PLAYER OF THE GAME. - Jon JonesSounds of Silence Speaks upPick 6 Blocked punt.1 TackleHonorable mentions Matthew Judon - 3 sacks - 6 tacklesJosh Uche - 3 sacks - 6 tackles - Calling plays apparentlyQUICK BREAK7 yard puntsThoughts on special teams? - Bailey has to go. * Worst punt net yardage in the leagueMarcus Jones give them something in the return game every game it seems like. Just constantly setting up Nick Folk FGsBrandon Schooler the new Special Teams guy? Captain Brown nose. Izzo, Ebner, Schooler....Nick Folk - Nuff Said. 8 FGs to 2 TDs in last 2 games. * He's been released 3 time by Pats in last 3 seasons. Just sayinOut side of the punt game, special teams would be a weapon for the Pats if the offense was anything better than a wet fartQUICK BREAKSkinny Ray's nap Time203 total yards1 fumble essentially 12 points * 2 good pass plays 24 yard screen to Jonnu in the 1st Seem route to Henry in the 4th* Stevenson had a couple decent runs, but 2.7 yards per carry stinks*. Jackobi Myers fumble* Penalties were down today (3) 2 if you don't count the automatic Wynn Top 5 problems with the Offense1. Coaching - Design and scheme has been disjointed and broken since July - Different play book for Zappe then from Mac then from McDaniels then from the summer. No constancy. Patricia learning on the job. Joe Judge is the guy teaching your QB. 2. Coaching - Play calling is predictable and ill advised - Colts were calling out plays on defense - Too many deep routes no crossers - ZERO rhythm * Can Mac change plays at the line?3. O-line - Injuries, penalties, personel - Isaih Wynn the #1 in penalties in the league - Cole strange benched. 9 straight possessions - David Andrews hurt4. Mac Jones - In his head. Jittery. Quick to scramble - Can't pick up the offense or can't will it to success - Accuracy has suffered because of it - Attitude was probably an issue to start the year. Injury - Too much catch up Mac Jones 20/30 146 1TD (1st game with out an INT) - His #1 goal was dont throw an INT - Is that good or bad? 5 - No Yac - Not enough guys who can catch and run. "Play Makers" * Need Parker backIN CLOSINGPatriots 5 - 4 into the bye week *4th in the divisionNeed to fix the offense. - Start with the O-line - Play calling and design to fix Mac * Fire Jake Bailey Play off picture
