The Patriots travel to their house of horrors this week. Miami has been like that house where Michael Myers is hiding and the moron kids in those silly films can\u2019t seem to find their way out.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Patriots are all-time 17-43 in Miami, and there is no sugarcoating it. Like games in Denver, the Patriots have traditionally saved their worst football in these places \u2026they have sucked there, plain and simple.<\/p>\n<p>It is time for a change. Earlier this week on our podcast, despite Miami playing like a trainwreck in Indy, I couldn\u2019t get past all those years of misery and picked the Dolphins to circle the wagons before going backing to sucking again.So, before today\u2019s game, I\u2019ll drink the Vrabel Kool Aid this week, I really want to believe that Vrabel and company are going to turn this crate around. So, go down south this week, put Harold Landry in a Freddy Krueger mask\u00a0 and kick the Dolphins ass, and we\u2019re going to start the hype train.\u00a0<b>New England 24-20<\/b>\u2026there.<\/p>\n<p>It has been a bad week, health wise, which is also a bad time for my PTS to raise its ugly head. Oh well, TFB for me and for the many that overpopulate my texts and DMs who unleashed their normal spate of BS that I have always tried to let\u00a0 roll off my back. This week, you may have gotten a GFY reply \u2026or three.\u00a0 Sorry to say, there won\u2019t be any apologies forthcoming. Enough of that\u2026 Let\u2019s talk about some football.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Quick Hitters For the Patriots and NFL News:<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><b>Tom Brady:\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0Colin Cowherd podcast\u00a0this week with Brady was football gold. Not Patriots Gold, but football gold. Brady broke down what a QB has to learn to be successful in the NFL, and physical talent, as he pointed out, is just one part of it.<\/p>\n<p>Brady talked at length about how QBs aren\u2019t getting the education of how to learn the position of QB from a mental perspective. He talked about how in 2001, after the death of Patriots\u2019 QB coach Dick Rehbein in training camp, how Bill Belichick would give the QBs folders from a defensive perspective on how to attack certain areas of an opponent, and which ones not to try.<\/p>\n<p>Its insight mere mortals don\u2019t get to see often at all. And it was some awesome stuff to listen to.<\/p>\n<p>Kurt Warner chimed in on how rare that is; \u201cAll I\u2019ll say is this is incredible &amp; maybe part of why he became the GOAT (I\u2019m sure he would have been great without also)!! I never got any of this stuff in all my years playing\u2026 never had a defensive coach sit down with me on coverages, never talked to a personnel guy about tendencies, had a number of OCs\/QB coaches that had never played position to know the nuances of it, etc\u2026 there is no doubt in my mind this approach is uncommon, but teams should consider how valuable it could be for their QBs!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Uncommon? That was Bill Belichick. Oh I forgot, the great unwashed in the arena, scream that it was all Tom.<\/p>\n<p><b>Zak Kuhr:\u00a0<\/b>With Defensive Coordinator Terrell Williams having to step away from football for health related issues again, Kuhr, the Inside Linebackers Coach, will call the plays in Miami.<\/p>\n<p>During Williams\u2019 absence this spring and early summer, Kuhr coached as the de facto DC and will step into those shoes again.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cZak Kuhr will call the game defensively and I\u2019ll help him like I always do,\u201d Vrabel said. \u201cBut I\u2019m excited for that. I think we\u2019ve been prepared all week for that\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Vrabel added that he \u201cexpects to have an update on Williams next week,\u201d after which time the team will \u201cgo from there\u201d regarding the duties moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, speaking to the media, Kuhr said, Kuhr told reporters on Thursday. \u201cVrabes does a good job hiring good people. What I love about him as a head coach and even as a person is, really his mindset is everyday, \u2018How can I help? How can I make somebody better? How can I help you this situation?\u2019 It\u2019s all about working together and helping whoever needs help and reaching a common goal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Christian Gonzalez:\u00a0<\/b>The Patriots\u2019 star cornerback is scratched again this week as he has yet to practice since late July after injuring his hamstring in practice.<\/p>\n<p>It now appears that Gonzalez\u2019s injury was much more serious than previously reported or he has re-injured it during the rehab. This is a troubling development.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ja\u2019Lynn Polk:<\/strong>\u00a0The Patriots have traded the wide receiver, currently on injured reserve along with a seventh round draft pick to the New Orleans Saints for a 6th-round draft pick. Less than a year and a half removed from arriving with great hope to a franchise starved for talented wide receivers, Polk will now be added to the list of WRs who failed in New England.