for the 132nd time. The Patriots have a 74-56-1 advantage all-time against the Jets. Since Kraft bought the Patriots, they have a 45-18 advantage over the Jets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the Jets have won the last two meetings and are favored to make it three in a row. The Patriots have lost six in a row but can play spoiler because the Jets, at 2-5, still believe they can turn the season around and make the playoffs. However, a loss to New England today would really damper those hopes.<\/span><\/p>\n

With these two teams, you never know what will happen. So, prepare for the unexpected or not. It is Jets week, and frequently, the games take on an added flavor. For the Patriots, what better way to break a long losing streak, than beating the Jets.<\/span><\/p>\n

Quick Hitters For the Patriots and NFL News:\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

Bill Belichick: <\/b>The former Patriots head coach fired back at the Patriots after Robert Kraft threw more shade his way. Kraft said last week that he fired Belichick. This was after the announcement that the team had \u201cmutually parted ways\u201d with the coach and GM. Then Jerod Mayo called his team \u201csoft\u201d after the Jaguars game, which he tried to walk back on Monday.<\/span><\/p>\n

After being fairly quiet on the Patriots’ front early in the season, Belichick took the gloves off. As we all know, he holds a grudge, just ask this week\u2019s opponent, the Jets, or Tom Jackson.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He was on his \u201cCoach With Bill Belichick\u201d podcast with Matt Patricia and guest Michael Lombardi when he unloaded on the current state of the Patriots.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>It\u2019s Jets week, but boy, the Patriots got a lot of questions to answer between the head coach, the atmosphere, who\u2019s soft and who\u2019s not soft and so forth,\u201d said Belichick. \u201c\u2026The Patriots can\u2019t even get the same five guys on the field [on the offensive line]. That\u2019s been an issue whether [Mike] Onwenu is playing guard or tackle. Two guys they signed in the offseason aren\u2019t even on the team anymore. So it\u2019s been a little bit of a musical chairs.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

After \u201cThe Dynasty,\u201d a documentary that skewered Belichick at every turn, and all the talk of \u201cchanging the culture\u201d around Gillette Stadium, this quiet detente would never last. And one can hardly blame Bill for what has come out from the Patriots’ front offices.<\/span><\/p>\n

Injury Report – Polk, Robinson Out<\/b>: <\/b>The Patriots have ruled out WR Ja\u2019Lynn Polk (concussion) and OL Layden Robinson (ankle) this week. Eight other players have been listed as questionable to play this week against the Jets.<\/span><\/p>\n

DT Daniel Ekuale (abdomen), CB Jonathan Jones (shoulder\/personal), G Michael Jordan (ankle), T Vederian Lowe (ankle), LB Raekwon McMillan (knee), G Sidy Sow (illness), LB Sione Takitaki (knee), DL Keion White (ankle) were all listed on the injury report on Friday.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tyquan Thornton: <\/b>The Patriots\u2019 wide receiver will be active this week and should see some action due to the Polk concussion, which will keep the rookie WR shelved this week. Thornton has performed well in practice with the Patriots, but that has not translated into production on game days.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTyquan has done a good job at practice,\u201d Jerod Mayo said Friday via Patriots.com. \u201cI\u2019m looking forward to seeing him in a game. He will be at the game. He\u2019s had a great week of practice; he\u2019ll be there, and hopefully, it translates.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Patriots 4th & 2 Podcast:<\/b> This week, Derek Havens and I wrapped up the Jaguars game, broke down Drake Maye\u2019s performance, and discussed the Jets matchup. We also gave our predictions for the game. <\/span>Please check it out<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Russ Francis\/Chuck Fairbanks:<\/b> The former Patriot tight end and head coach should be in the Patriots team Hall of Fame, and the fact that Francis isn\u2019t in is an absolute travesty. Francis and the Raiders\u2019 Dave Casper changed how teams used the tight end position. This will be discussed in our Sunday posts until it happens. Casper is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Francis\u2019 numbers stand up well against Casper\u2019s, yet he isn\u2019t even in the team\u2019s HOF.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Key Matchups and Keys to the Game <\/b>\u2014<\/b><\/p>\n

The Patriots and Jets renew unpleasantries in Gillette Stadium today and will finish their season series early. The Patriots are 1-6, and the Jets are surprisingly not much better at 2-5 despite having a high-powered offense and a Top 10 defense. But there have been changes since the two teams met in Week 3, a 24-3 win by the Jets in the Meadowlands.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Head coach Robert Saleh has been fired and replaced with interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich. Offensive Coordinator Paul Hackett lost play-calling duties to Todd Downing. And they\u2019ve added another Aaron Rodgers binkie, WR Davante Adams, to the mix. The Patriots have moved on from Jacoby Brissett and replaced him with rookie QB Drake Maye, who has played well.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Jets haven\u2019t swept the Patriots in a season series since 2000, Bill Belichick\u2019s first year with the team. And now they look to make it three games in a row, after the season finale last year and the earlier game in NJ.<\/span><\/p>\n

