Sojourner

Darryl Talley or Jarius Byrd for defense Lee Evans for Offense

Agree. They improved and reached what we haven’t been able to in 7 years with Josh. They did it in year 2 and have made improvements. We want to write them off because of the dominance we had to endure during Brady/Bellichick. Theyre a good team and a young one at that who couldn’t deliver in the brightest lights. There is certainly room for concern with how badly they played in the Super Bowl but look back to SB48… the Seahawks absolutely destroyed the Broncos who were easily the best scoring team that year; 160 more points than the next. Are these Pats elite? No but they shouldn’t be overlooked.

Basing it on the last 2 seasons? Neither Player A, Greg Rousseau or Player B, Jared Verse. You take player C, Myles Garrett. 1694 snaps 37 sacks, 55 TFL, 67 QB Hits, 97 Pressures and 6 FF. With that said, we are talking about a team who’s in a minor rebuild mode. Splitting hairs between them. It’s about the team getting C and not who’s being sent. It’s irrelevant who Cleveland would want in return of 2 similarly productive players. They want draft capital. A young and productive player included is a bonus to both teams involved. One is getting an upgrade whilst lowering what they have to send and the other side replaces the guy going out the door and still grab a reasonable haul of picks.

Oddly enough I’m sure many fans, especially of our team will tell you it’s not great but in retrospect the combo of Doubs and a trade for Brown was something I saw many people willing to go with as additions to Shakir/Kincaid for Josh. Sadly that’s a big upgrade for the Pats, at least to me.

Yeah man. They overhauled the secondary and upgraded a quality pass rusher in Verse for the truest elite pass rusher in the league right now. Snead and McVay understand the importance of winning now. Especially with Stafford at the very end of his career. They got this year for definite, probably hangs it up if they win it all. Built a roster for Ty Simpson, Stetson Bennett or another QB to come in and not be the dependent superstar on the team.

Depends what you want to do. They struggled being consistent downfield and that is where AJ Brown is at his best. Diggs is an intermediate worker of the field and still, at times, a damn good one too. They signed Doubs who’ll fill in that side of things Diggs would work. AJ Brown is the signing they needed. kudos to them I guess?

Dee Alford and TJ Parker on defense Austin Corbett and Skyler Bell for offense

Don’t think the matchup is bad for the Knicks across the board. The only place it’s going to show any semblance of a bad one is for Brunson. With the way the Spurs zone scheme allows Wemby to collapse on the paint, it might be tough to get Brunson rolling like he does inside and on the lower elbows. Bridges and OG need to continue their performances from Hawks series game 4 to now if the are going to compete over a 7 game series. Brunson will get his in a game or 2 but I can’t see him having the extreme production he has been having this playoffs. Slight edge to the Knicks given they are well rested and a team that has more experience in the league.

Some of the prices are ridiculous. Understandable though. New Stadium, high costs to get those seats doesn’t help either when it comes to them being resold. Only ones that are decent are against the Jets and Dolphins. Might squeeze just one game out this season with the kiddos instead of the 3 or 4. Oh well. Let’s hope the prices drop the following season once the novelty wears off.

Are you tech support for your app @todd!?! 😝

Think it’s because of 2 reasons. The first for what you mentioned. He’s still riding the Montana/Rodgers coaching as well as Dak. The second, he’s a Pittsburgh native. Those guys surely know him from his coaching beginnings for the Panthers. I would presume that him being from there plays a significant part.

Our media team drops the ball a lot.

I believe he’s certainly above average. Dude has played decent in his two years so far. The only knock I can place on him was the final 2 games of their season last year; Broncos & Seahawks, he played very poorly. One when his defense was shutting the Broncos down and the other when he was out in a situation to keep his team in distance of the Seahawks in the Super Bowl. His stats in the latter were pretty much garbage time. The Pats are still in a prime position with 3 years on a cap friendly QB rookie deal. Do agree on the Jets. I know they’ve been an abysmal franchise but if they can land a QB, even one of the standard you believe Drake Maye is, they could start winning.

Agreed. That’s why it’s in theory. Not buying any stock in the Raiders just yet. Vikings are contingent on Murray or McCarthy. However if either of them show up like they did last season then the defense really is the only thing to worry about but with Josh, all good lol

One of the best dual threat RBs. Can only think of a handful of guys better in that role: CMC/Bijan/Gibbs/Saquon/Cook Definitely a needed retention for Miami.
