Pats Roster Planning: Offense
- Thread starter jsinger121
- Start date
Per Lazar, Newton is planning something similar in Georgia later in the spring.
There were rumblings of Stidham not having enough of a desire to beat out Cam and win the #1 spot. If true, this signals that the young quarterback has heard the message loud and clear.
With his returning skills, I am fine if he only serves as an emergency/backup WR. I think he has carved out a solid role on this team.
If that Jonnu Smith tweet pinned atop his twitter feed isn't BS, it might be worth watching ... but I'm doubtful
Gallup is really good. Gilmore is better. But given the circumstances it might be a good move for NE.
Assuming that this has any truth at all.
These rumors are fun but I say the general guideline is that the quoted account has 1. a blue mark and 2. more than 10k followers.
Not your fault, @BigSoxFan. Just would like to have less of Twitter rumors that really come and go.
Let’s think about having Andrews back! And we can stop talking ourselves into Karras as a good starting center.
Ha, always good to find another Gallup fan. Logically, doesn’t really make much sense to trade Gilmore for a guy who is an UFA next offseason though. But the thought of Gallup/Agholor flanking the TEs with Jules/Bourne/Meyers working the middle was enticing.You don't have to delete. It was fun to think about having Gallup on this team
Embarrassment of the riches. I am just chuckling with joy. Perhaps the best OL since the mid-2000 run?

I wonder if the line will look like this:
Wynn, Onwenu, Andrews, Mason, Brown
Or this:
Brown, Wynn, Andrews, Mason, Onwenu
Wynn, Onwenu, Andrews, Mason, Brown
Or this:
Brown, Wynn, Andrews, Mason, Onwenu
My bet is the first. Although brown and Wynn on the same side would also be amazing
Hope he also invites along someone competent to throw them the ball.
Anyone else find it ironic that Mark Sanchez was the guy tweeting this?

In terms of depth if could very well be, but last year's starters were better (basically replace Brown with Thuney).
Generally agree, but some of that gap is filled by the difference between year 1 Onwenu and year 2 Onwenu. And none of the starters has been injury free, so the depth will likely become important.
My dad and I have a saying (for years and years running now): it's a league of attrition.
That's interesting. Would be nice if we have an "extra" pick we were not already counting on after the previous announcement.
What I had read about the "loss of the KVN (or Collins)" pick was because Byrd played more than expected. If that was true, it makes some sense that Byrd's play shouldn't have wholly negated the pick, but rather downgraded it from 4th to 5th.
But I have no idea what I am taking about.

He should use "Sanchize" as a handle. I had to blow up his picture to make sure it was "the" Mark Sanchez.
He might be too short for the Pats liking but if they trade down... wow

He is a really good player. Injury and height concerns are the only thing keeping him out of the 1st round. I remember when BC played him a few years ago and we had a good secondary. Or at least I thought so before he did whatever he wanted. I would love him with #46, if he made it there.
If you click the link, this is in the Orange County Great Park (that big orange thing in the background is a tethered observation balloon), in Irvine - just up the street from me.
I'm not going to second guess the Pats from afar but this really is the easiest pats pick like ever to second guess. Not highly rated on scouts boards, the georgia kid was really kid, had right wing tatoos, the georiga kid was really good, highish pick for a kicker, hey did i mention the georgia kid was good after all?
I get it that drafting an unheard of racist is a bad call - but there's not really any guarantee that Blankenship is actually a good kicker.
He played most of his games in domes/good weather & was only 1 for 3 from 50+, among the worst among regular kickers (Folk was 2 for 3). NFL kickers on the whole were 106 for 168 from 50+ last year, 63% on an average of over 5 attempts per team.
On the whole, NFL kickers hit 81% of their fgs from 40-49 & Blankenship hit 82%, playing in the aforementioned nice weather (Folk hit 92%).
NFL kickers hit 93% of their fgs from 30 to 39 yards - Blankenship hit 92% (Folk hit 100%).
Blankenship was above average in xps (96% compared to 93% for league & 91% for Folk), & hit all 10 of his kicks from under 30 (Folk was 6 for 6), but I don't see a single thing in his kicking profile that would imply that he would have been a good selection to be the kicker for a cold weather team.
Weird side note - one would expect kickers to be slightly better at extra points than they are at 30-39 yards fgs because on average the kick is a bit shorter & they can choose where to place the ball, but last year NFL kickers hit 92.989% of fgs from 30 to 39 & 92.969% of extra points.

Like investing, you have to ride your winners and cut your losers early. At least BB is doing the latter here.
Yup. A 3% return on a 5th round pick is a little disappointing but we’ll manage.
Believe he was the third Reich-footed kicker we've cut in the last 2 years or so.
My only speculation (and am not a kicker by any means) could be that kickers have a little more time to prepare on FGs from 30-39 (i.e. if it's 3rd down from the 14, they know there's a good chance they're kicking the next play, unless they're Billy Cundiff), while TDs can be more sudden. (I guess the way to check would be to compare the XP% on TDs say greater than 10 yards vs ones on goal-to-go scores).
Or it's just statistical noise?

Really psyched White is returning

That would be fantastic. Now pick up a guy late in the draft or pick up a UDFA to fill the last RB spot and they're good to go at that position. Nice.
This great news, and it's becoming harder and harder seeing them keep all 10 of their draft picks.
