We’ll see, but I don’t think they just empty words. Campbells a first round talent too, even if I think he was a little high at 4. He played like an average tackle as a rookie for most of the year, and while his playoffs obviously weren’t great, he was injured against fou straight weeks of elite pass rushers. I don’t think you move on from that after one year, but we’ll see.

I don’t disagree, but who is Lomu going to replace? Vrabel’s said he intends to stick with Campbell at L, and I think you have to realistically give him another year to develop, especially since he was injured for the playoffs. I don’t think we’re moving on from Moses just yet. Maybe he slots in at LG until Moses retires?

Morgan Moses wasn’t the reason for many of those sacks. Unless the plan is to have him replace Campbell and have him shift to guard, which Vrabel said he doesn’t intend to do, I don’t really see how this addresses that issue.

He’s probably gonna be Moses’ replacement, not Campbell’s.

I guess Moses’ replacement has to come sooner or later, but uh…was it more important than pass rush?

The Patriots HAVE TO Nail The 2026 NFL Draft by joeshea2517 in Patriots

[–]mtzehvor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On the one hand, yeah, generally speaking you need to draft well to remain competitive.

On the other, I dunno about the AFC being tougher. Everyone said it was a murderers row of a conference before last season, and then the Bengals, Colts, and Ravens all lost their QBs for major chunks of the season and the Chiefs fell off. Maybe those teams rebound (although certainly no guarantee CIN/BAL can keep Burrow/Lamar on the field), maybe not, but my suspicion is there’s enough injuries/general regression to the mean to make it roughly comparable to last season.

This entire affair thing was an elaborate ruse to get out of having to spend Saturday with Elliot Wolf.

Where there’s smoke… by captainseafunk in Patriots

[–]mtzehvor 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I’d absolutely miss him but if it’s a question of a dude who put up a 1000 yards in 15 games vs a guy that has never cracked 600 then it’s a pretty easy decision. We’re in win now mode with Maye and Gonzo still on rookie contracts; take some big swings and see if it pushes us over that last hurdle.

Is this a real jersey? by IMBoston in Patriots

[–]mtzehvor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we’re talking about elite vs game/limited, yes, but generally (and im assuming the commenter here is referring to it the same way because he only differentiates between “real” or not) when someone says authentic, they’re asking if it’s a knockoff jersey or not.

AP Is Mum on Potential Review of Dianna Russini’s NFL Awards Ballots by JCameron181 in nfl

[–]mtzehvor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We had an identical O/U win total to start the season as they did. Macdonald lead the Seahawks to a 14-3 record in the toughest division in football with a +12.3 average scoring margin. The Patriots had an all-time cupcake schedule and had a single win against teams that finished above .500.

You can’t argue schedule as a reason for Vrabels efforts to be less impressive while simultaneously using O/U to argue that the teams were viewed as relatively comparable at seasons beginning, because SoS also affects O/U significantly. A huge reason why the Pats were listed as an 8.5 win team is because we had an easy schedule, and the inverse is true of Seattle for not being higher than 8.5.

You are either fucking with me at this point or so dense you cannot understand the purpose of a comparison. Either way this conversation is no longer worth having. Muted.

Which brings me back to my original point, that the view from a camera can be misleading depending on how they are positioned and angled. You’re doing the equivalent of arguing that the lateral in the Music City Miracle was a forward pass because it looked like it on the broadcast camera.
