Keon White made it known that he is thinking of moving on from the Patriots because of how he is being used.\u00a0\u00a0 He had 1 pressure all day.\u00a0 It\u2019s been nice knowing you!\u00a0 He is only effective rushing from the DT position, and he is complaining because the Patriots don\u2019t want him rushing up field (losing containment and letting the QB out of the pocket).\u00a0 All he wants is sacks to pad his stats when he becomes a Free Agent and boost what he will get paid.\u00a0 He was on the Davon Godchaux podcast complaining about the Mass Millionaires tax.\u00a0 You are that selfish player that other players have been talking about.\u00a0 White added a 15-yard Horse Collar penalty later in the game (2nd of the year) and he blew past Herbert on the last TD.\u00a0 When he was drafted by Bill Belichick, he was a player without a position.\u00a0 He is 6\u20195\u201d 285-pounds and runs a 4.79 40-yard dash.\u00a0 Not fast enough and doesn\u2019t have the pass rush moves for the edge and isn\u2019t stout enough against the run to be anything but a 3<sup>rd<\/sup> and long, pass rusher from the DT position.\u00a0 Looks like Tarzan but plays like Jane.\u00a0 After the game White told Phil Perry of NBC Sports Boston \u201cthat he meant everything he said\u201d to Karen Guregian of Mass Live earlier in the week.<\/li>\n<li>Let\u2019s add Yannick Ngakoue to the bonehead list. I would have taken him out of the game. His roughing the QB for a stupid late hit would have found him on the bench and released after the game.<\/li>\n<li>There is no accountability by Jerod Mayo on this team. Steveson has never been made to account for his turnovers.\u00a0 He started the game at RB this week after his 7<sup>th<\/sup> fumble last week and that doesn\u2019t count the backward pass that was right in his hands (fumble charged to Maye).<\/li>\n<li>Since we are on a roll here, let\u2019s throw Kyle Dugger under the bus. First, let\u2019s roast the Defensive Coaching staff, in particular DeMarcus Covington and Safeties coach Steve Belichick.\u00a0 Kyle Dugger is not a safety and should never be playing Free Safety.\u00a0 On the 1<sup>st<\/sup> McConkey TD, he was passed off to Dugger and Dugger took the wrong angle for the TD.\u00a0 On his 2<sup>nd<\/sup> TD, McConkey used his 4.36 speed and blew by Jonathan Jones.\u00a0 Dugger was late coming over from his safety position and gave up the TD.\u00a0 Why are they playing him there.\u00a0 He should be at LB and taken off the field on 3<sup>rd<\/sup> and long.<\/li>\n<li>Dan Shaugnessey just said that the Krafts should clean house before next weekend. Hiring Jerod Mayo and Eliot Mayo were mistakes.<\/li>\n<li>McConkey set the Chargers rookie record for receptions by a rookie with 77, breaking Keenan Allen\u2019s record of 71. He also eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark with 1,054 yards.\u00a0 He had 8 catches for 94 yards and two TDs.\u00a0 Color Analyst Ross Tucker said that he is uncoverable.\u00a0 That\u2019s exactly what I said about him in my Patriots draft projections. \u00a0Ja\u2019Lynn Polk was 0-1 and Javon Baker was 0-1 and badly missed a block in late game action.\u00a0 McConkey had more yards in one game than both Patriots rookies have had all year.<\/li>\n<li>Drake Maye had a pitch dropped by Demario Douglas. It appeared to be a poorly designed play where it looks like Maye is trying to pitch the ball to Rhamondre Stevenson, but the ball is supposed to be caught by Demario Douglas on a counter play.\u00a0 Douglass was late getting there and only knocked the ball down.<\/li>\n<li>Derwin James had two sacks and on the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> one, Austin Hooper stayed inside to block and doubled Joey Bosa. That left James, who was on the line of scrimmage.\u00a0 He rushed and Antonio Gibson came over to pick him up.\u00a0 James had his hand in Gibson\u2019s face and no call for hands to the face.<\/li>\n<li>Speaking of bad calls \u2026 Joe Alt was lined up 2 yards off the LOS and no call on the TD pass. The hit to Drake Maye head, temporarily knocking him out of the game, was not called because he was a runner, according to Gene Steratore the NFL Referee and Rules analyst.\u00a0 However, what Steratore failed to note was the hit was after the whistle for Maye going out of bounds.\u00a0 The opposing player should have been thrown out of the game.\u00a0 If they are serious about player safety, they would have tossed that player and the second player that hit Maye in the head on his 1<sup>st<\/sup> play when he came back.<\/li>\n<li>Credit to Drake Maye for coming back and continuing to run. He also made a great decision to thrown deep on a free play because the Chargers were offside. On the play, Demario Douglas made a great adjustment to the underthrown ball and rolled into the endzone untouched for the TD. Maye 12 of 22 for 117 yards a TD and no INTs.\u00a0 He was sacked 4 times.<\/li>\n<li>Kayshon Boutte chipped in with 4 catches on 5 targets for 28 yards. Demario Douglas led the team with 4 catches on 5 targets. 46 yards and a TD.<\/li>\n<li>Hunter Henry was shutout today. \u00a0The Chargers did a good job taking him out of the game, the #1 target for Drake Maye.\u00a0 Neither Henry nor Austin Hooper can block.\u00a0 We need to draft a TE that can block or do what LA did and have a 285-pound Fullback and a DT as a 2<sup>nd fullback.<\/sup><\/li>\n<li>On Defense the team was hurt by Christian Gonzalez when he was knocked out by a concussion. Jahlani Tavai led the team with 10 tackles and 5 solo.\u00a0 Kyle Dugger was 2<sup>nd<\/sup> with 9tackles with 6 solo.\u00a0 Davon Godchaux had a very good game with 8 tackles and Sione Takitaki also had 8 tackles.<\/li>\n<li>The Chargers had a punt return TD called back. There were two penalties against the Chargers on the play that sprung Davis.\u00a0 Both penalties (Holding and Block in the Back) were against the Patriots gunners at the point of the Punt Catch.\u00a0 Those penalties allowed Davis to avoid being tackled and run to the end zone.\u00a0 Everyone in the stadium knew it was coming back.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Embarrassing from the coaches to the players and to the front office.\u00a0 Everyone got to see what Eliot Wolf gave away in Ladd McConkey (8 catches, 94 yards and 2 TDs).\u00a0 The fans booed them off the field at the end of the game.\u00a0 \u201cThey stink\u201d according to Scott Zolak on the 98.5 Sports Hub broadcast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":56965,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-56958","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-patriots-commentary"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.4 (Yoast SEO v27.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>MORSE: 15 Observations From Patriots&#039;
