@TheBostonBuzzer No balance, not commitment or consistency to the run game. the end of half goal line play is a perfect example.
No confidence to get the yard you need on the ground.
Defense has no reason to believe you might run either.
@RyanPaganetti Either over thinking it, or not confident enough in running.
Manage the clock, limit damage in the half, get what points you can.
The lack of focus, effort and effectiveness in the run game is a significant issue for NE.
Too much on the shoulders of a kid who's not ready for it.
@Brett_Pats A Thought:
A QB with less tools you have to build up slowly, conservatively, the offense and QB grow together.
A QB with all the tools, you are tempted to deploy everything that's possible, but the QB hasn't grown with that offense.
slow it down, ball control, reduce, grow
@Brett_Pats how many consecutive run plays do you see? How innovative were the run calls?
Maybe focus on supporting a balanced offense, or run heavy offense for a series or two?
@RyanPaganetti I mean, if anyone is trying to compare him, or any active QB to Tom Brady - good luck to them.
The patriots seem insistent on throwing gas on the fire,
instead of containing it.
I don't think they ran on consecutive downs more than 3 times yesterday.
@Wendys@Spirituali__tea Underrated burger and Underrated employee. Fits.
Also beg's the question, "WHERE'S THE INTERN?"
(oh look, there's your next social play. Welcome or whatever.)
@Marima2point0@MJDeLaWho That's fantastic!
I will never forget the AM shifts of lobstah role prep back in the day.
shared misery like that is a lifelong bond!
@Brett_Pats At @Brett_Pats I think you and I both felt 2-2 would be a reasonable start.
Bears timeline makes a lot of sense, but the following week might make even more with the mini buy.
Now building out to the record before AJ's return:
5-2 / 4-3 feels reasonable to me.
@ddortona8 1. Seems like Vrabs would have some knowledge or close connection to knowledge on the person and player from his OSU days.
2. 3rd or 4th, I'd do but you would need to unload someone else eventually so it might be sending Pop plus a 5th.
