By Mason Sousa It’s like the old saying goes ‘It’s not who you play it’s when you play them.’  A below average opponent that has significant players dealing with injuries might be enough reason alone for Bailey Zappe to play in his 3rd consecutive NFL game.  Bill Belichick was asked during the Wednesday press conference “Is Mac Jones the starter when he’s ready to go? “We’ll see where he is…

Image courtesy of Patriots.com When Matt Judon signed with the Patriots prior to the 2021 season, he was signed to be a disruptive force. For much of last year, he was just that, but faded towards the second half of the season. Well, it appears Judon is right back to his old ways after dominating the Lions on Sunday afternoon and the NFL recognized it on Tuesday. Judon was named…

One of the most entertaining stories in recent New England memory has been the play of Bailey Zappe the past two weeks. The third-string rookie came into the Patriots game at Lambeau Field after Brian Hoyer’s injury and almost led them to a win against the Packers. He followed that up by winning his first start against Detroit on Sunday. It has been fun, but before you call in sick…

AP Photo/Michael Dwyer The New England Patriots defense was flat out dominate today. It is the only way you can put it. They held the league’s number one offense to 312 total yards in a 29-0 win.

The Detroit Lions have the NFL’s number one offense and much of that is a byproduct of one of the league’s top rushing attacks. Detroit blends an old school and new school approach when running the football. Head coach Dan Campbell wants to be physical and the best way to do it is by pounding the rock.

Patriots: Keeping it simple in the passing game is the key to victory today

October 9, 2022

Keep it simple stupid is an old coaching adage that I think applies to the Patriots when it comes to how they approach today’s game against the Lions offensively. Particularly the passing game. Rookie Bailey Zappe is going to be making his first career and if I were coordinating the Patriots offense, I would build off of what we did last week. I would keep it simple and I would…

By Mason Sousa The Lions have the No. 1 scoring offense through 4 games which is incredible considering they don’t have close to the world talent at the skills positions that are on other rosters.  As wild as that may sound for a team that hasn’t won a playoff game in over 30 years their defense at the same time is dead last in points allowed.  They have scored 140+…

Jones had a limp still, but did drop back a few times, albeit in very light fashion. Right next to him was new practice squad QB Garrett Gilbert and Bailey Zappe, the guy who suddenly has quite a…
