Thank you!

Yes, but the DB also has to be a willing player in run support (AKA sometimes sacrificing yourself to blow up the OT), and not all are.

The #Patriots started their first 2 drives last night with the same concept: a crack toss left behind Will Campbell, which gained 7 and then 18 yards. Campbell celebrates a nasty finish here.

This is great teach tape for both. Wilson will start to feel when a DL is “dancing” for a E-T and back up when it happens. Campbell will recognize when the stunt happens he has to launch his DE laterally and stay on the same level as his G.

This is an area they'll need growth though, and it honestly comes with playing together. NE sliding the C, RG, and RT to the right meaning Wilson and Campbell have man protection. Communication and being on the same level is important so you don't get picked on stunts like this

He is the Patriots’ best kept secret, the man behind Mike Vrabel’s rebuild The Patriots employ the NFL’s best kept secret, a 35-year-old whiz plotting their path back to contention.

Drake Maye: Felt like a regular-season game tonight.

Efton Chism III TD on mesh rail. Nicely done.

#Patriots WRs on the field for the early 3rd quarter: Kyle Williams, Javon Baker and Efton Chism III.

Parker Romo hits a 57-yard FG. Long way to go, but he just might win the #Patriots kicker competition.

Yep. He's been outside and at nickel. Hawkins looking like 3rd safety for Week 1

Will Campbell trying to finish a pancake of a Commanders DB 12 yards downfield. The kid does not mess around.

#Patriots backup C Ben Brown has replaced Garrett Bradbury for the offense's second series.

#Patriots offense opens in 22 personnel:

TreVeyon Henderson, my goodness.

The Commanders win the toss, #Patriots will receive.

Noooo lol. I’d be shocked if he plays real CB snaps. Only 70 of the 2,243 snaps in his career have been there … might be out over the slot some, but he’s a safety

Gameday.

He is the most powerful person in the #Patriots organization under Mike Vrabel.

Sean McVay says he shaped how he sees the game.

At 23, he changed Ohio State-Michigan history forever.
