Mac Jones was a fantastic draft pick by the Patriots and an even better move was for the Patriots to dump Cam Newton! Jones was a great college QB at Alabama were he played lights out in 2020 setting several records! At least Jones is literate and can read and execute the offensive plays of the Belichick playbook!..and i like MAC JONES. ..in many ways---look and style---reminds me of TOM ..loll....BUT lon long way to go kid...

Without a pass rush against most of the quarterbacks in the NFL you are in VERY big trouble. The only way to slow down a QB like Brady (or Allen) is with up the middle pressure from the DL. Gimmicky DB blitzes will not work, it's got to be pure line pressure. This was exactly the reason why the NY Giants beat the Patriots in 2 Super Bowls. Otherwise Brady would now have 9 Super Bowl rings. He does not have 9 rings, only 7, because the Giants in those Super Bowl wins used GROWN MAN DL pressure , up the middle, from the likes of Michael Strahan, Justin Tuck and Osi Umenyiora, if you can remember those guys from the famous NASCAR defense. It was none other than Spags, now Kansas City Chiefs Defensive Coordinator, who came up with the idea of putting 3 or even 4 Defensive Ends on the line at one time:
All signs are that the NFL offices, not the WFT, leaked the emails to the Wall Street Journal and The NY Times, although it's true the NFL collected the emails as part of the WFT investigation. The NFL did so with calculated intent to get Gruden fired. They likely knew that the content of these emails made a leak of them to the WSJ and NYT unsurvivable.
I don't doubt any of this. My point is no one would have to look at these emails in the first place if the WFT was a well-oiled machine that didn't have to be investigated. It's the franchise's mishaps over the last few years that opened the door to this nonsense. I don't personally identify with any of Gruden's sentiments. But his personal (odious) feelings didn't seem to affect how he did his job. He should have been heavily fined and done the perfunctory sensitivity training. If Gruden got ahead of all this after the lips comment came out, was that route still possible? I don't know.
We are going to find out if that is the case. Some people could smell the selective releasing/leaking of the Gruden emails, and they detected the odor of rat:

I should be clear that inasmuch as Gruden should bear responsibility for what he wrote, I'm still at unease about what has transpired. But with that said, I don't think Gruden was the target; more like collateral damage. But you can't "unknow" the things he wrote. That's why it's all relevant. For example, until yesterday Carl Nassib didn't know his coach didn't like the fact that the NFL drafted a gay person or routinely used gay slurs in his private correspondences.
