Some thoughts on the Pats heading into the bye week:
- We have an amazing set of defensive backs. I think this is the strength of the defense
- Our DLine is playing far better than I expected with the loss of Flowers.
- Would like to see more of Winovich in second half of season. Seems like he is on a pitch count
- Linebackers are super solid
- Run defense is slightly bothersome. We need to get the lead in games and force teams to pass
- WR group is much better now that we have Sanu. I think he will be a huge factor for the rest of the season
- K'Neal Harry could really make this group special if he can get on the field.
- TEs are terrible. We've gone from one of the best to absolute trash.
- Oline is poor - unexpected retirement and injuries/illness to Andrews and Wynn, etc have really hurt.
- OL getting better hinges on a guy with 5 quarters of actual NFL playing time experience. Yikes. Hope Wynn can live up to the expectation
- I think our RBs are the strength of this offense this year. People are down on Michele, but he can't run through a wall. Someone needs to make some holes
- James White is amazing - can do it all.
- Damien Harris is a mystery. Wonder what is holding him back? Pass protection, blocking, ball security?
- Tom Brady looks as good as ever to me. He just needs the weapons around him to step up their game
- Our current place kicker is perfect on the year. 4/4
- Coaching seems to be the same as every year. Conservative play calling in beginning of season and slowly opening up the playbook
- Baltimore, Houston, KC all play us in regular season games. How great is that to have first had experience against these likely playoff opponents?
- Future looks bright. We may lose another game or two, it's not the end of the world. Just keep learning and improving. We need to peak in January, not now.
