The grades are in and the Offensive Line performed very well.\u00a0 Neither Will Campbell nor Jared Wilson gave up any pressures, sacks or hurries in the game.\u00a0 Here are the PFF Grades for the Miami game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Week 2 vs Miami<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nOverall<\/td>\nPass Blocking<\/td>\nRun Blocking<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Campbell<\/td>\n59.3<\/td>\n81.3<\/td>\n50.7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Wilson<\/td>\n52.6<\/td>\n88.1<\/td>\n42.1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Bradbury<\/td>\n54.8<\/td>\n84.4<\/td>\n45.5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Onwenu<\/td>\n55.2<\/td>\n82.8<\/td>\n45.3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Moses<\/td>\n46<\/td>\n55.4<\/td>\n64.9<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 <\/p>\n

I thought the Run Blocking grades were a little low considering the Patriots averaged 4.2 YPC.\u00a0 That 4.2 average included 10 runs by Drake Maye for 31 yards (3.1 YPC).\u00a0 However, 3 of those runs were kneel-downs, one to end the 1st<\/sup> half, and 2 others to close out the game.\u00a0 All 3 plays were negative yards. \u00a0\u00a0The run game averaged 4.7 YPC if you take away Maye’s runs.<\/p>\n

Next Gen Stats had both Campbell and Wilson for a pressure apiece, as they did Onwenu and Moses.\u00a0 The sacks were given up by Morgan Moses, TreVeyon Henderson, and Hunter Henry.\u00a0 Garret Bradbury had the highest pass-blocking grade by PFF of any Center in the league.<\/p>\n

\"Drake<\/p>\n

Drake Maye Has His Finest Game<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In his Press Conference after the game, Maye stated, \u201cJust stayed cool and calm. I mean, I was feeling good. Feeling good in warmups. Down here in this humidity, this is what I grew up throwing in, in North Carolina. The ball feels good, so [I\u2019m] spinning it well.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to NBC Sports Boston, Maye had the third-fastest average time to throw (2.57 seconds) in Week 2 but had the NFL\u2019s third-best completion percentage over expected. On the ground, he ran for 31 yards on 10 attempts. The biggest thing when rewatching the game was the ability for Maye to pick up the easy yards, playing conservative at times, but he managed to avoid third-and-longs all game.<\/p>\n

What if DeVon Achane Doesn\u2019t Step Out of Bounds?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In the movie Any Given Sunday, Al Pacino, playing Head Coach Tony D\u2019Amato, stated, \u201cLife is a game of inches\u201d.\u00a0 Achane stepping out of bounds by just inches was the play of the game.\u00a0 If Achane had scored, the Patriots would have got the ball back with around a minute left in the game and two timeouts.\u00a0 I wonder how confident Mike Vrabel would have been sending Andy Borregales out to kick a game-winning kick?<\/p>\n

Mack Hollins Blocking and Special Teams Play \/ Douglas Relegated to Backup<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I don\u2019t know if you noticed that Pop Douglas played only 15 snaps in the game and was targeted only once.\u00a0 That was in part due to the tremendous downfield blocking that Hollins brings to the Offense.\u00a0 It was his blocking that set up his TD catch.\u00a0 He faked blocking and jumped out late into the corner of the end zone, and Maye, rolling out to his right, hit Hollins in stride.\u00a0 Hollins was also praised for his outstanding play on Special Teams.<\/p>\n

Zach Sieler was Non-Existent <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Did anyone remember the Dolphins DT Zach Sieler\u2019s name being said once during the game?\u00a0 He was credited with 2 tackles.\u00a0 Last seaso,n Sieler had 11 sacks. His PFF rating against the Patriots was 49.3 with an anemic 42.3 Pass Rush Grade.\u00a0 Sieler turned 30 this year, and he may be on the downside of his career.\u00a0 Perhaps it was the outstanding play by Jared Wilson and Mike Onwenu that led to those poor numbers.<\/p>\n