<\/p>\n<p>Polk had off-season shoulder surgery, was eventually cleared and re-injured the shoulder in the first preseason game against the Washington Commanders. Polk was the 37th pick in last year\u2019s draft and never had the impact hoped for with his draft position and the fact that he was highly touted during the draft lead up. He caught 12 passes for 87 yards and two TDs in his short Patriots career.\u00a0 Perhaps a change of scenery among a team decimated by injuries at WR will jump start his career.<\/p>\n<p><b>Deatrich Wise:\u00a0<\/b>So sorry to see Wise get hurt in Green Bay and being lost for the season. Wise tried to block an extra point and had players roll up on his leg. Wise spent eight years with Patriots, signing with the Commanders this spring.<\/p>\n<p><b>Patriots No Huddle Podcast:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Derek, Mike, and I discussed the Week 1 loss against the Raiders, and in our next podcast, made our picks for the Miami game. We also picked the results of the Thursday night game and other games this week. You can find our podcasts on\u00a0YouTube,\u00a0Apple,\u00a0or\u00a0Spotify.\u00a0Please take a look and leave us a review.<\/p>\n<p><b>Russ Francis\/Chuck Fairbanks:<\/b>\u00a0The former Patriot tight end and head coach should be in the Patriots team Hall of Fame, and the fact that Francis isn\u2019t is an absolute travesty. Francis and the Raiders\u2019 Dave Casper changed how teams used the tight end position.<\/p>\n<p>This will be displayed in our Sunday posts until it happens. Casper is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Francis\u2019 numbers stand up well against Casper\u2019s, yet he isn\u2019t even in the team\u2019s HOF.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Players and Matchups To Watch:<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>The Patriots are looking to shake off a Week 1 loss to Las Vegas and get off the schneid against the Dolphins. Miami also lost in Week 1, an embarrassing 33-8 thumping by the Colts.<\/p>\n<p>Miami has won four straight against New England, the last time they won five in a row against the Patriots, you\u2019d have to go back to the end of the Pete Carroll and beginning of the Bill Belichick eras (1999-2001).<\/p>\n<p>Here (from a Patriots perspective) are five players to watch.<\/p>\n<p><b>TreVeyon Henderson\u00a0 \u2014\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>The Patriots\u2019 running game was abandoned in the second half last week, and one way to control the tempo and beat the heat and humidity today is to run the football.<\/p>\n<p>Rhamondre Stevenson wasn\u2019t effective last week, so Josh McDaniels could opt to get the faster rookie Henderson more involved earlier. Miami was gashed on the ground last week in Indy, allowing play-action passes, where Daniel Jones picked them apart. Henderson, in the passing game, can be a weapon.<\/p>\n<p>I would use some pre-snap motion (which Miami has killed the Patriots with) and use Henderson and Gibson more in the first half, saving Stevenson as the closer.<\/p>\n<p><b>Harold Landry \u2014\u00a0<\/b>One way the Colts held the Dolphins\u2019 offense in check last week was to take away QB Tua Tagovailoa\u2019s first read, something that made the Dolphins\u2019 offense go when it was working.<\/p>\n<p>If Tua is forced to go through his progressions, the Dolphins offense isn\u2019t nearly as good and can be disrupted. Landry was brought in to do the disrupting and had a stellar debut with 2.5 sacks against the Raiders.<\/p>\n<p>Both starters on the right side (blind side for Tua) are out this week. Landry will be called on to take advantage of that. He has had good success (albeit in limited games) against Miami, with five sacks and eight QB hits in three games<\/p>\n<p><b>Stefon Diggs \u2014\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>Lost in the mix of an overall very uneven game for the Patriots\u2019 offense was the game of Diggs, his first game action in nearly a year since tearing his ACL last October.<\/p>\n<p>Diggs had six catches for 57 yards and is getting on the same page with QB Drake Maye, as their chemistry will only continue to grow as they work together in game action. Diggs, historically, has given the Dolphins a hard time, averaging about six catches for 80 yards with seven touchdowns in nine games.<\/p>\n<p>Diggs may see a lot of former Patriots\u2019 cornerback Jack Jones or Rasul Douglas in this one. With the Patriots trying to find some success against Miami in the air today, Diggs could be a factor as he rounds back into form.<\/p>\n<p><b>Milton Williams \u2014\u00a0<\/b>Slowing down the run against Miami amid all the motion is a big key for the Patriots\u2019 defense, and the best way to do so is to get penetration upfront. Williams had a good game for the Patriots last week in his debut.<\/p>\n<p>Facing a backup guard this week, they\u2019ll need a big game out of Williams to stop the run and disrupt the quick passing of Tua with those first-read throws that attack the middle of the field.<\/p>\n<p>The Patriots blitzed on 43.5 percent of Geno Smith\u2019s throws last week. This week, with the aforementioned absences on the right side of Miami\u2019s OL, the Patriots may be able to get home more with a four-man rush and drop more into coverage. This will be a big game for Williams, as he can be a big factor for the Patriots to break their O-fer against Tua.