Belichick Breakdown: Top Plays from Week 6
Can never get enough BB breaking down the film with Zo!
Brandon LaFell, Bryan Stork return to practice, Shaq Mason, Jabaal Sheard among four absentees
Wednesdays are always when we find out who really got hurt last weekend and there was both good news and bad news today. The good – LaFell and Stork are back, and Slater was there too. The bad – Sheard, Cannon and Mason are MIA of significant starters. Sheard and Cannon are rumored to be minor but who knows if that will keep them out this week. Mason’s a surprise but it’s the time of year where it could be just the flu.
Cannon is important but I think the key guy this week is Hightower, who practiced all last week but still didn’t play. The Pats defense is just so much better with him in there, especially against the run. Freeny and Mayo just don’t have the juice to make an impact in that area right now, and Collins can’t do everything by himself. I think what we saw last week is why Hightower and Collins are so complimentary to each other.
He makes it tough. His instincts are incredible out there. He’s one of those guys that sees everything on the field. He sees the formations and routes and splits. Anything pre-snap that can help him get an idea of whether the ball coming his way or if it’s going the other way or if it’s a run or pass or deep throw or short throw. He’s a very dependable, consistent player. He’s been an incredible playmaker since he’s been in the league. He covers the top guys every week so I got a first-hand look at that last year every day in practice. It was great to have him a part [of team] here but he moved on so now he’s our competition again.
Just one last time before we totally turn the page to the Jets. Yikes.
