Now crack open a fresh one and enjoy some freaking sacks.And run stuffs!And some “I’m going to need you to get back over here ASAP please”!And Julian Edelman Jerseys 2019 , um, whatever this is?So far Wino’s played 66 snaps at edge defender, even though he ran some snaps during joint practices with Tennessee lined up over the center, and since all Pats fans know that sacks aren’t a great way to judge D-line production (although Chase does have 3 already, did we mention that?), here’s how PFF has him graded so far:92.2, which is currently good for best overall among all rookie edge defenders. Not a typo.Chase also scored a slightly higher grade than that in last week’s rumble in Music City, scoring a 93.6 overall and an edge defender spot on PFF’s highly coveted Preseason Team of the Week.The other edge player Winovich is manning the edge with in that roster? Denver’s Bradley Chubb, who you probably remember was the 5th overall pick in the 2018 draft and already hyped as a Pro Bowl player before he even got drafted. No pressure White Rob Gronkowski Jerseys , kid. You’re only playing with Von Miller on the other side.And even though we still don’t really know what the 2019 Pats defense is going to look like under new defensive coordinator....er, sorry, defensive play-caller Jerod Mayo, the Patriots have been on a serious dry spell when it comes to sacks for the last few seasons even though they’ve tried various ways of reloading on the D-line.Trigger warning (and with the shot/chaser that, you know, 2 of these seasons ended in Lombardi trophies):2018: 30 sacks (30th in the NFL)2017: 42 sacks (tied for 7th in the NFL. That’s more like it!)2016: 34 sacks (tied for 16th in the NFL)Yes, we’re deliberately excluding the 2015 season when New England was second in the entire league with 49 sacks behind only a Denver Broncos defense that’d, in hindsight, go down as one of the most not-to-be-messed-with in modern NFL history. Mostly because that Patriots front-seven was both completely different from this one in terms of the players Rob Gronkowski Jerseys 2019 , and also, that was a few defensive coordinators ago, so, yeah.Meanwhile, back to Wino: in addition to rushing the passer, which everyone knew he could do anyway, PFF also notes that he checks the very important Patriots box of Setting the Edge:Go on, you have my attention.Barely beating a blocker on 40% of his pass-rushing snaps. SMH.It’s ok to be a just a little excited. This is supposed to be fun, right? Patriots coach Bill Belichick didn’t rule out bringing back Brian Hoyer White Tom Brady Jerseys , but he’s going to have competition.According to Jim Ayello of the , the Colts brought Hoyer in for a visit last night.That would give the Colts an all-Patriots-discard depth chart at quarterback, as Jacoby Brissett is the only other passer on the active roster at the moment.Hoyer, 34, was deemed expendable in New England after a solid preseason by rookie Jarrett Stidham. The Colts clearly have a need, and not just because you need two on the roster.General Manager Chris Ballard pointed to the example of Nick Foles and the Eagles as all the evidence teams need to have a competent backup.“Nick Foles comes in and the [Eagles] win the Super Bowl,” Ballard said. “That can be the difference, when you have a good backup when your starter goes down, between you getting in the playoffs Tom Brady Jerseys 2019 , one, two, three, four wins that he might have to play and that could be the difference of 1.) You getting home field advantage or 2.) Just getting in the playoffs. So having a competent backup is critical, and that’s why Jacoby is where he’s at.”And he might have some company soon.
