RUMOR: Pats Interested in Vincent Jackson

by

I can’t vouch for this guy but he seems to be a New York radio personality that had good sources when the whole Revis deal went down, and he’s saying that those same trusted sources are telling him the Pats are interested in Vincent Jackson.

You can see his twitter feed where he made the announcement here.

We had heard last year that the Pats have Vincent Jackson rated as their top wide receiver in the NFL (outside of Foxboro I assume) so it probably isn’t much of a secret that they think he’s a player.

The problem starts with Vincent Jackson wanting to be paid somewhere in the $9 million per year range while Randy Moss and Logan Mankins are already complaining about the Patriots and money. Don’t forget Wes Welker’s going to want a new deal pretty soon too. Not sure the Patriots could put together a compensation package that would attract Jackson, and if they did it might make waves in the locker room.

Clearly with seven picks in the first four rounds of the 2011 draft they could probably figure out a compensation package for the Chargers. Though San Diego would probably loathe sending him to New England.

On the field is the place it would make the most sense, especially if Randy Moss is gone after this year.

Meriweather Explains Why He’s Down the Depth Chart

After yesterday it’s hard not to think the Patriots really needs Meriweather to step up. This is the wrong point in his career to take a step backwards. In year four, after sneaking into the Pro Bowl, he really should be starting to make more big plays and making his presence felt. If he gets on track it would be greatly helpful for a team that badly needs him.

This is all I’m going to choose to remember from yesterday. Blocking out everything else.

Well That Sucked (Patriots Offense Edition)…

by

General thoughts/feelings after the game. I don’t check the stats or look back at anything, just the gut reaction of what I saw unfold.

The good thing about week two losses is that by the end of the season they are a distant memory. But this loss today to the Jets has left me baffled.

Our offense looked like a machine in the first half, moving the ball on the Jets defense yard by yard, exerting their will. Brady was moving the ball around to multiple receivers and it seemed like there would be little the Jets could do to stop this offense.

But in the second half I was having flashbacks to 2009. I mean, this was a vintage 2009 game. First half they look great. The we gat a total collapse in the second half. 

While Brady showed flashes of trust with Aaron Hernandez, Gronk and Tate were invisible in the second half. Losing Kevin Faulk didn’t help.

With the Jets missing Calvin Pace and Darrelle Revis this was a prime opportunity to take out a divisional rival on the road. When the teams meet again in December it will be the Jets who will probably have more talented players back on the field.

Last year the Pats could point to not having Welker when they lost there in week two, but this time all we’re left to say is that Brady is still developing chemistry with those not named Welker, Moss, or Faulk.

I’m sure Bill O’Brien’s name will be back in the news again this week. Debating his game plans and use of threats outside of Moss/Welker.  Though not even they could do anything in the second half.

Brady has to take some of the responsibility as well, never seen someone go from so hot to so cold so fast.

Clearly the talent is there on this team, especially on offense. That’s what is so frustrating. It’s all there. When they were clicking versus the Jets they were unstoppable.

But somehow that all just came apart at half time.

And in the second half they weren’t even facing Revis. Jason Taylor was banged up! I don’t even know who was playing in their secondary. And the shmoes shut down an offense that had been clicking on all cylindars.

We all saw Hard Knocks. The Jets barely had 53 guys good enough to make out their roster. Their backups were torched in every preseason game.

How did this happen? I’m at a total loss.
