It was decent under Zorn with Blache but not as good. But after that its been downhill. The offense has come together nicely so far too. Questions on Pritchard but he's got a great mentor in Johnson and then Kliff but more so Johnson, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinsinparadise Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 (edited) The Pats forum actually have a thread dedicated to bringing back Popovich Nov 21, 2023 He’s currently an ***istant OL coach with the Texans. He did wonders at Troy. And before that he was great here working in tandem with Bricillo now with the Raiders. (Popovich was clearly the better of the two.) No crying about recently retired GOAT Dante. Bring Popovich back to be the OL coach. Period. Enough with the putrid play by this group. Mystery illness guys Anderson and million dollar Klemm need to go. Never saw this **** before in the nfl. What’s changed? 15 hours ago, RWJ said: The offense has come together nicely so far too. Questions on Pritchard but he's got a great mentor in Johnson and then Kliff but more so Johnson, IMO. Pritchard was arguably the only one mentioned last summer by Keim among others as the up and comer on this staff. When the New England Patriots hit the fields for their first training camp practice on Wednesday, Cole Popovich will be nowhere to be found. The team’s co-offensive line coach last season, Popovich has left the club in a departure reportedly tied to the NFL’s guidelines about Coronavirus vaccination. With him gone, Carmen Bricillo will take over coaching the Patriots’ O-line this season. Bill Belichick confirmed the change during a media conference call on Tuesday, and in the process of doing so set the tone for his club’s public handling of the Popovich situation. It is what it is. “From a staff standpoint, Carm will be coaching the offensive line. These are all things that play off the protocols from the league and so forth, so I’m not going to get into that any further. It is what it is,” Belichick said. “From this point on, I’m focused on football and trying to get our team ready to go. Trying to get our staff ready to go, including myself. We all have a long, long way to go.” Popovich spent the last six seasons in New England. He worked as a coaching assistant early on and later served as assistant running backs coach under Ivan Fears. Last year, with long-time assistant coach Dante Scarnecchia announcing his retirement, Popovich and Bricillo took over coaching the offensive line. https://www.patspulpit.com/2021/7/28/22597491/patriots-cole-popovich-departure-covid-19-andrews-belichick-statements Edited February 9 by Skinsinparadise 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWJ Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Just now, ThatNFLChick said: Of all 3, I am thrilled with the hiring of Johnson. He's the backbone of this offense. Kilff is supposed to be analyzer/designer of brilliant O plays and that's cool and a QB developer. That is much needed but Johnson is the one who can call a great game and develop the QBs too. I hope that Kliff digest Johnson's mindset into this scheme and I hope Johnson hangs around for several years. t think he got the shaft, IMO and took the heat for Sirianni's quick fall in Philly.

And the year after that? We need to have patience. After 25 years of utter garbage suck. We are about to have a complete change. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Pureblood Popovich is FAR less likely to have such a debilitating ailment. Hint, hint. ***istant Billy Yates? Not very good, is he?

Thank you for the information on Pritchard and looks like Quinn struck gold again with the hopeful Popovich hire as OL coach. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OL was middle of the pack this year in all metrics. It wasnt good. But it wasnt bottom of the basement horrid either. They allowed 2 sacks the last 4 games of the season. And Sam still threw bad balls. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illone Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Anyone heard anything about Randy Jordan, the RB coach? Good news that Pritch will remain, that signals they are playing it straight with the holdovers. I assume Jordan will be given the same opportunity to interview, but I havent heard squat about his potential return... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OL has its issue no doubt but Howell went into the Ramsey Syndrome. Most fans know what I mean. Again, I hope between Kliff, Johnson and Pritchard they can help him regain his form and confidence. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HigSkin Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Good listen if you get a chance. One big take-away, Quinn said guys are calling wanting to come here. Fans would be proud to know what was going on behind closed doors. It was in relation to a question asked by Russell about filling out the coach staff. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voice_of_Reason Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 1 minute ago, ThatNFLChick said: I listen to Mark Bullock on the Galdi podcast. Interestingly, I often enjoy his analysis but question his conclusions. He’s not entirely wrong, the concern is more of the coaches all have to learn the offense before they can teach it to the players. But I think it’s going to be ok. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. But the one binding force of all of these coachies is Quinn. And they are lining up to be on his staff. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpacePenguin Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 It'd be pretty cool if they'd hired any coach that didn't come from ****in' Dallas. I don't give a **** about Ben Johnson or Steve Penis, but come on. Steal coaches from anyone outside of the division. I guess we'll see. I'm halfway disinterested outside of a rebrand, anyway. Red Stronk Independent Minority Lesbians has a nice ring to it. I'll take Kingsbury over Turner/Bienemyyyyi? but that's a low ****in' bar. All the fluff about Jimmy Peters or whoever is overblown, too. "He stares like he values other peoples' opinions and has a burning fire for success". Okay, ES.....he's a case of Coors Lite from Vinny/McGlowingshoe/Bruce Shinyteeth like all the others. This doesn't seem much different from the last 25 years to me, but whatever. I hate this franchise as much as I ever loved it. Cheers? :) 1 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
