You can tell Rex Ryan is not the coach of this team. No need to smack a rapid dog in the ass if you dont need too.

Gus is probably the only coach in history that is beloved by his team's fans after winning only 7 games his first two years.

I love the guy and his attitude and am pulling big time for his success.
 
If we don't have Linder that's a big loss on our line. He had 37 one on one matchups with Su last week and the Dolphins got no sacks. He's our strongest lineman.

Not denigrating Linder here, but Suh has been neutralized in the past, many times.

Loved seeing him go the Fins - huge salary cap hit that will affect their ability to field a balanced team, and doubtful that he adds a single win to their totals (considering who they didn't resign when they decided to bring Suh on-board).
 
Just a reminder that Gus Bradley, Jags HC, was the Seahawks' DC last year so he knows our offense pretty well. His defense now is very similar to the schemes he used in Seattle. Unfortunately for him, his current DBs are not similar although his front 4 may be better now.
 
Bortles leads the league with 17 attempts of 20 or more yards, mostly to 6'3" 210 WR Allen Robinson.

Fletcher and MButler will be busy for sure.

Easley is playing. Great news.

I hope he is 100% because I think this is a game he could have sat and with the bye week coming it would have given him more time to be that 100%...Hip injuries always make me nervous...

If they play like they did against Miami there should be no problem. Most passes were dropped. Seriously.

3 seasons ago. He was hired in 2013 as HC of the Jaguars.

The only real experience he has with the Patriots offense, is the Welker, Lloyd, Deion Branch, Gronk Patriots - with Jones and Hightower as rookies on Defense.

And they STILL should have won that game, if Tavon Wilson didn't...pull a Tavon Wilson.

This offense they're in now, is not the same as it was then. Similar, in that game, although they still tried to pound Ridley for no reason, but not the same.

Edelman plays both inside and outside - something Welker couldn't/didn't do, and his YAC is much better.

Yes, I read wrong or the author of an article I read had his facts wrong. Thanks for catching that.

Edelman? You're singing his praises now so good for you!

Mike Reiss's Quick-Hit Thoughts today is jam packed with great stuff including 4 players with history making possibilities today. Edelman is 1 of them. And McCourty almost signed with the Jags this off season?

Inside the Pylon discusses the Pats' use of the wham block in different situations. Great read.

Brian Filipiak shows us how the effective Patriots wham schemes helped them amass a large amount of yards against the Jacksonville Jaguars in just a few plays.

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is one of the NFL’s most explosive playmakers. But while his downfield dominance in the passing game gains most of the fanfare, his credentials as a blocker often go unnoticed. Gronkowski is not only a key cog in opening up holes in the run game, his usage as a run blocker also generates an advantage off play-action.
Running the football starts up front. The success or failure of a run relies on the execution of a series of blocks on a given play. A blocking scheme looks to put those individual blockers in the best position to succeed. When it all comes together, an opposing defense can be left out-leveraged and overpowered.
One staple of the New England playbook is the wham – a run play with a blocking scheme designed to trap an initially unblocked interior defensive lineman. Generally executed out of a wing formation with the quarterback under center, the wham has the tight end (or fullback) on the closed side of a formation come in motion toward the QB just before the snap. Depending on the defensive front, the nose or defensive tackle will be allowed to penetrate the backfield only to be met by a near blindside block (or wham) by the oncoming tight end.
The blocking scheme is designed to create a significant leverage opportunity against the temporarily unblocked interior defensive lineman while also freeing up an interior offensive lineman to either provide help on a double-team at the line of scrimmage or hit the second level.
Trap It

Against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 3, the Patriots utilized the wham play – with Gronkowski (#87) leading the way most often – several times out of a few different formations and personnel groupings.
Midway through the first quarter on a 2nd and 4 from the Jacksonville 42, the Patriots use the TE wham with 11 personnel on the field. The play hinges on trap blocking the 1 technique nose tackle, Abry Jones (#95), tilted toward center:

ePrV0qMxqOdRUVVmhKj8Whn+fXjFyVG49HORLMKfYgazUKqhtCytUSqBAgwAPLTpnqcD79pAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC
As a result of the wham block, Jones is pinned up against fellow defensive tackle Michael Bennett (#96), who has been sandwiched by C David Andrews (#60) and LG Shaq Mason (#69) on a double-team. Gronkowski’s trap not only secures a massive running lane while freeing up Andrews to provide help on Bennett, but also allows RG Josh Kline (#67) to block linebacker Telvin Smith (#50) at the second level. Running back Dion Lewis (#33) presses the hole as RT Sebastian Vollmer (#76) helps part the sea on a kick out / down block against DE Chris Smith (#98). Lewis sprints into the secondary for a 10-yard gain.On a number of occasions in the game, the Jacksonville defensive line had an interior tackle playing the aforementioned titled nose technique. The wham block can be particularly effective against this defensive alignment since it eliminates the need for a double-team and/or a difficult reach block attempt by the center on the tilted nose.
​
Wham It

