Which New England Patriots Players Are Most Important for a Playoff Run?
Which New England Patriots Players Are Most Important for a Playoff Run?
A Tuesday special, looking at the key players to a playoff run. The big guns have to play like the big guns…
Why is Matthew Slater a Pro Bowl special teamer? His tackle on punt returner Jacoby Jones (8:21 remaining) is one example. Slater worked away from a double-team at the line of scrimmage (Chykie Brown/Jeromy Miles) and outran everyone up the middle of the field, located the ball, took a perfect angle and broke down perfectly from a full-sprint to bring down Jones after just 2 yards – fighting through a stiff-arm. It doesn’t get any better than that.

why are analysts so short sighted? why do they focus so much on numbers without looking at the context? they seem to never learn. they make mock drafts only have to guys with great numbers becomes busts and then they give the quarterback with the best numbers the MVP award. they never seem to consider the supporting cast surrounding the qb and the quality of teams he faced
It’s the problem with trying to predict what will happen. No one really knows for sure and while there are certainly things you look for in scouting a player, whether or not he puts it all together, clicks with the quarterback, etc. is up to what’s inside him.
Upsets will always be what makes sports great, but they’re only upsets when all the “analysts” pick a favorite.
I think a team that shows how our season could’ve went is the Atlanta Falcons. Both teams have key players on both sides of the ball on IR and have rookies (both drafted and undrafted) starting for their respective teams. Yet we are postseason bound and the falcons have had a very disappointing season. I think this is something for people (experts and fans alike) should consider when looking at this patriots team. All that being said, what do you think the main difference between them is?
Interesting point. Hard for me to speak on what the Falcons’ problems have been, but the Patriots have a pretty unique recurring characteristic of coming back after being down by a lot. Tom Brady’s a big part of that difference as well.
