Watching the game last week I notice that Shaq was bringing an attitude to our defense.  He laid wood on a couple of plays and that infected the rest of the defense.  They brought an attitude we haven't seen since he was out of the lineup.

Shaq and the defense is going to make it a long day for the rookie.  Mac Jones is probably the best rookie QB for the season but he is going to have a tough day this weekend.  Not to mention that Gilmore is going to get at least one Int this weekend.   I also think that since he was with the team until recently he will have some insight on the Patriot's offense.

Definitely his best year ever if he stays healthy. Questions was never was he good…it was more along the lines of is he a 20m dollar LB because that’s what we will be paying him and if not, is he worth a restructure?

I think either way it was a bit too much whether we pay that now or later but at least he isn’t getting paid and not doing poo aka whiny Droppie Anderson getting all the praise for not dropping an onside kick for 15 million a year.

The point, IMO is that Shaq is be attitude for this team.

You can tell that we have core leaders on each level currently on the defense which is why they are thriving. Reddick, DaQuan Jones, Shaq, Gilmore, Chinn, even Jackson is coming along from a vocal standpoint. 

I agree but it seems Shaq brings a nastiness that infects the others.

I just seems to me that when he's on the field the others play with more violence than when he was out.

I LOVE IT.

I got shouted down before the year started because I bemoaned the lack of leadership on the team, especially as it relates to the offense. Young leaders have emerged on defense which contributes to their success. They have swagger.

I was told that Sam Darnold was a leader. Well, maybe that needs to be reassessed. I just don't see it. And apologies to CMC fanboys, he's a great player, but not necessarily a leader on this team. They'll flounder until they can find one.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
