    The Michael McCorkle "Mac" Jones Thread

    The "angled drop back" discussion (11:30 of the video) is fascinating. Drop backs are one of those things I've never given a second thought to; QB drops back, then throws. What else is there? But the way the end zone angle shows Jones see the pressure coming, then alter his drop angle to give...

    Which is Your Favorite Pats Signing So Far?

    Honest question, are there benefits to "staying within the round"? I know first round picks come with the fifth year option attached, but is there a defined benefit to, say, the last pick of the fifth vs. first of the sixth?

    Super Bowl LV: Game Thread – Kansas City Chiefs @ Tompa Bay Bucs

    The bolded made me chuckle given these comments from the Bucs QB coach. Brown was supposed to run the exact same route as Edelman from SB49 but ran it backwards, and Brady still hit him. "A.B. on his touchdown catch was supposed to go down and in and then pop back out. He goes out and pops...

    Bledsoe interview

    My dad took me to my first Patriots game, Week 10, 1993. I was 12. Sitting in those metal bleachers in the cold was something else. Bledsoe had been hurt and wasn't starting (until right now, when I looked it up, I remembered it as he wasn't starting since it was his rookie year, but he started...

    I've been lurking on this board for a very long time, and this is, by far, the coolest thing I've seen here. Thank you for posting this.

    Vince Wilfork Retires

    Found the whole game on YouTube. "2006 AFC wild card game: Patriots vs. Jets." (No idea how to link, sorry). Play is in the third quarter, around 1:27 into the video.

    I think that was a playoff game vs. the Jets after the '06 season?

    2017 Butler Watch: Love Me Tender

    I agree that the most likely outcome of all of this is Butler playing under the RFA tender, so hopefully this question is academic. If a player does holdout for the full 10 games, comes back and plays the last 6 in order to accrue their full year of service time, can they then sit out any...

    The Raiders relocation thread (3/27 viva Las Vegas Raiders!!!)

    There's a pretty standard security package with stadium deals: luxury box, concession, advertising/sponsorship, and non-league event revenues. Maybe parking depending on who's building any garages or lots. Basically everything but general admissions ticket revenues.

    Hire Farrell? (12/5: 2018 Option Exercised)

    Very true, of course. Simply pointing out that when negatively comparing JF to Tito, pinch running pitchers can't be used as a mark against him. Edit: replying to SJH. Don't know how quote works.

    Hire Farrell? (12/5: 2018 Option Exercised)

    Tito pinch ran Clay Buchholz in an American League game.
