The Patriots return home to the friendly confines of Gillette Stadium in Foxboro to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars. Myers prevailed, and the Jaguars held the lead to win the game.
Game Ball: Head coach Gus Bradley deserves the game ball.
The Patriots enter after dispatching the Buffalo Bills 40-32 on Sunday. Brady hasn’t thrown a pick in three straight games.
The average grades for the Jaguars offensive line against the Dolphins, according to PFF, was a dismal -2.20 overall, -1.72on pass blocking, and a -0.72on run blocking.
The Dolphins’ offensive linemen are well aware of the fact that they won’t always have favorable run ratios, but they know that if their pad level and technique improves, they can win the battle up front.
The Panthers defense looked soft down the middle early in the game. The Jaguars had numerous chances to fold up their tents and drop this game but they didn’t.
Things aren’t looking good for this team moving forward. But this week, the Jaguars are not going to beat themselves with stupid penalties and let the events of the game overwhelm them.
What do the Dolphins need to do to keep their offense on schedule? He made a big play in the fourth quarter on a pass from Ryan Tannehill to Greg Jennings on 3rd and 1 on the Dolphins final drive. The Patriots have allowed 147 rushing yards per game, and the drop in skill from Miami to New England should open up more holes for running back T.J. Yeldon. “We had to have a game like this to see where our bar is and see where we’re at”. It’s no different than when I would catch 10 balls previous year.
After the last one, Bortles took over. That was Allen Robinson on Sunday. September .
Big Cat Country, the Jaguars site on SB Nation, did a feature on Odrick discussing his feelings about his first matchup against his former team in Miami. Plus, when we hit, it stopped them.
Linebackers Dan Skuta and Telvin Smith are both playmakers for the defense; flying all over the field and each had a pass defensed on Sunday. But he had enough support with Bortles adding 27 yards on a pair of scrambles, Marqise Lee adding 12 on an end-around and Denard Robinson chipping in with a 9-yard gain on his only carry of the game before going out with a knee injury.
With Toby Gearhart already injured it leaves Jacksonville with just three healthy running backs coming into Foxboro; Yeldon, Bernard Pierce and Corey Grant. Skuta is a physical player that may be able to push the Patriots tight end off his routes at times.
“We don’t anticipate that he’ll be ideal throughout the season”, Bradley said.
He finished with 48 receptions for 548 yards and two touchdowns.
With Johnathan Cyprien missing Sunday’s game due to a calf injury, rookie James Sample was thrust into the starting strong safety spot in just his second career game.
“Sure, we missed a couple of things, but to me this was the type of team victory I had talked about all week – every component of the team stepping up and doing what they needed to do”. One week after being on the practice squad, Peyton Thompson was asked to be the “next man up”.
