Facts....No Fiction

[BigKen]

Here's a couple of stunning facts...........................

JAMES WHITE

If James White is involed in 13 or more running and/or targets during any game in 2018.........ready for this?
The New England Patriots are 9-0.

If James White is involved in 12 or less running and/or targets during any game in 2018.........ready for this?
The New England Patriots are 0-5

Against the Jaguars White carried or was targeted 12 times. Against Detroit and Tenessee 10 times and against Pittsburgh and Miami 11 times.

This pretty much says that defenses have a difficult time reading what James White is going to do and like Sunday, he gets wide open and Brady tried to force the ball to Edelman who was covered by 5 defenders in the end zone.

Here's a pretty nasty fact........

Julian Edelman was suspended for the first 4 games of 2018.

Julian Edelman has played in 10 games in 2018.

Julian Edelman is second in the NFL for dropped passes in 2018.

All of the games that White had 12 or less carries and they lost were on the road. So, did they lose because White had 12 or less carries, because they were on the road, or did White have 12 or less carries because they were on the road? Or none of the above? Or all of the above?

Hard to imagine Edelman getting back to where he was based on this years performance. Can't blame Brady either. A lot of the drops were right in his hands. Maybe Edelman is thinking about the hit he's going to take rather than focusing on the catch?

Sub-par year for Edelman. Can't miss 1st 4 games and play with the same "right to the edge" style.
He can snap out of this at any time - or be 1 step behind the guys that have played all year.

I like the idea of getting more plays to Dorsett - 10 games ago. We are committed it seems, to what we have.

Can't dispute facts and I agree it seems TB12 is forcing a lot of balls this year and I don't get it. White has great hands, runs well after the catch as noted Jules has not been all that and a nag of chips nor has Gronk. Josh needs to figure this into his game plan.

But I betcha TB12 tell Josh those are stupid stats I'll go where I am comfortable going with the ball.

Who the hell is "MyGasIsFarFrom Ideal"? I hate seeing things like this. The article makes a couple of very valid points. Why doesn't the author step up and own it?