With the Patriots being absolutely gashed by the run the past several weeks, the Jets matchup looks bad already with Breece Hall and Braelon Allen in the Jets\u2019 backfield. Unless they can find some answers there and clean up mistakes in the pass defense, this looks like it could be another long afternoon for the team.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are our keys to the game from a Patriots\u2019 perspective.<\/span><\/p>\n

Slow Down the Jets Running Game:<\/b><\/p>\n

The Patriots’ run defense, absent Christian Barmore, Ja\u2019Whaun Bentley, and Jabrill Peppers, has been an abject disaster of late. They\u2019ve allowed 193, 192, and 171 yards rushing in the past three games.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, despite the Jets having two stellar running backs, their production hasn\u2019t been close to what it probably should be. The Jets rank 31st in rush offense, averaging only 82.4 yards per game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This week, the Jets\u2019 duo should see plenty of snaps early. The Jets will test the Patriots’ sieve-like run defense, hoping to set up play-action passing of Rodgers to get chunk plays down the field.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Patriots need the front seven to step up big-time. The DL and inside linebackers must find combinations to turn things around. They\u2019ll need Jahlani Tavai, Raekwon McMillan, and Sione Takitaki to improve this week. Davon Godchaux has been good, but others (Jacqueline Roy, Jeremiah Pharms) have to step up along the defensive line.<\/span><\/p>\n

Beat the Blitz:<\/b><\/p>\n

The Jets mercilessly blitzed the heck out of Jacoby Brissett in Week 3. And it was very successful. The Patriots had no answers, even when Drake Maye came on in garbage time. Since Robert Saleh\u2019s firing, the Jets have continued the blitzing on a larger scale.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This worked in Week 3, and I expect they will try to overwhelm the Patriots\u2019 patchwork offensive line again. They\u2019ll have Haason Reddick in the lineup for the first time this season. The Patriots’ starting OL unit is still unknown due to the injury situation, but Maye and AVP could attempt to figure in some quick hitters to combat the blitz this week.<\/span><\/p>\n

Having Pop Douglas back this week should be a big boost for the offense. He can get open quickly and separate from defenders. In Week 3, there were plays there for the taking, but they missed them. <\/span>Evan Lazar<\/b> of Patriots.com, in his game plan column, made a great point that the Patriots are not using much rub routes against opposing defenses despite facing a lot of man coverage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Running Game Must Return:<\/b><\/p>\n

The Jets’ run defense is in the middle of the road, allowing 127.6 yards per game, which is good for 16th in the league. That is surprising, considering the Jets’ talent on their front seven. And it begins with Quinnen Williams, a game-wrecker in the Jets\u2019 interior DL. Accounting for him will be a big factor this week.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Patriots were very good at run-blocking early in the year, but their pass-blocking was awful. Now, things have flipped. Drake Maye’s pass protection has improved, while the run-blocking has regressed badly in the past few games.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Patriots need Rhamondre Stevenson to get untracked and make the Jets pay for stacking the box and blitzing. But that won\u2019t be easy\u2026 at all.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stop Rodgers From Easy Layups:<\/b><\/p>\n

The Jets and Rodgers had arguably their best game of the year in Week 3, shredding the defense, especially when they didn\u2019t set the edge and allowed Rodgers to break containment, making plays with his feet and scrambling for first downs. That can\u2019t happen this week.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rodgers feasted on the quick slants and plays up the seam against the Patriot\u2019s Tampa 2. I expect Rodgers to spread out the Patriots’ defense this week and find favorable matchups.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now that they\u2019ve traded for Davante Adams, the Jets have him and Garrett Wilson, who need coverage. In the last game in the Meadowlands, Christian Gonzalez did a good job covering Wilson, and I expect that to continue. They may use double-team coverage on Adams.<\/span><\/p>\n

Man coverage with a deep safety may be the call here.\u00a0 But they have to contain and pressure Rodgers without allowing him to escape.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Area 51 News: Patriots Players To Watch Against The Jets <\/b>\u2014<\/b><\/h3>\n

The Patriots can break a six-game losing streak with a win today at Gillette Stadium, but this particular matchup isn\u2019t great for New England.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Jets\u2019 offense had one of its best games of the year against the Patriots in Week 3. Given that the Patriots’ run defense has been getting gashed week after week, they\u2019ll need to turn things around, which includes the coaching staff making in-game adjustments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Drake Maye has shown signs of improving the Patriots’ passing game. He and Dan Marino are the only two quarterbacks since 1950 who have passed for a combined 500 yards and five touchdowns in their first two starts. If Maye passes for 240 or more today, he\u2019ll be the first quarterback to do so since 1950. That is an excellent stat from <\/span>Stacey James\u2019<\/b> PR department.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are our Patriots Players to Watch this afternoon if the Patriots are to win today.<\/span><\/p>\n

