Hard to believe it's been 4 years since we did this. Found this today. Hadn't heard their version before. Even this was almost two years ago.
Don't Dream It's Over
For those hoping NE goes out and has another free agent spending spree like this offseason, I don't think that will happen. I would guess they will carry over the $50M in cap money to extend Gonzalez and Maye to huge deals (as they should). But that would eat up almost all their cap surplus and...
It's really difficult to describe things in a concrete, universal way. It's way different comparing a red zone carry when there is a run blitz and a RB gets hit as soon as he touches the ball. That isn't on the RB. Just like a RB having a hole 10 feet wide isn't on the RB either. So each guy...
Curious to hear what people think if we keep the current set of circumstances involving NE as constituted and swap out Vrabel as head coach for BB. IMO, there wouldn't be any difference in their record, would there?
People will say thumbs down on Bill here. But this 2025 team has way better...
It's clearly a toe injury. They called it turf toe. But I have no idea what it is (turf toe, sprain, hairline fracture, ligament issue, etc.). I think he probably will be back against the Bengals if he doesnt have further issues and it doesnt hurt or get inflamed in practice next week. But I...
Yes. His confidence, the team's confidence, and his overall level of contribution and pass protection have all increased. The takeaway should be that the team trusts either guy. But the other takeaway is that the run blocking is still a big issue. Other than those two big Henderson runs, the...
This will ruffle some feathers for sure.
Like always, the tweets are accurate. But they mask other things going on. And for the 100th time, I am not bashing Henederson. Henderson had 124 yards on two rushing TD. Which means he had 85 yards on his other 41 attempts with a 2.0 ypc.Having 5 TDs in...
You're not wrong, but that doesn't make the RYOE a relevant stat on that long TD play. Without phenomenal blocking, that play would have been stuffed at the line. But there was great blocking, and Henderson kept running. But not initially because of Henderson. Get it? Maybe another NE RB would...
This is both true, misleading, and taken out of context all in one tweet. That's a rare trifecta.
Henderson until this past game was last in the league in RYOE. By a lot. Stevenson wasnt good here either. But he was 2.2 yards BETTER than Henderson was in RYOE (+0.4 vs - 1.8).
Henederson got 93...
Stephenson hasn't been great, but many times, he gets nailed in the backfield as soon as he touches the ball. It's not his fault the line doesn't run block well. And Henderson's numbers only started improving when they pivoted to pitch plays, sweeps, and things to the outside.
Based on expected...
NE has one of the easiest schedules in recent memory
LV: 24th in points allowed, 18th in yardage allowed
MIA: 29 and 26
PIT: 19 and 28
CAR: 13 and 7
BUF: 17 and 15
NOS: 27 and 19
TEN: 28 and 24
CLE: 13 and 1
ATL: 8 and 2
TBB: 22 and 17
NYJ: 26 and 16
CIN: 31 and 31
NYG: 23 and 29
BUF: 17 and 15...
Henderson ranks last in the league in rushing yards over expected per attempt at -1.2. Stephenson isn’t much better at 9th worst at -0.2. But that’s still a yard better. But it’s clear blocking in the run game hasn’t been very good to this point.
Vrabel got grilled on this in a press conference last week or the week before. Reporters kept asking him if he was going to punish, bench, or reduce Stephenson’s playing time. Vrabel said Drake Maye had two fumbles too, should he bench Drake? That shut down any questions about fumbling. Vrabel...
