He has no idea what is about to happen, this summer.
We did our yearly planning and will be making a trip up to Boston this summer to spend a week there... during training camp.
To be RIGHT THERE, and (hopefully) get some autos and pics? I seriously can't wait.
ROAD TRIP.
The Patriots are notorious for starting the season slow.
This is a growing team with another dose of young contributors and others taking a second-year leap.
Good challenge in Jacksonville, but not impossible.
The Patriots were 1-2 this time last year. Lost to LV & PIT.
Fans were calling for Drake to be benched and Vrabel fired.
Ended up winning the AFC. Maye All-Pro. Vrabel COY.
Serves as a good reminder that the NFL is going to look vastly different than it does now.
Get it RIGHT:
One area I’m watching tomorrow is how RG Greg Van Roten steps into the starting role.
Jacksonville blitzes at a 36.7% rate, ninth-highest in the NFL, while also using simulated pressures and line stunts.
He struggled against Pittsburgh. Jacksonville saw.
HEAVY LEAN ON THE LEAN & HEAVIER
With Harold Landry III still out and Dre’Mont Jones missing Week 3, we’re going to see a larger dose of two rising young edge rushers in New England.
It’s your time Gabe Jacas and Elijah Ponder.
First month of the season is extension to the preseason for New England. As frustrating as that is, it’s the truth.
Imagine what it’ll be when they eventually lose another preseason game and add a regular season game.
It’s coming.
Lowest pct of offensive drives ending in a TD this season
Steelers 4.0%
Patriots 10.0%
Dolphins 10.5%
Falcons 13.9%
Cardinals 14.3%
Browns 14.3%
Broncos 14.3%
So what is Marvin Harrison Jr’s ceiling?
🔹 31 games (28 starts)
🔹 104 rec (193 tgts)
🔹 1,526 receiving yards
🔹 12 receiving TDs
I can’t see them trading him, let alone for a day 3 pick, if I’m being honest.

Crazy that he is maybe WR3 on their team and T-5th target.
Arizona Target Count:
23 - McBride
14 - Wilson
11 - Bourne
7 - Love
4 - Harrison Jr/Allgeier 😳
1 catch on the year.

He's also only 8 receptions away from 200 career receptions.
Only four other Patriots running backs have done that.
1. Kevin Faulk | 431
2. James White | 381
3. Tony Collins | 261
4. Sam Cunningham | 210
5. Rhamondre Stevenson | 192
Getting Carlton Davis III back for week 3 is big. Charles Woods did a good job filling in, but we'll need as many starters (looking at you, Woodson) back there as we can get.
Washington, BTJ, and Meyers will be a good challenge.
