The New England Patriots did not want to rely heavily on their receiving body for 3 weeks.
Of course, the critical moment of Week 2 led Cam Newton as opposed to the Seattle Seahawks to a positive signal, especially after the quarterback went out with Julian Edelman and N’Keal Harry, but in addition to Edelman and Harry, who all lead the team. with 15 receptions, New England receivers combined for only 10 receptions in 3 games.
Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, however, is still positive about the positional organization. He expressed precisely on Tuesday, appearing satisfaction with the organization as it is.
“Yes, I think our receiver numbers are Array,” Belichick told reporters Tuesday. “We have intensity there and the young players, adding Gunner (Olszewski) who is now in RI, but I would come with him in this organization, those guys are all young and getting bigger.
“Jakobi (Meyers, a catcher) is on the list and would also enter that category – N’Keal (Harry) too, for that matter. We have a lot of young players, then some delight in Julian (Edelman) and Damiere (Byrd, nine receptions). It’s a band that keeps getting better,” Belichick said. We’ll compare them as we pass and see who we think is ahead of other guys who might just be us. So it’s a smart competitive scenario with some young players. We’ll see how this evolves, but it’s smart to paint with them. “
The clever fortune of the Patriots ground game, which leads the NFL with 534 yards on the court (178 consistent with the game), one of the main reasons why the offense is 28 in pass attempts and 22 in passing yards. qualification team, and for a smart reason.
But wouldn’t the Patriots get even more help?That led many others to think that the Patriots may simply be an industry for a more sensible catcher like Odell Beckham Jr. of Cleveland, Browns teammate Jarvis Landry or Allen Robinson of Chicago.
Belichick, at least for now, is satisfied with the group.
