Week 2 Patriots vs Jaguars: The New England Patriots will face one of the best defenses in the NFL tomorrow. However http://www.patriotsauthorizedshop.com/authentic-joe-thuney-jersey , the team’s offense enters its game against the Jacksonville Jaguars with some personnel questions: running backs Rex Burkhead (concussion) and Sony Michel (knee) were both limited all week in practice and appear to be game-time decisions heading into the rematch of last year’s AFC Championship Game.Furthermore, there is a realistic chance that starting right tackle Marcus Cannon misses the contest (via The Atheltic’s Jeff Howe):Cannon did not play when the Patriots met the Jaguars in January due to a season-ending ankle issue, and it looks as if his latest ailment – a calf injury – could keep him out of Sunday’s game as well. Without their the 30-year old, New England would turn to primary backup LaAdrian Waddle to go against Jacksonville’s talented defensive linemen like Dante Fowler Jr. and Yannick Ngakoue.Waddle brings plenty of experience to the table but is a downgrade from the starter he could replace tomorrow: last week against the Houston Texans and All-Pro defender J.J. Watt, Cannon held his ground while playing 61% of offensive snaps. Waddle, meanwhile, was more inconsistent during the 39% of snaps he was on the field for. It would therefore not be a surprise to see the Patriots try to help Waddle with an additional blocker – think tight end Dwayne Allen – at times tomorrow.Week 4 Patriots vs Dolphins: Who gets the game ball for New England’s 38-7 win? After two straight losses to fall to 1-2 James White Jersey , the New England Patriots appear to be back on track thanks to a dominant win over the visiting Miami Dolphins. The 38-7 victory saw some big performances in all three phases, but the players that stood out the most are up for this week’s game ball vote.RB Sony MichelAfter two up-and-down performances to start his NFL career, Sony Michel was dominant as a runner today – thanks in part to some outstanding run blocking, but also due to his vision and patience coming out of the backfield. Overall, the first-round rookie finished the day with 25 carries for 112 yards and a touchdown. Michel played a key role in the Patriots establishing an early rhythm and controlling the tempo of the game all day long.LB Kyle Van NoyHe likely will not win the vote, but Kyle Van Noy is still on this ballot to represent a Patriots defense that has looked much improved against an explosive Miami squad. The veteran also made one of the game’s biggest plays in the second quarter: Van Noy, who had three tackles and a quarterback hit on the day Authentic Stephen Gostkowski Jersey , reacted quickly to a bad Dolphins snap and was able to jump on the football for a recovery. Only one play later, the Patriots were in the end zone and up 17-0.RB James WhiteMake no mistake about it: James White is one of the most important players on the Patriots roster, and against Miami he once again proved why. Not only did the 26-year old lead the team with eight receptions for 68 yards, he also had eight carries for 44 yards – and he scored two touchdowns, one on the ground and one through the air. In short: it was a vintage performance by the former fourth-round draft pick.With all that in mind, who is your choice for this week’s game ball? « Milwaukee’s Christian Yelich for the NL leadKramer just wanted to be quick to the ball » Weitere Artikel der Kategorie Allgemein |
