Pull Winovich out of the niche and throw him back into the chimney on Monday night in the New England Patriots’ ninth week’s victory over the New York Jets.
Winovich had to do or say something smart this week because, his official shooting count has not yet been exceeded, the sophomore professional has noticed his longest playing time since at least the fourth week of Monday night in the 30-27 win. He finished fourth for the Patriots with four tackles. He stopped Jets ball carrier Frank Gore for 1 backyard and did not win in consecutive tackles in the third quarter.
“Oh friend, it was wonderful to be back with the boys, ” said Winovich on Monday night. “It was hard to be out the last two games, just watching the team from the band line, Arrayyes, there’s a sentence in Serbia, and I can kill this, it’s ‘ako Bog da’, which is ‘God willing’. I’m not religious, but God willing. I was there, I had a chance and I felt healthy.
Here are Winovich’s consistent percentages consistent with the week:
Week 1: 67. 6% Week 2: 74. 6% Week 3: 54. 2% Week 4: 66. 1% Week 5: Bye Week 6: 34. 4% Week 7: 19. 7% Week 8: 8. 6%
Winovich went on to detail why he saw such a sharp drop in clichés since week 6 after the break.
“Yes, I can’t communicate about the game plan, however, it was just a component of the game plan,” Winovich said. “I guess you give and receive and I knew I had to be more wonderful in some of my basics and missions and just fundamental things about football. It was a wonderful opportunity for me to publish some of that. So I’m glad we’ve been given the team’s victory and I can make a positive contribution. “
Winovich has been the Patriots’ most productive pass thrower so far this season. The Patriots began taking him out of the area at the start of the raids, when the offense throws the ball more frequently, starting in week 6 The Jets ran the ball only 18 times for 65 yards on Monday night and had more luck passing the ball.
