Matty P Help Us, PLEASE

Matt Patricia could be one of the worst play-callers in the NFL. 

He was a decent defensive coordinator back in his first-stint with the Patriots, winning a couple Super Bowls. 


But when he was ‘announced’ as the offensive coordinator people should’ve been concerned, puzzled and BAFFLED at the decision. As a Patriots fan, WHAT IN GOD'S NAME IS BILL DOING????? Did we see this guy in Detroit? I mean cool, guy’s a rocket scientist, but he can’t call an offense for shit. 


Calling a 3 yard out to Jakobi Meyers every play won’t get you in the end zone. I do like, however, the deep shots that Mac took to Devante Parker and Jonnu Smith. 


The offense has been so one dimensional ever since Brady left; we’ve had a decent-to-good running back room, but the passing offense hasn’t been there. 


Mac showed some flashes of ‘good quarterbacking’ last year, but wasn’t really given any great opportunities to throw the ball downfield with John McDaniels’ patented 3rd and 26 screen passes. Not to mention the horrendous receiving core he was given. 


Trying to get Mac in the right head space to throw the ball deep down the field will make this offense much better. Now with a bigger receiver in Devante Parker, a yard after the catch goblin with Jonnu Smith, Mac should have the confidence to give his guys a 50/50 ball. Also, once Tyquan Thornton, hopefully, comes off IR he can add speed and a much needed deep threat.


Another big piece Kendrick Bourne will only help this offense, everyone knows that. SO TELL ME WHY HE IS IN MATT PATRICIA’S DOG HOUSE. I mean, okay, he missed a team meeting, but he was in the game for two snaps and had a 41-yard catch. He was our best receiver BY FAR on Sunday.


Listen to me here, please. Matt and Bill, put your ego and “the patriot way” to the side and start the best player. If we wanna have a chance to make the playoffs this offense needs to step up big time. 


The Patriots play the Steelers Sunday. I expect Mac to start to want to stretch the ball downfield. Matty P, help us all and win a ball game.

Transfer Portal Watchlist: WR Eric McAlister

Image
Courtesy of the Idaho Press  Eric McAlister was a 3-star prospect in the class of 2021 (0.8600 rating via 247Sports) from Azle, TX where he was named District Co-MVP in 2020. When he committed to Boise Stae he ranked as the 916th best recruit in the country and the 133rd ranked player in Texas.  McAlister redshirted his freshman year, but in 2022, he made his impact. Starting only two games, he registered 259 receiving yards on 11 catches and four touchdowns.  2023 was a different story. Averaging almost 19 yards per catch, McAlister has been dominating the Mountain West. McAlister announced his transfer after a week 9 loss to Fresno State 37-30, where he received 19 targets, which was the most in the country that week.  McAlister told Bronco Nation News that a “fractured relationship with coach Andy Avalos” is owed part of the blame it did not work out in Boise.  On Nov. 12 Boise State fired Avalos.  Since then, McAlister has opened up to the idea of retur...

Transfer Portal Watchlist: RB Deion Hankins

Image
Photo Courtesy of Univerity of Texas at El Paso By: Bobby Cushing As a high school recruit Deion Hankins held offers from Arkansas, Oklahoma State, and Utah before eventually committing to UTEP. But after back-to-back losing seasons, Hankins has hit the transfer portal.  He was a member of the All Conference-USA FreshmanTeam in 2020 and the  All Conference-USA Second Team in 2022  Rushing for over 800 yards on 157 attempts (5.2 yards per carry) along with five touchdowns, Hankins contributed to a majority of the Miner's success on the ground this year.  While watching Hankins you can see he is a bruiser coming from the backfield, almost like a wrecking ball. Hankins looks for contact. At 226 pounds, it is hard to find a linebacker in the country who would want to do the Oklahoma drill with this back.  When you watch his highlights he might not have the top-end, home-run speed, but it has not seemed to stop him from being productive.  Hankins is a graduate t...

Zappe Time?

No Mac, no problem? Not so fast, but Bailey Zappe could be a guy.  The Patriots fell victim to Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay on Sunday, 27-24 in overtime. All things considered, the game turned out much better than most Patriot fans expected with Mac Jones out. Brian Hoyer was slated to start and did until Isaiah Wynn decided to become a revolving door and let Rashan Gary blow up his shoulder.  In stepped Bailey Zappe, a fourth-round pick out of Western Kentucky. In his last season at WKU, he passed for over 5,900 yards and 62 touchdowns, which are both NCAA records.  Zappe overall played well over expectations, completing 10 of 15 passes for 99 yards and a touchdown.  Much like Mac last year, Zappe was not given the opportunity to really let the ball fly. On the off chance that we were given the chance to throw the ball, he was letting it rip, especially on the touchdown pass to Devante Parker.  Zappe had a little zip on the ball, it really looked good out of his ...
