Their defense isn't very good. No MLB and CB's are nothing special with White declining.D Hopkins would put them over the finish line.
Rather Higgins for a 2nd with conditional 3rd or 4th in '25 with a 5 yr deal,D Hopkins would put them over the finish line.
I just listen to podcasts, but one of my partners at work always has 98.5 on in his office. I probably spend at least 30 minutes a day in there reviewing work stuff, and sometimes I'll guess what idiotic take they will come up with before I head in and they rarely surprise me. Their hot takes don't bother me, it's just surprising that folks listen to something so manipulative and obvious all day.WEEI hired Adam Jones for the afternoon slot to be exactly like Felger, dump on everything every team does, Felger has admitted they make stuff up and don’t believe some of the things they say.
Listen to NFL radio.
I'm glad you find value in Gasper's opinion.You asked for the facts, as in what did gasper list. Again, give his segment a listen if you’d like them
I’m for everybody giving opinions, I take some more seriously than others, like you.
I hope you don’t take any opinion on this board seriously if your criteria is the above. I’m also not telling you to agree or disagree with anybody you don’t want
Gaspers opinion was formed with statistics from Gonzales’ year, PFF grades and a coaches criticism. Not sure how else somebody can form an opinion.
One thing we have to remember, is that some on the radio and even here on these message boards, don’t understand the concept of improvement. Players can improve on their weaknesses, when they are drafted, they aren’t necessarily the finished product.I suspect that Gonzalez does well against large WRs but, maybe, not so good against the small, shify guys, but the Patriots have other guys that can cover them so I think we are good--BB is going scheme so that Gonzalez takes away to big receiver or even TE.
Sometimes I will switch on the radio to see if they are having a real discussion about sports or if they are throwing sh*t against the wall. I normally last five minutes and then switch it to Sirius radio.I just listen to podcasts, but one of my partners at work always has 98.5 on in his office.

I think everyone/anyone is on the trading block with Bill if other teams offer enoughI don't believe BB when he says something to the press unless it's about football history. That said, I don't think that Mac was on the trading block in any serious way...if at all.
I also don't listen to sports talk radio. Gave it up over 5 years ago. One of the best decisions I ever made.

I've made the switch to podcasts exclusively as well. It's much easier to pick and choose ones that you feel are being fair and balanced. I like Catch-22 with Lazar and Barth, but even they have started veering into extreme knee-jerk takes sometimes (which makes sense with the draft, because they pour so much time into researching it, it must feel like a waste when they don't pick the guys they like). I also like Phil Perry's Next Pats, because it tends to focus more on just learning who these young guys are and what their potential could be, rather than, "Yeah but they could have had X, Y, or Z..."
Slim pickings in general though for tempered, informative Patriots talk. Any suggestions?
? Curran has said repeatedly that Mac Jones isn't going to be traded and will be the QB for the Pats this year.
Curran: Pats not interested in trading Jones in first round
Could the Patriots trade Mac Jones in the first round of the NFL Draft? Tom E. Curran shares what he’s hearingwww.nbcsports.com
Whether Belichick actually intends to trade Jones this offseason or just wants to put some heat on his third-year quarterback remains unclear.
And Merloni said he left the gig because he got sick of having a negative take on everything that came down the road.WEEI hired Adam Jones for the afternoon slot to be exactly like Felger, dump on everything every team does, Felger has admitted they make stuff up and don’t believe some of the things they say.
Exactly right. As PT Barnum (who was a slimeball who ran a circus) once said, there's a sucker born every minute. Talk radio reels 'em in.thats what blows my mind
Felger (and it sounds like Adam Jones as well, but i wouldnt know i never have or will listen to him) is like the WWF of radio.. its all fake contrarian BS to stir up artificial drama... and despite knowing that, people still tune in and listen
absolutely fascinating, and sad.
Thank GOD for Mike ReissReiss was on this morning and was excellent
The Curran/Perry podcast used to be my go-to Pats podcast, but it became unlistenable as Curran leaned more and more into narratives. I think he's good when he sticks to on-the-field stuff and off-the-field stuff he knows to be true, but when he starts trying to interpret off-the-field stuff he becomes just another Felger, and not a good one at that.I've made the switch to podcasts exclusively as well.
