In some free moments during the quiet part of the NFL off-season, I have put some thought into why the Patriots keep over-stacking similar players who are seemingly strong safeties or small nickel linebackers. On the roster right now the Patriots have spent repeated draft capital or free agency...

1. Isiah Wynn just joined the Dolphins for only 2.3M, less than we are paying Anderson to be a backup. Good riddance to Wynn, who was always hurt and also a penalty turnstile as a Patriot. The Wynn, NKeal Harry, Michel drafts really set the franchise back and have led to talent mediocrity that...

In the spirit of finding common ground, am sharing a bit about IGA score, in-game athleticism. Using on-field cameras and artificial intelligence, this company Reel Analytics (covered by Sports Illustrated below) is able to track in-game speed and in-game athleticism, and also show historical...

The 2023-24 starting offensive line will be key to the offense’s success. What do you think will be the best starting lineup configuration? There are 16 players not counting Cannon which would make 17 players…(list below) Players: Trent Brown, Strange, Andrews, Onwenu, McDermott, Rieff...

Pretty cool moment. NFL scout Chris Vaughn calls his son from the war room to tell him he is being drafted. Article: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/36323973/dallas-cowboys-get-deuce-vaughn-son-team-scout-6th-round-nfl-draft Video: View: https://youtu.be/yWxME7wY4KY Still a nice...

Congratulations on a GREAT career. One of the best Patriots ever. 3 rings and 5 Superbowl trips. Will never forget: Clutch stop of Marshawn Lynch at the goal line to allow the next Malcolm Butler play Clutch fumble sack of Matt Ryan to accelerate the Falcons 28-3 comeback I would say...

If this was their last season, THANK YOU Devin McCourty and Matthew Slater!! 2 of the best Patriots of all time, both on and off the field. Immeasurable leadership, character, integrity. 5 Superbowl Trips, 3 Championship Rings. Sure things for the Patriot Hall of Fame but I would argue both...

This is a good development. When Bob Kraft called out the crappy drafting, they fixed it with 2 strong drafts led by Groh and Wolf, to fix the garbage left from 2013-2019 by Caserio, McDaniels, and Ziegler. The offensive staff is in need of multiple fixes. Bring in Bill O’Brien, and also...

Coaching Profile: BOB is a local from Dorchester, MA who has a brain on his shoulders, went to Brown University. Coached in college for 10 years before working with the Patriots from 2007-2011, coaching WRs, QBs, and served as offensive coordinator for the explosive 2TE Patriots offense that...

There’s still an outside shot the Pats make the playoffs and I hope it happens, but in either case this team has areas of personnel improvement, not to mention on the coaching staff. Which areas warrant an upgrade in the off-season via FA or Draft? A couple thoughts: OLine was a disaster both...

We have the most predictable, pop-warner HS offense in the league. Snap under center = Run 97% of the time Shotgun = Pass 95% of the time So easy for the opposing defense. This is what it looks like from a defensive coordinator who is used to calling from basically <5 defensive play options...

Coaching Profile: Coach Vinnie Sunseri is arguably the best Patriots coach on this year’s offensive staff. How about giving him 3 games to try play-calling? Sunseri is in Year2 as Patriots running back coach, 3rd overall with the team. He previously coached on Nick Saban’s staff. In...

View: https://youtu.be/6H8XUxDpYl4 I’d say he owned up to it. Still the best WR on the team and one of its best teammates as well

Patriots are now dead last in red zone and one of the worst on converting 3rd down. Looks like the crappy 2020 Lions and Giants offenses. Example that encapsulates everything: Patriots offensive drive to end the first half. Random run that forces a timeout. Run a QB sneak. Burn another...

https://www.audacy.com/weei/sports/patriots/belichick-hasnt-talked-to-bill-obrien-about-rejoining-pats Matt Patricia’s salary is no longer subsidized by the Lions after 2022. On offense we have seen the following offensive ineptitude: 2 TDs 14 FGs the last 4 games in the red zone 31st red...

Some damning stats about this offensive line that Curran put out today: Lazy undisciplined penalties: #2 in the NFL in offensive holding penalties 26 sacks allowed 13 pre-snap penalties I’m going to keep calling this out even if people try to censor it

The Patriots are 31st in the league in red zone offense. Only 12 TDs in 28 red zone trips. Both poor in the rate at converting TD’s as well as overall trips to the red zone. The last 3 games it’s been 2 TD’s to 10 field goals. The last game the team kept shooting itself in the foot with...
