This seems like a dumb move that we'll regret by mid season

 

NT's are hard to find.  Watch McCall ball out in New England.  I have a hard time believing our 300 pound DTs masquerading as NTs will fair very well against 320-300 pound guards.

3-4 is over,4-3 again now

If we went through the entire offseason process, FA, draft, training camp, preseason, working on a base 3-4 and then switched to a base 4-3 because we couldn't find the right DT, then I'll have lost all faith in this staff before the preseason is even over.

It almost doesn't even matter anyways though, in today's NFL, most teams are running 3 or 4 WR on most snaps, thus needing an extra DB or 2 anyways, nobody plays base defenses much anymore unless their base has 5 DBs.

If we're not already there, within a few more years, the NFL will mostly have base defense packages that are 3-3-5, 4-2-5, or even 2-4-5, with the LB's in the non 4-2-5 defenses being pass rushers, like we have with Burns.  This is why having Chinn be successful this year and signing him to an extension is so important, I think his versatility is what's needed in today's game.

I still think it had to have been a locker room/off-field issue.  Makes no sense personnel wise and Bekichick recognizes how to use talent, especially defensively.  He was built for the role he was designated for and the team site and coaching staff hyped him all TC.  True, the first depth charts generally don't mean much, but guys don't go from being touted and projected as the starter at an important position to cut before preseason is even over.  Something happened...

So one if the most sought after defensive coordinators in the NFL says his preferred player type at the NT/DT position is not McCall. They really gave him a shot, but he couldn’t do what they wanted. So now half of the Huddle says he is wrong and he will regret it. That sounds about right and not surprising at all.

It's not that.  It's that they advertised him, even after seeing him line up as the starter in TC, as being that guy, then suddenly now don't.  I'm not questioning Evero.  I'm questioning the timing of it and how and why their opinion of him shifted so drastically so quickly - yet, Belichick sees value in him.

Belichick also saw value in a guy like Kony Ealy. So much that he traded for him and got next to nothing in return production wise.

BB makes plenty of questionable personnel decisions, like we do.

Let’s see how this plays out.

      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.