Pass Defense <\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Patriots played a tremendous amount of Zone Defense.\u00a0 They played 83% Zone and only rushed 4 D-Lineman.\u00a0 In the 1st<\/sup> half Tua was getting the ball out of his hand in 2.15 seconds.\u00a0 It tale a D-lineman 2.5 seconds to get to a QB in the NFL.\u00a0 On the game ending play, Milt Williams and Harold Landry ran a stunt or \u201cGame\u201d as they call it.\u00a0 The Inside player (Williams) splits the Guard and Tackle and is supposed to bump into the Tackles, knocking him off the play.\u00a0 The Edge player, Landry loops inside and rushes up the middle.\u00a0 The Dolphins Guard recognized the paly and passed Willima off to the Tackle Borom and picked up Landry.\u00a0\u00a0 However, Williams had knocked Borom away and sacked Tua to the close out the game.<\/p>\n

Vrabel should be given credit for rotating his lineman often, giving players a play or two off so they would be fresh at the end and that strategy paid off.\u00a0 Through 3 Quarters the Patriots only Blitzed 14 % of the time.\u00a0 The Patriots boosted the pressure rate on Tagovailoa to 66% in 4th Quarter.\u00a0 Milton Williams with 4 pressures and an 85.8 Grade form PFF.\u00a0 He also contributed 2 big sacks. \u00a0\u00a0Pressure rates for the season, Williams is ranked 10th<\/sup> and Christian Barmore is ranked 12th<\/sup> for all Defensive Tackles.\u00a0 Khyiris Tonga also has a 15% Win Rate which is very good.\u00a0 K\u2019Lavon Chaisson chipped in with 5 pressures. \u00a0Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald had the Patriots only blitzing Tua 4 times.<\/p>\n

On the downside, Robert Spillane has missed 8 tackles and Christian Elliss missed 6 tackles in the first two games.<\/p>\n

Marte Criticized for missed tackle on Achane run<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I think the criticism of Marte missing the open field tackle of DeVon Achane was unfair. \u00a0<\/strong>Marte moved to prevent Achane from getting out of bounds.\u00a0 He received no help from the remainder of the defense after he forced Achane back inside.<\/p>\n

On the play, Craig Woodson was also blocked from behind with no call.<\/p>\n

Drake Maye was Even Better Than We Thought<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Per Nick Cattles on his Locked On Patriots podcast.\u00a0 \u201cMen lie, Women lie, but the stats don\u2019t lie\u201d.\u00a0 Cattles brought up some of the incredible stats of Drake Maye on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Maye was spectacular on Sunday and his play was amongst top 3 of all QBs in the NFL this week.\u00a0 These stats are for all the analytical geeks out there.<\/p>\n

Maye was:<\/p>\n

3rd<\/sup> Completion % Over Expected +13.5<\/p>\n

2nd<\/sup> Expected Points Added<\/p>\n

2nd<\/sup> Expected Yards Per Dropback<\/p>\n

2nd<\/sup> Passer Rating of 137.3<\/p>\n

3rd<\/sup> Yards per Attempt<\/p>\n

Against the Blitz:<\/p>\n

2nd<\/sup> Best Passer Rating versus the Blitz (152.6)<\/p>\n

2nd<\/sup> Completions over Expected +24.3<\/p>\n

4th<\/sup> Expected Points Added<\/p>\n

9th<\/sup> Highest Pressure Rate 55.6% (Blitzes)<\/p>\n

6 of 7 completions for 83 yards and a TD when blitzed<\/p>\n

62.5 % Success Rate versus the blitz<\/p>\n

Add to this his ability to run.<\/p>\n

This was primarily against zone defenses.\u00a0 If teams decide to switch to man-to-man defense, they will be more susceptible to Maye runs.\u00a0 I also think you will see Kyle Williams get more playing time as he is trouble for a press man defense.<\/p>\n

Ja\u2019Lynn Polk Not in Patriots Future Plans<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Rather than waiting around to see what the 2024 second-round pick would be capable of bringing to the table next season, this trade is a clear signal that Polk was not going to be part of the team’s long-term plans after being on the roster bubble coming out of training camp last month.\u00a0 The Patriots must have felt that Polk couldn\u2019t make it in the NFL not because of talent but his propensity to get injured.\u00a0 He is having a second surgery on his shoulder and rather than wait and see if he could come back, they shipped him off to New Orleans because they could get something very minimal for him (trade of 6th<\/sup> Rd pick in 2027 for a 7th<\/sup> Rd pick in 2028).<\/p>\n

If Eliot Wolf gets fired at the end of the season, that horrific trade of the #34 pick in last year\u2019s draft (Ladd McConkey) for #38 and #110 will be the reason why.\u00a0 Polk was #38 and Javon Baker #110, and neither remained on the roster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
