Patriots lose their OL coach again - Dante Scarnecchia retires again

Recommended Posts

The Bills & Jets will be taking over the AFC east this season.  I'd be surprised if they both don't make the playoffs with NE battling Miami to stay out of last place.  We have the advantage with McDermott over Gase in NY, but the Jets are not going to have another season like 2019 where their QB goes down with mono, their top free agent on D has a lost season and their rookie (now 2nd year ) DT is banged up & underachieves.  The Jets will be a formidable opponent this upcoming season, with Darnold, Mosley, & Q. Williams at full strength, NE, not so much.

Lol “genius” aka teach holding and how to get away with it. 

 

Don't get me wrong he’s a good coach... but genius?

Lazy take. He's outstanding. NE was top 2 this year (not number 1) in fewest holding penalties called against them, but was only 20th the year before. 

In 2017 they were 10th, in 2016 they were 27th.

This is big. He’s a HUGE reason for their continued success in the run game over the years.

 

Even he couldn't make it go this past year. I think with a QB who held the ball more we would be ranking that line as among the worst in the league.

Yep, he's pretty much unanimously considered the best OL coach in the league and one of the all time greats. It's a huge loss.

So the league can only go one year at a time having the spine to call penalties on them before Kraft chews them out and they back off the following year.

The fewest holding penalties had nothing to do with coaching.   The fix was in!

It is SO over, Johnny.

 

I know we're all conditioned w/ the "I'll believe it when I see it," but the Pats are having a terrible offseason, and a declining Brady is going to be 43 - if he even returns to that team.

 

Laugh, call me a crazy dreamer - the Patriots will finish 3rd in the AFC East next year.  Oh, how the turntables.

Exactly, so they found a coach who was better at teaching how to hold. Thanks for proving my point dog.

That’s a HUGE loss. Belichick had to beg him to come out of retirement and save their o line. He is (was) the best o line coach in the NFL in my opinion.

Yeah, it really is. The Pats have always had really good OLs without committing as many resources to the OL as you'd expect from their performance. They've always out-performed and over-achieved and Scarnecchia is a lot of the reason for that.

 

Good luck to him in retirement, but I'm happy to see this.
