Hopefully the fact he made the roster means a lot has changed as he potentially brings a different dynamic to this backfield and with White probably nearing the end I would love to see this kid take that role over next year…gonna be fascinating to see how this backfield shakes out over the course of the year.
I pretty much watch RedZone exclusively now, even when my team is showing in local market.
and you obviously didn't watch the game... Or you're fishing
In game 1, Mac nickled and dimed Miami all day with accurate quick passes even when he was about to be hit. I think it was 9 hits, some of them were hard. He made a perfect ~30 yard pass over the middle of the field to a WR which was tipped away at the last second on a great play by Jason McCourty. The pass on 3rd and 11 on a wheel route to White traveled about 30 air yards and was perfectly thrown. Mac and Josh is a perfect match. Is Josh waiting for Bill to retire?
Are you still bullish on the Patriot defense? I dropped Denver for the NE defense for this week (Texans) and beyond. Both teams play Dallas so that's a wash.
Depends on the scoring system, but I thought they would have been really good with Gilmore. They haven’t allowed many points and most games have not allowed a ton of yardage. My leagues have negative defensive scoring for poor play, so they are still a decent option. Thought they would have had more sacks by now. Turnovers are a bit hard to predict. I think they will still be fantasy startable most weeks but probably not the stalwart I thought they might be.
Any idea WHY? I clearly haven't been following this story because it's a bit of a shock.
SG apparently wants top of the market money. Since NE took money from this year to pay him more last year, Gilmore only getting $7M for this year. He is said to want $18-20M. NE apparently didn’t want to extend him for anything close to that. Word on the street is they may try to get a late round draft for him by the end of the day. They also had only $50K in cap space and want to sign Jamie Collins.
Patriots placed DL Henry Anderson on injured reserve.
This could be a recovery week playing the Texans. They're the defense of the week, hopefully they come through.
I will still play them this week. If you don’t want I can understand because they’ve not scored well except the one game against Jets when Wilson was off. It depends on what is on your wire. The only one on mine I would consider as a decent start would be the Jets. For some reason several people are rostering two defenses. So there isn’t much on my wire that looks better.
Bingo!
Will all come down To Mayfield this weekend…gotta believe BB zeroes in on Chubb and forces Mayfield to beat them…if the Pats play like they have the last two weeks I like them but I am still another week or two from being totally confident in them being consistent…another x-factor is Stevenson and Harris…they both got dinged up late in the game yesterday…if both are out that is a big loss, as long as one is healthy they can figure it out.
NE is 4-0 on the road and 1-4 at home. One would think at some point that has to start flipping. Cleveland is a bit Jekyll and Hyde on offense. Scored 40+ against LAC and CIN . . . but 17 or less against MIN, ARI, DEN, and PIT. The NE DEF is in the same bandwidth as those teams, and if CLE doesn't score 20+ they will be unlikely to win. After a slow start, NE has scored 24+ their past 5 games.
The problem generally is, if you stick with what's working too long, defenses will adjust and it won't keep working/ There are very few teams that can keep rolling out the same few plays multiple times and just blow opponents away with no variation.
Pats homers can and have imagined this already, as the vindication of Belichick and "the patriot way".
I think Jones will have no problem airing it out... as soon as the figure out the Isaiah Wynn issues.
