Formula to the Championship

I liked Derrick Morgan coming out of Georgia Tech. Former first round pick but the question would be why he didn't pan out in Tennessee? I thought he had pretty good potential but he was just undersized in weight.

He isn't undersized! He had a couple seasons of 6.5 sacks! Couple head coaches, DCs, schemes, and I believe he came out the same year as Hardy! Not to mention, takes DEs a couple years. Plus, he is a true 4-3 end playing OLB

New England's success is based on exploiting opponent weaknesses and being more prepared as a result of Bellichek's game planning and attention to detail. Listen to any of his former players and they often say how many situational plays they run based on what BB has seen. Even Butler said he'd seen the play before and focused intercepting the inside slant in practice before the game. 

 

This is why the Patriots aren't seen as "lucky", Bellichek puts a premium on smart players who can adapt to his weekly gameplan rather than pure physical talent players like the Seahawks have. 

 

Consider the way the Patriots used Vereen and Edelman compared to the way the Seahawks used Lynch and Matthews. On Defence, compare the way NE used Browner to the way the Seawawks used Sherman. 

 

The model is there for coaches to build perenial contenders rather than trying to assemble superior talent that will peak and drop off as you struggle against the cap.

    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.  
    • Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
    • Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
