Pats lost the LT they called up from their PS, so they're scraping the bottom of their roster for LT. I just wish we would be able to take advantage of that.
He just immediately panics when he's got a clean pocket.
100% the issue and BB knows it.
The play calling/coaching isn't the problem. It's execution. We're seeing ridiculously clean pockets and wide open WRs. Minshew just can't settle down enough to make the throws he needs to.
Technically NE is the "home" team.
He's looked pretty good so far. Got his facemask yanked on that last drive when he was in position to make a huge play and took on the doubleteam to get in on that sack with Buck.
I remember when Baker Mayfield was a draft prospect and there was a lot of talk about whoever drafted him needing to make sure to prioritize scheming out of pocket launch points to help minimize his height being an issue with passing down the middle of the field. Young probably could benefit from that. Minshew too to be honest...
I've seen us do that a handful of times this game. Speed and someone else showing blitz down at the line and bailed into coverage was one in particular on that last drive I saw.
That's pretty common for QBs of his stature.
Absolutely. He doesn't have the high end athletic traits or Brents or Rush, but he can just flat out play. He's doing the same thing he did in college. Just locks WRs up and plays the run well.
