Hunter2_1 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I thought Hightower would play, given the long week. We'll be in a 5 or 6 DB package most of the time. I'm looking forward to NOT seeing Richards in the box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iothar Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I didn't think Richards did THAT bad of a job. The speed of KC is unreal. A safety playing out of position in a LB role. Stuff probably happens much more quickly up 5 to 10 yards from your normal spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked completely lost and nonreactive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iothar Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Everyone looked bad. The team obviously wasn't ready and Richards was asked to play out of position against probably the fastest offense in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean he was asked to play out of position? 1) He's played close to no snaps over the course of his career in the position I think you're referring to. 2) "In-the box" safety, or a big linebacker is clearly his position. It's where they had him lined up all pre-season. It's pretty clear that's the position or role the coaching staff is trying to carve out for him. If he can't perform in that role, he serves no purpose for this defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iothar Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 It was my understanding the used Richards as a linebacker, which is not his usual position, and the only reason he was their was due to injuries (lack of talent probably had something to do with it). https://nesn.com/2017/09/patriots-notes-jordan-richards-position-change-one-of-week-1s-biggest-surprises/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter2_1 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 It didn't strike me that he was playing the tweener role (Safety in box). It was like they were replacing a linebacker for him. He wasn't supplementing like a tweener would, but replacing. Giving up a lot of bulk and experience there. I think if they had their time again, they'd let Harris have more than TWO snaps.

I don't want to see him there again, but given the circumstances, it wasn't that bad to me. The first 3 quarters were manageable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
