When will it be appropriate to throw shade Urban's way for picking the wrong QB?

Even if he busts out of Jacksonville, I won't think they took the wrong guy. It's amazing Meyer is fucking him up this badly. Amazing. Khan may need to get rid of him midseason just so they don't ruin the kid forever.

My brother knows a woman who worked the media gate at OTAs and while he was chatting with her she told him a story about Agholor. The first day he drove through her gate he was on the phone and didn't even look up at her and she thought "hmmm...". The next time he came through he stopped his car and politely introduced himself and apologized for big-timing her but he'd had some sort of family crisis going on and was distracted. Could not have been more concerned of how he came off.

She summed up with "I don't know if these new guys can play, but they are the nicest bunch of people we've ever had here and Nelson one of the best ."

Now, would it be too much to ask for an Agholor long TD reception tomorrow? We need to get behind people more often and he's a guy that can do it, but I feel like Josh has the governor
on. A couple of those and the whole picture changes.

Hope he catches it!
His career problem has been drops
 
Quick-hit thoughts around the New England Patriots and NFL:

1. J.C. the 'ball magnet': The Patriots haven't had a player record back-to-back games with at least two interceptions since Mike Haynes did it in 1976, but if anyone is most likely to do it, players say it's J.C. Jackson.

"J.C. is a ball magnet," safety Adrian Phillips said. "Some people have to go find stuff, but everything finds him. There's a saying 'every squirrel finds a nut' but the nuts find J.C. It's crazy."

Jackson recorded two interceptions in last week's win against rookie quarterback Zach Wilson and the New York Jets, and there's a good chance he'll have opportunities for more this Sunday against up-and-down Jameis Winston and the 1-1 New Orleans Saints (1 p.m. ET, Fox).

Jackson has totaled 19 interceptions since entering the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2018, which ties with Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard for the most in the NFL. Kansas City Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu (14), Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marcus Peters (12) and Denver Broncos safety Justin Simmons (12) are next on the list.

7. Assumption pride: Saints returner Deonte Harris, who played at Division II Assumption University in Worcester, Massachusetts and set the NCAA all-division record with 14 punt and kickoff returns for TDs, has received rave reviews from the Patriots this week. Belichick referred to him as one of the best returners in the NFL, and special teams captain Matthew Slater said he reminds him of Darren Sproles, an all-time great. All of which sparks a question: How did someone in the Patriots' backyard wind up in New Orleans? Harris went undrafted in 2019, mainly due to his size, and said only four or five NFL teams held workouts with him. Saints special teams coordinator (and former Rhode Island coach) Darren Rizzi was his biggest champion, and his conviction -- which included bringing Harris to New Orleans for a pre-draft visit -- trumped any Patriots pursuit.

9. Payton's stat: The Saints were plus-3 in the turnover differential in their blowout win against the Green Bay Packers in Week 1, and then minus-1 in their loss to the Panthers last Sunday. Payton amplified that point heading into Sunday's game against the Patriots, saying: "Under Bill since 2001, they are 108-7 when they win the turnover battle at home. That's your stat of the week." Have to appreciate it when coaches bring stats of the week to their news conferences.

Patriots cornerback J.C. Jackson has chance to match 45-year-old feat

Jackson, tied for the NFL lead with 19 interceptions since 2018, needs two against the Saints to join Mike Haynes on an impressive Patriots list.

Maybe try Gunnah in the 3rd down back roll ( I don't know how well he could pick up a blitz). The kid can return kicks, so he can run and catch.

If Harry can catch a cross and not slap it up in the air to the safety, that would be an improvement.

Well we have to worry about Jonnu Smith doing that now as well. Or catching a ball that hit him square in the hands on a crucial third down. Too many mistakes yesterday, too many penalties.