In the second quarter, New England ran the TE wham again on a 1st and 10 at the Jacksonville 42 but with a slight wrinkle in formation. Deploying 12 personnel, the Patriots load up on the left side of the formation with both tight ends.

ePrV0qMxqOdRUVVmhKj8Whn+fXjFyVG49HORLMKfYgazUKqhtCytUSqBAgwAPLTpnqcD79pAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC
In this instance, the wham block targets the 3 technique defensive tackle Tyson Alualu (#93) but it creates many of the same advantages as seen in the previous play as well as some new ones. Gronkowski’s pre-snap motion over-shifts defensive back Davon House (#31) into the box and displaces him as the contain / force defender on a potential run bounced to the outside. By letting Alualu go unblocked initially, LT Nate Solder (#77) targets the linebacker at the second level right off the snap as Gronkowski completes the blindside trap block on the disadvantaged defender.The blocking scheme also creates two more leverage advantages on the weak side by executing a fold block. Instead of blocking the tilted nose tackle, Andrews slips through to the second level to hit linebacker Paul Posluszny (#51). This leaves Kline – also free because of the wham block on Alualu – to fold under Andrews and pick up the 1 technique at a better angle.With the entire Jaguars front reacting to the wham action and collapsing the middle of the line of scrimmage, running back LeGarette Blount (#29) presses it inside before nimbly bouncing outside and past House for a big 22-yard gallop.
​
Note: Inconsequential on the play, but it appears either RG Tre’ Jackson or RT Marcus Cannon miss their blocking assignment with DE Jared Odrick (#75) going unblocked – and not on purpose this time. Schematically, it makes more sense for Jackson to down block Odrick than work a double-team on a linebacker.
Fake It

As witnessed above, the TE wham can be an extremely effective weapon against certain defensive fronts. But, once on tape, here’s where offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels can get creative with the wham concept in the passing game.
Rewinding to an earlier play on the same drive in the second quarter, the Patriots show the TE wham on a 2nd and 10 at the New England 20. Using 12 personnel, the formation has both tight ends aligned on the right side with Gronkowski in the wing position.

Like clockwork, Gronkowski motions just before the snap in preparation for the apparent wham block on the 3 technique defensive tackle. Only this time, there is no trap – just some deception in the form of a play-action pass. The wham by Gronkowski and the rest of the blocking action up front simulates a run play to great success as the second level defenders get sucked up toward the line of scrimmage. With space created over the short middle, QB Tom Brady connects on the quick slant to WR Keshawn Martin (#82) for 13 yards and a first down.In all, the three wham concepts highlighted above resulted in three first downs and a total of 45 yards. The Patriots most dynamic offensive threat may not have touched the ball on these plays, but Gronkowski’s involvement as a blocker was integral to their execution.

First this is not Fing soccer so no relegation.

Second the Offense consist of Bortles who threw for 273 and 2 TDs last week with no INTs. Allen Robinson will be his primary target as he had 6 catches for 155 yards and the two touchdowns Bortles threw last week. Marquise Lee will be into his second week back when they play the Pats and has some field stretching ability. Don't expect much from the TEs for the first two weeks of the season they only have a few catches combined. Hopefully that changes when Julius Thomas gets back next week. TJ Yeldon showed some flashes last week and should get better and better as he matures during his rookie season. If BB doesn't target the left side of the Jags Oline with pass rush the entire game he's crazy. All in all I think the Jags offense is maturing all of the skill positions on the offense are rookies or second year players. I do think early they will move the ball on the Pats a bit but eventually BB catches up to him and starts confusing Bortles with his defenses.

On Defense watch number 50 Telvin Smith, he was a stand out player at FSU and has tons of speed from the linebacker position as much as it scares me to see an LB having to cover Gronk if there was one that can stay stride for stride with him it's Smith. Will he this week though....I doubt it he's a second year player and even though showing flashes has some learning to do. The secondary is banged up with the Jags having to play a DB they called up from the practice squad just last week. The run D is truly the strength of this team. Especially is Marks is able to return from his torn ACL from last year. A strong run D will not help though against a Brady led team.

The youth on this team is a concern going into this game as they may be wide eyed going into the home of the Super Bowl Champs and may a bit too hyped up and get more penalties than usual.

For me I hope to see a competitive game and see some more growth from the youth all over this team. They will keep it close for maybe the half but once BB starts confusing Bortles it will be all over.
