Likely Duke Williams http://t.co/T08jDmgyqY No wonder he was with the 3s in TC. Too much time tweeting porn stars and not enough time in the playbook. He was horrible yesterday.

Call up Meeks if AW is out this week and make DW inactive. Clearly referring to Duke not having a clue that he was in man coverage on Gronk on his TD. I think that's inexcusable. Honestly though, why is he even on the field in that situation? When has he ever shown that he can cover anyone, let alone the best TE in the NFL? Just one example of Rex's poor defensive game planning yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uffalo Ills Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Rex has a lot more things to worry about than our 3rd string safety. Like his gameplan for starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 yea Bradham went nuts on Duke on that Gronk TD. obviously expecting him to pick up the coverage. i felt bad for Duke at the time because i don't think teammates should go after each other that much on the field but if he didn't do his job then i could see why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont Stop Billeiving Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Agreed, Duke Williams has probably worn out his welcome with Rex. Was hopeful about him when he was drafted and he has made some positive ST contributions at times, but he's a liability at the position he gets paid to play at. Mia Khalifa calling him out was hilarious...doesn't seem like he could take a hint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I typically don't put a lot of stock into one defender yelling at another, but when both guys turn and scream at him simultaneously, they clearly both expected him to be in that spot.

How we didn't bump Gronk off the line on every play, I'll never know. The amount of times they'd replay his route and he'd run right past Lawson or Hughes untouched was driving me nuts...move over six inches and put a shoulder into him!

KDIGGZ Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 it wasn't too long ago that Duke was projected as the starter. now he's 3rd string and it sounds like he might have played his way out of the rotation or possibly off of the team. yikes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all knew they had to do it. Every dummy on ESPN and even TBN knew they had to do it. And yet, they didnt do it. At all. Infuriating. And it's not like Rex isnt used to going up against the Pats either. The blueprint on how to beat them is available and well known. Its one thing if you try that blueprint and just dont execute.

dave mcbride Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 On that play, the Pats ran the exact same formation and shift as they did against Pitt, but in the Pitt game Gronk broke toward the sideline and caught the td in the corner. That's what Gilmore was covering (sensibly so). Gronk broke inside this time, and obviously someone else has to cover the inside. That didn't happen.

dave mcbride Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 (edited) This pretty much confirms that Duke Williams screwed up. From Belichick's interview: http://www.patriots.com/news/2015/09/21/bill-belichick-conference-call-transcript-921. Q: The touchdown to Rob Gronkowski looked similar to the formation we saw last week. What did you see on that play?Read BB: I'm not sure exactly what happened on their end. It looked like they were trying to go three-on-two over there to the slot side and they didn't get it, and Rob got inside. The rest of the game they did go three-on-two on that. It's probably what they were trying to do on that play, but they did go three-on-two, and we ended up a couple times going back to the other side to Scott Chandler, where the one-on-one matchup was. But we unfortunately didn't hit it. But they went three-on-two on those plays as well over to the slot side. So, I think that's what they were trying to do, but Rob got inside on it and Tom [brady] hit him. It was a pretty easy touchdown. That's what it looked like to me.

Mark80 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 He's the Mulligan of the defense. No doubt about it. He's terrible, has been terrible in every opportunity he has got on the field, and will, most likely, always be terrible. Time to find a replacement.