<\/p>\n<p><b>Drake Maye \u2014\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>Maye had an uneven game against Las Vegas in Week 1, despite throwing for 287 yards. Maye only faced Miami once last season, a 34-15 blowout loss in Miami. He completed 22-37 passes for 222 yards with one TD and one INT in that game, where he was sacked four times.<\/p>\n<p>Maye is still learning Josh McDaniels\u2019 offense, but he has to be more consistent moving forward. He missed too many open receivers last week, and after watching Daniel Jones light up Miami\u2019s secondary (the Colts scored on every possession), it would be nice to see Maye do the same thing.<\/p>\n<p>Coincidentally, in that game last year, Patriot tight ends Hunter Henry and Austin Hooper combined for nine catches for 103 yards, including a 38-yard touchdown to Hooper. It will be interesting to see if Maye can continue his chemistry with Kayshon Boutte again this week.<\/p>\n<h3><b>NFL Week 2 Predictions:<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Week 2 picks usher in a change (mentioned above), I said on Thursday\u2019s podcast that I was taking Miami over the Patriots in Miami. Okay, I\u2019ll drink the Kool-Aid, which I\u2019ll probably regret. But let\u2019s go\u2026<\/p>\n<p><b>Thursday Night Football:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Green Bay over Washington \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<b>1-0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Sunday Day Games:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Dallas over NY Giants<\/p>\n<p>Cincinnati over Jacksonville<\/p>\n<p>Detroit over Chicago<br \/>\nNew England over Miami *** Change from Thurs podcast***<\/p>\n<p>LA Rams over Tennessee<\/p>\n<p>San Francisco over New Orleans<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_6_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-6 adthrive-ad-cls\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,41406769\/AdThrive_Content_6\/5cc05c684b6de3074c788513_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Buffalo over NY Jets<\/p>\n<p>Pittsburgh over Seattle<\/p>\n<p>Baltimore over Cleveland<\/p>\n<p>Denver over Indianapolis<\/p>\n<p>Arizona over Carolina<\/p>\n<p>Philadelphia over Kansas City<\/p>\n<p><b>Sunday Night Football:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Minnesota over Atlanta<\/p>\n<p><b>Monday Night Football:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Tampa Bay over Houston<br \/>\nLA Chargers over Las Vegas<\/p>\n<p><b>Last Week \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 11\u20146<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>2025 Season \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 11\u20146<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>2024 Season<\/b>\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<b>204\u201468\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>2023 Season\u00a0 \u00a0 178\u201494\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>2022 Season: \u00a0 178\u201492\u20142<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>2021 Season: \u00a0 183\u201488\u20141<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>2020 Season: \u00a0 169\u201486\u20141\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>2019 Season: \u00a0 162\u201493\u20141<\/b><\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cYeah, I mean, I think to have a successful offensive play, it takes really everybody. It takes the play caller, right? Getting the play in efficiently, it takes us being able to identify the players that we need to block, the ones that we\u2019re not going to be able to block, and the ones that when we block them and we\u2019re in combination, that we have to move them, and then the backs have to have to run where they\u2019re not.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cAnd we say that. So again, it\u2019s not just the players that we have that we\u2019re handing the ball to, it\u2019s everybody. Again, we have a lot of confidence in the running backs, but also, we have to be able to have a great execution in any scheme, whether that\u2019s a zone scheme a gap scheme.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cSo again, the bottom line is we have to run the ball better and we have to run it more efficiently because then I think that all opens up some more of the stuff that we\u2019re doing, can do and want to be able to do so that it\u2019s not just a drop-back passing game\u2026<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>\u201d Yeah, it just wasn\u2019t one of our better days. Again, we just have to take advantage of the plays that we do call and hit it when we have guys open, and just being able to start the second half, being able to go down there and continue that drive, unfortunately, not turn it over and be able to create some momentum in that situation.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Mike\u00a0Vrabel answered a question about the lack of a running game in Week 1, where the team just abandoned it.<\/p>\n<p>_______________<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<i>Somebody asked me what success looks like, and I said, \u2018Yeah, you can judge it by wins and losses during the season, but success for me in the offseason is going to be that the players believe in what we\u2019re doing, and they believe in the message, they believe in the teaching, and they believe in the connections that we\u2019re making<\/i>.\u2019\u201d \u2014 Mike Vrabel<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good morning.
