Jeff Howe: Verified Patriots Twitter Accounts

Jeff Howe: Verified Patriots Twitter Accounts

Good to know if you’re on twitter or are thinking about succumbing to it’s power. Always funny when a fake accounts pop up. Today someone posing as @JulianEdelman11 started tweeting at the realPatriots and members of the team as if it really was JuJu. This account was debunked after Darius Butler told “Julian” to text him. “Julian” replied that he sent it to the “954” number. I guess Butler never got the text because minutes later he said he talked to the real Julian and he nixed the account as a fake. 

This still wasn’t even close to the greatest moment in twitter identity fraud. The all time title still belongs to when whoever it was posing as Rodney Harrison and totally laying the smack down on the real Kerry Rhodes. Rhodes apologized to him. A few days later the account was debunked. Good stuff, especially because it was when Rhodes was still a Jet. Sigh.

Anyway, just passing time as I countdown til next fucking season. First weekend sans Pats. The first of many. Ugh. I hate you Jets.

King said in the days before the Jets knocked off the Patriots, Rex Ryan went to his staff and defensive team leaders and asked them for suggestions on how to stop the Patriots offense. Explained King: “He said, ‘Listen, if you’ve got some ideas, give them to us. We’re looking to do new things to try to confuse the Patriots.’ And I think what they ended up doing was basically fairly consistently putting [Antonio] Cromartie and [Darrelle] Revis alone with whoever the Patriots put outside. It wouldn’t have mattered whether it was [Wes] Welker, it wouldn’t have mattered whether it was Deion Branch — I guess most often it was probably Deion Branch and [Brandon] Tate.

“And they said we’re not going to concentrate — I’m not saying we never will — but we’re not going to concentrate on giving them any safety help. They’ll just handle those guys, and then we’re going to cloud the middle of the field, and we’re going to make Tom Brady, when he looks over the field, we’re going to make him look at traffic everywhere he looks. I think that’s, in essence, a lot of what happened in this game.”

As for why the Patriots were not able to successfully combat the Jets’ strategy, King said: ”I’m not really sure what you can do without either sort of the blazing speed or the big, type Calvin Johnson or Randy Moss in his prime on the outside to really affect the game.

ESPN: What’s gone wrong for playoff Patriots?

ESPN: What’s gone wrong for playoff Patriots?

Great insightful read here about the last three Pats playoff games and what the problems have been. If I had made a checklist of what needed to happen for the Jets to win last weekend every single box would’ve had a big fat check in it, sometimes more than once. The Jets in a 10-0 hole would’ve been totally out of their comfort zone. Too bad, opportunity missed.
