Apparition Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 The issue with the Bears is that Matt Nagy is an idiot whose scheme forces Fields to hold the ball too long, as is evidenced by the fact that Fields leads the league in average air yards per completion but is completing under 60% of his passes and taking more sacks than anyone. The Bears' OL might not be as bad as the stats indicate, but Nagy is 100% making both them and Fields look worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seam route to a double covered Bourne against the Browns, and the flag route to Henry are perfect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signing a guy like Mike Williams or Christian Kirk would certainly be helpful, but I think the team is probably going to focus on the growth of guys like Jonnu and KB from year 1 to year 2 in the system.

Mike Williams would make this a lethal, top 5 offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottishpatriot Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Are we not believers in Wilkinson? There's a joke somewhere in there about him becoming our sharpest downfield weapon but I don't want to mention anyone's sword on the internet.

I'm actually a big believer that Kendrick Bourne can eventually become an Antonio Brown-type receiver (minus the insanity), but I can fully understand if that's not a bet everyone is willing to make. But it would also not surprise me if the coaching staff shares my view and thus doesn't bother making a big investment in the WR position next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown was easily a top 10 WR in the league at his height. I still think for Mac to really take a jump he will need a burner, yac monster type WR .. not necessarily a traditional #1 guy but someone how has a chance of taking a screen 50+ yards. All of the WR's on this team are quick but will get run down by teams secondaries. I agree that a large part of the offseason will surround making sure Jonnu has a major step up in production year 2 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m haynes Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 (edited) IMO the Pats need an elite WR, currently they don't have one and I don't see Bourne becoming one in the future. He's a good WR. Look at the team that have powerful offensive. GB = Adams KC= Hill Bill = Diggs Minn = Jefferson Miami= Waddle Cinci = Ja'Marr Chase Dallas = Cee Dee Lamb There's other as well. You want to see Bourne and the others game improve, add a dynamic WR. Today's NFL games is built for the passing game. No matter how good your defense is you still need to put up points. Bourne covered by the 2nd CB... know your talking. The reason the Bill were successful with the out routes against the Pats is becasue they had the shift their defense to stop Diggs from the big plays which the Pats currently lack. PS Now do I see the Pats drafting one.. no, I would be shocked. Edited January 4, 2022 by m haynes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS Now do I see the Pats drafting one.. no, I would be shocked. Exactly M, I'm seeing people say we just need to develop what we have, or wait for X and Y to step up and it should be alright. I call BS. Nearly every team in the playoffs has a very scary WR. Our number 1 WR is a converted QB who can't buy a TD. Tyreek Hill, Steffon Diggs, Jamar Chase, Keenan Allen, AJ Brown....these kind of players is what we are routinely up against. We don't give other teams that problem. Yes we have a good running game, but so do a lot of the teams who have a great WR AS WELL. We went to the pool once to get one recently in the draft, and failed (in Harry). So we are 0-1 on attempts since Aaron Dobson (?). Try again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac accuracy and patience, over the middle would be so much more deadly. Just think what Macs numbers would be if he had the space Allen had when we last played the Bills.

Apparition Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I can't believe we're 22 years into the Belichick era and still on this "we need an elite WR" trip. Have y'all just not been paying attention? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody could beat man coverage against the Bills. If we have one player who will scare defenses it will be a top 5 offense. I would move off Agholor if we could and add a true #1 WR. Bourne and Meyers as the other 2 starters are fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