Drake Maye:<\/b> The Patriots\u2019 young quarterback has been impressive during his first two NFL starts, but this Jets defensive group is a tough nut to crack. The Jets own the #2 defense against the pass, allowing just 164.7 yards per game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Last week, starting corners D.J. Reed and Michael Carter were out due to injury, but both will be back this week. However, starting safety Ashtyn Davis is out, and fellow starting safety Tony Adams is doubtful. This could be an area for the Patriots to exploit. Look for the Patriots to try to get backup safety Isaiah Oliver isolated in coverage with TE Hunter Henry or one of the wide receivers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maye must take what\u2019s there and use the hot receiver if the pressure gets to him too early. His athleticism will serve him well this week.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Demario Douglas:<\/b> The Patriots\u2019 quick wide receiver wasn\u2019t able to play much last week after suffering from a stomach ailment (those English beers can play the Devil with you if you\u2019re not used to them).<\/span><\/p>\n

But he\u2019ll be needed in a big way in this game. The Jets are excellent at bringing pressure on an opposing quarterback, and now they\u2019ve added Haason Reddick. Maye will have to get rid of the ball quickly and Douglas can get open quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n

If the Patriots make this a game and can hang with the Jets, Douglas will play a big role. It should be quite a matchup.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rhamondre Stevenson:<\/b> Stevenson is one of the best Patriot players on the offense. And his team needs him to step up and play like it. He\u2019s been banged up for much of the season, plus he had a bout with fumbles that hurt his production as well as the team.<\/span><\/p>\n

We all know the offensive line has had different starting combinations every week thus far in the season. And it has robbed them of gaining any continuity and chemistry as a unit. But as difficult as that has been, guys like Stevenson have to start making yards after contact.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

During the last two Jets\u2019 losses, the team has given up about 149 yards per game on the ground. Giving Maye a complementary running game will go a long way in being able to challenge the Jets\u2019 secondary.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Offensive Line:<\/b> The Patriots\u2019 offensive line has been scuttled by injuries and subpar play all season. They really need to get Vederian Lowe back this week and try to build some continuity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It has been one or the other this year. First the running game was going while Jacoby Brissett was pressured on nearly 50 percent of his dropbacks. The pass protection has improved slightly, but the running game has fallen off a cliff. The Patriots now rank 32nd in the league in DVOA in the running game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Patriots have yet to have a game in which both parts of the offense work in synch. Today would be a great day for that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Davon Godchaux:<\/b><\/p>\n

Godchaux has been a bright spot on the Patriots’ former strength and now the Achilles Heel of the defense\u2014the run defense. Godchaux has spoken more in the past few weeks than he has in the past. The frustration he\u2019s feeling is the pride he takes in his job. And he\u2019s trying to, and he needs the players next to him to step up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Until the other defensive linemen and inside linebackers start playing the way they are capable of, the run defense will suffer. Godchaux will do his part, and hopefully, he\u2019ll set the example for a group of players sorely in need of a shot in the arm this week.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prediction:<\/b> The Patriots don\u2019t have the personnel across the board to beat the Jets. They will play hard but fall to 1-7.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jets 27-16<\/b><\/p>\n

Parting Shots:<\/b><\/h3>\n

The Dolphins get quarterback Tua Tagoviola back from IR today as they meet the Arizona Cardinals. But backup Tyler Huntley, who started three games, will go to IR with a shoulder injury.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, the Fins must decide who will back up Tua. Tim Boyle, Skylar Thompson, and newcomer C.J. Beathard are now under consideration. Since Tua was injured, the Dolphins offense has sunk to 32nd in the league in points scored, averaging just 11.2 points per game.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was announced that Tua will now wear a Guardian cap, as many players have opted to do. However, according to the leading league medical official, Dr. Allen Sills, the helmet that he wears, the Vicis Zero2 Matrix ID QB helmet, is one that testing data has shown makes no difference by adding a Guardian cap will decrease the possibility of a head injury.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Dolphins are favored by four today.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span><\/i> lWe have a huge challenge in front of us in the Jets, and really it starts with the quarterback. He’s done it for a long time. One of those guys that\u2026 He’s played at a very high level for an extended period of time, and can really do it all. Can move outside the pocket, can make all the throws. It’s a very difficult challenge defensively to try to contain. I would also say, the backs. I think the backs, let’s start with [Breece] Hall. Just one of those guys that whether you’re talking about the pass game or the run game, is a very explosive player.<\/span><\/i>\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo on the challenges they face trying to stop the Jets\u2019 offense specifically Breece Hall.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span><\/i>Hunter and Hoop [Austin Hooper] have spent, I don’t know, combined, probably 17 plus or almost 20 years in the NFL. You can see the vet experience in that room of their feel for space and their feel for, ‘hey, this guy’s playing a man’ versus those young guys. I think they’re feeling it out. And JP may be saying, ‘hey, it’s a man. I’m working my route.’ And little things like that, or Pop [DeMario Douglas]. So I don’t really understand things. It’s just kind of the reps of getting it. I think that’s something they continue to find. And as the weeks go on, you’ll see that improve.<\/span><\/i>\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Patriots QB Drake Maye was asked about the tight ends perhaps having a better understanding of the offense right now.<\/span><\/p>\n
