Total going to ignore the fact that a the guy who covers the Patriots for the Globe said that they are coached to adjust in their coverages and Gilmore isn't full speed yet? I mean he covers the team, he probably has as good anidea of what the teach over there. Sure you can just simplify things and say cover 2 his responsibilities are x but you nor anyone else knows if it's x, and y depending on the situation.
All we know is the team leader took responsibility for it, wouldn't he do that in any case?
FWIW Chris Gasper who covers the Patriots for the Boston Globe says he thinks Dmac made the right adjustment and Gilmore did not. Said the way they practice it is different than Gilmore would have don't previously and it's hard to blame him in his first game. I'm not sure how some posters are so sure of exactly how the Pats adjust in their coverages but it's sure entertaining.
For honesty's sake, anytime I see Gilmore chasing after a WR i'm going to blame him.
A. Because he is soft
B. Because he always looks disinterested
C. Because he can't tackle and I hate guys who can't tackle
A bunch.
Amendola, Edelman, Mitchell, Mcllelan, Rivers, Ninko(retired), Ealy failed at camp, Hightower probably going to take an MRI.
Not a good start, for them.
Say what!?
Gilmore is not worth the money, the Pats had extra money and made a bad decision with it. I said it then and I will say it again Bouye would have been a better, cheaper signing for them. I also said losing Logan Ryan who was one of the highest rated tacklers playing CB would hurt their defense.
Remember back to the 200 yard games the Bills let up to Ajayi, you need guys that won't/can't tackle like Gilmore on the field for the to happen. See Kareem Hunt. Sure it wasn't all Gilmore's fault but it helps create the avalanche.
Ninko retired, Mclellan IR, Hightower banged up, Harris is toast, Roberts coming off a bad camp, Marsh looks like a guy that should be told to take an Uber back to Seattle.
They have some holes, I expect they will make things work but for this night I'm relishing in it.
Yes!!!!! And stick around for the 2-6 Felger will have the locals crying.
Tomorrow is going to be a great day.
They will fake an injury to Brady because they are so good and Jimmy G needs love reps maaaaan. I'm telling you. BB is always a step ahead that's what they will do.
Hahahahahahaha fix your mush D.
I'd bet a small fortune that they beg Rob N. to come back after this week and he does so. Not that it will solve anything but it will show their desperation to find a pass rusher
Alex Smith and Hunt took advantage of a soft Pats front, I expect them to be more aggressive in the 2nd half and I wouldn't count on Alex making them pay.
