The concern for Stidham is his poise. In college 2018 he had Sam Darnold’s chuck & duck tendency, he did not show pocket courage. His accuracy was awful under pressure. In NFL preseason 2019 he reduced his 2018 happy feet a bit; some of same panic in pocket could be seen vs Carolina, the 3rd...

Some people believe that no matter what happens going forward here in NE post-Brady, BB’s status as best HC of modern times is secure. If the near future unfolds in a not implausible way, there is an oft-ridiculed unlikely competitor on the horizon who could challenge that perception. BB is 68...

Interesting profile on Stidham I hadn’t seen before. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.si.com/.amp/college/2018/07/20/jarrett-stidham-auburn-baylor-transfer-family

I looked at Auburn message board to find out more about Stidham’s time there. From what I can gather he’s always been a standout in practice shorts & t-shirt. Main criticisms include happy feet in the face of a rush, becoming inaccurate and excessively panicked under pressure, and lacking...

If you go to pro football reference, every player drafted gets assigned a seasonal and career value score called AV. if we just look at the career AV totals of players drafted by NE vs Balt vs Seat over the last 20, 10 and 5 year increments we see: Pats 20 yr AV total: 2691 Last 10 years: 1245...

This guy is an enigma to me. Why were his foot speed and agility better in 2018, his first year back from injury, then in 2019? When I watched Jennings in 2019 against several subpar opponents (Arkansas) he seemed to lumber around. But then he shows up with intensity and ferocity in big games...

I see the comparison. I think Jones was more flexible, more active and attacked with a plan. Looking back at his college tape it looks like Jones played at 270 and maybe weighs 255 now, is much quicker now than in college. He really made himself into a great player and will probably be in HOF...

he won’t be there

if you haven’t checked out Blacklock, take a look. He’s impressive.

I rewatched the big 12 championship He played great and there’s a lot to like with Murray. I’m sure we can use him in our defense.

I agree And he’s not physical.

if dolphins trade for Thuney + #23 for #26, #39 and #77, this draft could be epic. #26: Ross Blacklock. reminds me of Mean Joe Green. #39: Last of the higher ranked tackles available down to Ezra Cleveland/Josh Jones/Austin Jackson. If none available, then either RB: Helaire, dynamic K...

Pats might need to give late 3rd so that Chicago can save a little face.

Just a thought trying to acquire an undervalued asset. Should be able to get him for 4th rounder. Have Stidham compete with Trubisky for the next year. Give Trubisky to McDaniels for a year+ and see if he can renovate him. The Chicago fans want to run him out of town but he’s very young and a...

I specifically came to this forum to read people's thoughts on deatrich wise's play. Inexplicably, that interesting thread is dumped into a generalized thread of observations regarding "Brady and the Pats". This is the definition of over-moderation. It's soft censorship and there's no reason for it.

Couple thoughts - Deatrich Wise looked great. He put consistent pressure and was abusing Fisher - Hightower played soft before the injury. He's supposed to set the physical tone and didn't bring it. Maybe he wasn't ready to play - Brady was off. Maybe the receivers weren't where they were...

Wow super break downs. I'll watch more of Barnett, hopefully I'm wrong.

Looking for players who dominate defensive lines, who change the line scrimmage with their play, who push the pocket; it seems to me those are the players who make an impact in the NFL playoffs. The fancy outside rushers like Beasley usually disappear and get man-handled against quality...

ESPN is just reeling you in now in order to gut you later. Don't bother reading.
