Raanan: Patricia the clear favorite

did not suit Eli .
I am no expert but Patricia looks to be a very focused coach whenever you see him he is young and been successful
I don't want some retread like Fox wants some fresh blood.

Last April made a top 10 most likely picks for our selection in the draft. He listed over 15 players in all. Not one of them was Evan Engram. Goes to show you how dialed in he and his sources are.

Doesn't sound right to me?

I want my generals to be called "Patton", MacArthur" .... "Stonewall (theres a name), .... Parcells !!!

He better be good .... ; )


IAS ... hoping for the best! Give 'em Patricia!

The only player who would really be out of position is JPP.

The thing is, though, JPP does not strike me as part of the long-term solution. My guess is we cut ties with him as soon as the cap hit makes sense. Too much wear and tear and he’s just not very good any more.

Tomlison as a 3-4 DE would be a question mark but I think he can pull it off.

I think OV and Kennard would thrive in a 3-4. Ditto Snacks and Goodson (if he can stay on the field).

He sets up his schemes differently for each opponent. That is the Patriots way. Its called "where is Waldo?" Where is the weakness in the other team that we need to exploit. Its is entirely different from the McAdoo "one size fits all and if it does not work blame the QB" approach. Remember what BB did against the Buffalo bills for us in SB 25? That is BB and why he is successful. This approach is ingrained into all of his assistant coaches and in particular the defensive coach. If MP become HC he will insist that the same approach be used on the offensive side of the ball while DG will be busy filling the holes on offense left by Reese... meaning fixing the o-line, and getting a feared RB weapon.

Good post, hope you are right. What has been lacking here is coordinating our personnel to our schemes instead of just picking high measurable guys who flame out without getting a second contract.

It is worth pointing out that "can" and "should" are two different things.

Can you shoehorn JPP to 3-4 end? Sure, but you are likely better off finding a player that fits. (Setting aside JPPs play this past season)

Can you play Kennard inside? I guess, but why would you want to when he has the prototypical frame for OLB?

A lot of the discussion has focused on fitting square pegs into round holes because you can.

That said, with Patricia it likely won't be a straight up 3-4 but more of a hybrid, hopefully with versatile players for different packages.
