The New England Patriots are gradually revealing new wrinkles in their offense each week, and it may be time for them to take on another new identity in the fourth week in their most difficult game so far opposed to the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Patriots relied heavily on options races in Week 1 During Week 2, discovering their greatest fortune in the downward passes. They used more classic races to collect 250 yards on the court in Week 3, as opposed to the Las Vegas Raiders.
How about you give some advice adjusted to week 4?
Ryan Izzo ranks 62nd in PFF’s 83-yard closed wings consistent with the metric field with 3 receptions in 4 goals for 44 yards in 69 shots received. The third-round selection, Devin Asiasi, does not aim on 14 routes. round selection, has yet to make his NFL debut.
Asiasi and Keene went (unfairly) to 2010 draft classmates Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez after being decided in April. After the third week of the 2010 season, Gronkowski and Hernandez combined for 18 receptions in 21 goals for 269 yards with two touchdowns. and Keene have produced hen eggs everywhere.
And yes, this off-season it’s harder for novices to make an immediate contribution without spring education or preseason games and a truncated educational camp, but offensive lineman Michael Onwenu, security guard Kyle Dugger and offensive lineman JJ Taylor play vital roles. Asia if it has only been produced as an inconsistent blocker so far.
It’s also worth noting that tight end rookies in 2010 were betting on a much tougher quarterback than Tom Brady, who bullied Gronkowski to the limit when tight end was a rookie. Newton is much less difficult to play, but Asiasi hasn’t done it yet. He felt a ball thrown in his direction, and Keene couldn’t even get onto the field.
Izzo has been a forged blocker, but it’s not that the Patriots’ skill positions are so loaded that they can’t get their hands on the field in certain conditions either. And it’s time to see what Asiasi and Keene can bring as messengers.
It won’t be a bad week for that either. Houston Texans tight finale Jordan Akins hit two 39-yard passes with a Week 1 landing against KC. Los Angeles Chargers final, Hunter Henry, hit six passes for 83 yards against the Cheifs in Week 2. If the Baltimore Ravens’ tight finale, Mark Andrews, hadn’t had the fall on Monday, he would have recorded numbers greater than three receptions for 22 yards. at KC. Nick Boyle also entered the Ravens’ finish zone.
“Last week, Devin played a few more rehearsals,” Patriots closed-ended coach Nick Caley said Tuesday. “I think everyone’s getting better. This is actually the purpose of the season in general, but especially at the beginning of the season. It worked that way where he finished having more rehearsals. I think you can play at any time, when we communicate about complementary football, but at any time you can play complementary football within your own unit, get involved and locate tactics. help the whole unit by combining representatives and doing those things. It’s a smart thing.
“So we’re focusing on improving, let’s see what the roles are this week. It’s still early in the week. As we stick to the game plan process, we’ll find it. But I think having the two boys (Asiasi and Izzo) there and making them smart quality paintings was a smart thing to do.
The Patriots are in good shape at 2-1, and beat a raiders’ smart team in Week 3. But they can wear some other lenses Newton. Si Asiasi and Keene can emerge faster than later, it would help fill a void in the offensive.
