A revision of the scenarios that will be presented to the Pats in the next months
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Reflections and quick notes on the New England Patriots and the NFL:
1. In motion: One of the most fascinating aspects of the Patriots’ marshal position is that any team movement can create an unparalleled opportunity for them. Llamen a esto, el Efecto Domino Darnold.
Adam Schefter, de ESPN, reported the domingo that the New York Jets had attracted quite a few llamas from teams expressing interest in Sam Darnold. The Jets, following Schefter, did not approve the interest, but he also made a firm decision about the future of the camp marshal (he has the 2nd selection in the 2021 draft).
Regardless of how the Jets proceed, they will have some impact on the Patriots.
For example, could Darnold be interested in the San Francisco 49ers, making Jimmy Garoppolo an option for New England? On the other hand, if the Jets are already with Darnold, they will have a team interest in the need for a QB, in their second pick, including the draft table and which will be available for the Patriots (15th selection).
These are the scenarios that coach Bill Belichick and his team started dissecting.
An executive NFL executive signaling to the correspondent of ESPN the Jets, Ryk Cimini, which can imagine a poor selection of the first round or the second round, by Darnold, who enters his last year of contract as a newcomer – and may 3 have to decide on the option of the fifth year.
All you have to do is ask: ¿Considerarían los Patriots ir por Darnold?
It seems very unlikely, however, that the general manager of the Jets, Joe Douglas, needs an ‘impetus’ species to the rivals of the AFC This is to be considered carefully, but such food scenarios should be timed for a long time in motion the position of marshal.
2. Flexibility of Mariota: Last week we explored the possibility of Marcus Mariota for the Patriots, and here’s more: with the cost projected for the acquisition (selection of roundabout) and his salary (10.6 million dollars) reasonable, meaning that New England has the flexibility to add QB if the opportunity is presented at the time (p. Ej. Garoppolo or a draft decision) .Per to my initials, Mariota will provide a combination of experience (61 initiated parties), the opportunity of a functional air game, an abundant space in the top salary to put some important piece in the QB position. Mariota series a solid plan B SI Garoppolo is not available initially.
3. The panorama of QBs: The draft analyst ESPN, Todd McShay, projected a dozen marshals of the camp recruited with the 12 first selections in his last draft attempt, which created a scenario that would lead to the needy Patriots, who had the 15th selection. In his first podcast rumbo on the draft, McShay and Mel Kiper Jr., it’s seen as having six players with projections to be titled, with Kyle Trask of Florida as the sixth and Jamie Newman of Wake Forest as possible comedians – and there is a notable sequel to the sequels.
4. The connection with Gase: The former coach of the Dolphins and Jets, Adam Gase, developed a connection with Belichick in the last two years, and an effect of this series on the incorporation of Bo Hardegree into Belichick’s technical team this year. Hardegree, 36 years old, has been with Gase as an offensive assistant. He played camp marshal at the University of Tennessee, and recently met with Patriots staff.
5. The label game: February 23 marks the start of the 15-day sale in which the teams can assign franchise labels, and the surprise team has a lot to pass on to Joe Thuney (probably the same Thuney), the corollary is that the Patriots are not usarán. Enthusiasts, interesting for New England, that have large hooks that lend themselves to the body of receptors, close and close defensive lines, will be first-rate players will be labeled and will not be persecuted.
6. Watt is on: JJ Watt and the Houston Texans play an agreement to separate their fires from the fires, and ESPN reporter Jeremy Fowler asked people about the league’s series on Watt options, with the Patriots among the top five. The Pats have urgent needs on the defensive line, and Watt has a lot to offer, but he has an important question to solve and that is important for Watt – the opportunity to play for a champion.
7. The gesture of Slater: When the Patriots transported 76 workers from the Super Bowl to the passing team in the team plane, veteran captain Matthew Slater was here to express his gratitude to those workers who numbered the players and the organization, along with the president of the team. team Jonathan Kraft and the governor of Massachusetts, Charlie Baker, among others. A lot of class gestures by one of the most classy Pats players.
8. Potential in the Concept: Recall when the Patriots selected defensive tackle Richard Seymour with the sixth global pick of 2001, and had preoccupations with his return, (1.5 catches in his last season in Georgia)? This salio is good, and the powder has a potential example this year, only that is more profound in the draft. Georgia Tre’McKitty’s Closing Ceremony will host its Florida State transfer transfer in 2020, for the “Big Money Dinner” in the Senior Bowl with its physical and athletic races, including McShay and Kiper. McKitty of six pieces and 5 pulgadas with 245 books, is projected for media rounds.
9. Drew’s Companions: Feliz cumpleaños 49, Drew Bledsoe. It was difficult to believe that he had passed 10 years since the induction at the Salon of the Bledsoe Family. One of the few parts of the past decade has been bled by Bledsoe on the stage of the Patriots and well received.
10. Sabían qué: The Patriots will play against the Texans in 2021 and will be the seventh consecutive year to be played. Since 2002, the NFL has been the largest player in any division. The largest increase is from 10 – Patriots against the Colts from 2003 to 2012.
