It could be worse than Ginn as no.1 WR

Gotta admit, NE put their receivers in spot to get injured. As a result, they get injured a lot. Those guys make tough catches for Brady and they pay for it often. On the other hand, Carolina's receivers don't often get injured because the ball travel fast and they get to catch it and brace themselves for contact. And those short 4 yards slants can get painful. Those receivers come outta NE brain dead, like Welker.

I think most of what you say is retarded but this is very true.

New England plays for YAC with dink and dunk. Carolina throws downfield like 90% of the time and Cam has a cannon.

Just a different offensive philosophy, and one that they have to play because of Brady's age and arm strength.

That wasn't the name of the game for them when they went 18-1.

Well it looks like the love affair with Brandon Lafell ended in a hurry.

At one point last year people were wanting him back.

He had a good year last season, but he had other talented WR's, and Gronk to mask his deficiencies.

When Lafell has to be the guy, he folds like a chair. Just like he openly talked about at the end of his time here after the Atlanta game with Steve Smith out with an injury.

I could not believe he publicly stated that.

I find it really hard to believe that we only have 6 drops on long passes.  I feel like Ginn has that number on his own if you just pick his two worst games.  But then again, I actually can't remember any drops on long passes by other receivers.  Most of Funchess' drops were at intermediate range.

    • Man I was hoping if Evero leaves that Ulbrich would be the Panthers DC hire.  He turned the Falcons defensive pass rush into one of the leagues best. 
    • To everyone saying he won't take a DC job and only will be taking a HC job this year, I'm not entirely sure about that. To begin with, in today's NFL, most teams prefer to hire an offensive background coach over defensive. Adding to that, there have been 3 hires so far this year, with 2 of them being defensive guys.  And since there are only going to be so many teams looking to hire a defensive minded HC each year, it decreases his odds.  Also, Saleh was always a hot name in this cycle and teams are probably more familiar with him as they've been looking into him for a while already. Then you look at the openings left... I can't see him wanting to go to the Raiders or Browns.  The Cardinals just fired a defensive coach, can't see them hiring another right after.   That just leaves the Ravens and Steelers.  He's probably too old for the Steelers to have any interest in him and I've got to think the Ravens are going to be looking for an innovative offensive mind type of HC to maximize Lamar's prime window. Sure, he might just sit the season out and try for a HC job next offseason, but I just don't see any fits that make sense for him right now.
    • Falcons continue making good moves. One of the reasons they hired a coach so quickly was because locking up Ulbrich was a priority. The Falcons agreed to terms with defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich on a new three-year deal, per sources. Kevin Stefanski’s first key staff addition come in-house in Atlanta, where Ulbrich’s D set a franchise record with 57 sacks in 2025.
