And being a run 1st team I’m sure with Mims showing he belongs they’d rather have 2 good blockers out there in Davis and Mims rather than Davis and Moore. And Wilson has been too good to really take off the field at all. Walking a fine line between keeping depth and needing to trade him for value now. Not sure what the right answer is moving forward. If he gets scratched moving forward how can we justify keeping him long term? Do we keep 6 WRs to keep him active? Do we deactivate Smith and hurt the special teams? Do we deactivate Mims to keep him happy? This is a rough spot for Saleh and JD. Not sure what the right answer is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he thinks he’s too good for that. You trade him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply haven't seen how Smith impacts special teams like real special teams aces. He isn't a gunner, he isn't a return specialist, he is a body. Our offense isn't good or deep enough to have that luxury. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our special teams has been good and key to our winning so maybe but yeah I would probably agree if we have a suitable gunner to replace him that makes the most sense.

KingOfNewYork Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I want proof Smith is impacting special teams to the point he NEEDS to be active 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby816 Posted November 16, 2022 Author Share Posted November 16, 2022 Is Herbig going to play? Say Cedric will start at RT so Mitchell doesn’t have to rush back. But if we have start Feeney at RG. That’s not good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to believe that last game was a light switch game for Zach. We haven't won in Foxboro since the 2010 season's divisional round, but we do have talent. I have a bad feeling that Bellichick actually tries to take away the quick passes he saw from Zach against Buffalo, where he had success. How he adjusts will be key. Pumped but scared.

Bobby816 Posted November 17, 2022 Author Share Posted November 17, 2022 I think we have to realize how great our defense was against NE just a few weeks ago. We gave up 22 points against them, but 9 of those points were given to them with INTs or ST play, where they didn’t even really move the ball to kick those FGs. We allowed them to have 2 decent drives the whole game. That’s it. And our defense if you ask me is playing even better now. I don’t expect NE to put up points. If Wilson can take care of the ball….. we can win this one relatively easily. No NFL game is easy. But IMO we’re easily the superior team and will be hungry to for revenge in this one. The only advantage they have on us is coaching. And I think Saleh, MLF and Brich have done a good job recently to where we can’t say they’re holding us back.

Smith has logged 1 tackle this season. He isn't even a gunner. Has special teams been good? Sure. And is he a part of that group? Sure. But what has he done to justify taking snaps away from Moore and mims... It sure isn't offense,where he had 4 catches for 57 yds in 9 games... Mims has 4 for 92 in THREE games. Moore has 16 for 203 in eight games with the past one or two being pure decoy as punishment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doumeyer Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 (edited) We can't side step Wison, any longer. He must produce Sunday. Sure the loss of Breece Hall was a devastating loss for Wilson, he had a great repore with him. We have the players but the passing game is HELTER SKELTER right now. It is not all Wilson fault he sure isn't getting any help help Moore. . Edited November 17, 2022 by doumeyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockice_8 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 NEs defense is close to or as good as ours lets not downplay them. They are one of the better units in the NFL. You could make an argument that 3 of the top 5 defensive units are from the AFC East along with DEN/DAL/SF(when healthy) in the mix. This is going to be low scoring and they are going to be even healthier than they were last time around. They are a mirror image of us, they play great D and can run the ball. I think we are slightly better at both and have way more skill players which hopefully is enough. I also think Wilson is better than Mac if he plays up to his capability.

KingOfNewYork Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 All jokes aside if we play how we played a couple weeks ago and just remove 2 of Zach’s throws we win. No need to overthink it. I do expect their offense to play better though. Definitely see a one score game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
