Patriots vs. Jaguars: Hoyer Leads Patriots to 19-9 Halftime Lead

Note: This is your Pats Pulpit official game thread!  Each quarter, we will post a new thread with instant analysis and recap of what's happened.

Y71myf8mlwlk8lbgagh3fd5e0_medium vs.  Eakbhfhxnv31fffgnct3ltlrd_medium

19                                   9

Here are some Patriots notes from the first half at Gillette Stadium:

  • The Patriots opened up the second quarter by capitalizing on excellent field position.  On the third play of the quarter, Brian Hoyer side-stepped the pass rush and delivered a pass in the back of the end zone to Taylor Price.  Price twisted his body the opposite way and made an amazing catch, getting two feet down and securing the ball in the process.  The extra point attempt was botched, with Matt Katula making a bad snap.
  • Deji Kareem had an 84 yard return (td saving touchdown by Tracy White) following the Patriots touchdown.  Dane Fletcher shut down the drive with a great run stuff for a loss, blowing up a blocker and taking down Montell Owens.  The Jaguars, starting in the red zone, had to settle for a field goal.
  • On the Patriots next drive, Brian Hoyer threw a long ball down the right sideline to Matt Slater, who went up back shoulder, and came down with a 42 yard gain.  However, the drive stalled and the Patriots settled with for a 46 yard field goal, which Stephen Gostkowski nailed straight down the pipe.
  • Darryl Richard had a nice sack and run stop on the Jaguars next drive.  The sack can be credited, in part, to excellent coverage (Chung and Arrington).  The drive would have been a three and out, but Richard Medlin had a neutral zone infraction on the punt, which allowed the Jaguars to continue the drive.  At the start of the new series, Dane Fletcher stuffed another run in the backfield.  The Patriots ended up stopping the Jaguars drive, with Patrick Chung dropping a "gimme" interception.
  • On the Patriots final drive of the first half, Stevan Ridley touched the ball three out of four plays to begin the drive.  One play, he had a nice catch and run, showing some shiftiness, making a couple of defenders miss and picking up a first down.  After the two minute warning, Hoyer found Taylor Price on a slant for a big gain.  Hoyer did a nice drive leading the team down the field, with the team settling for another Gostkowski field goal just before half time.
  • Top Halftime Performers: Mark Anderson (5 QB pressures), Dane Fletcher (5 tackles), Bryan Hoyer (15/21, 171 yards)

And with the talent that Mallet has, learning under brady for that long would set up a great QB for us for the future. :)

So Taylor Price and Dane Fletcher look explosive

Jermaine Cunningham has a sack.

Rob Gronkowski looks like a force at TE, Hernandez is much of the same.

McCourty will be following up on a 7 INT rookie year, and Spikes should be entering his second as a starter.

Sergio Brown has worked his way into the 4-man safety rotation. Zoltan Mesko has met high expectations.

Ted Larsen is the starting center now for the bucs, because we unfortunately released him.

And then Deaderick, Love, and Weston are all still fighting for spots along our d-line.

Seriously, most ridiculous draft class ever.

It's great that BJGE doesn't fumble...

However he isn’t spectacular. I like him, he’s solid and a good running back. However he isn’t someone defenses need to gameplan for. So far, it looks like Ridley might need to be gameplanned for. I’m probably looking too much into the first preseason game, but I don’t remember BJGE doing this last year in preseason.

by PieEyedPiper on Aug 11, 2011 9:38 PM EDT reply actions  

he is a very dependable back.

He HARDLY gets loss of yardage and he most likely gets about 4 yards a carry. he isnt chris johnson, but he is a dependable back.

Mallett just needs to learn how to control and hone his deep ball

That’s what would make him a special talent.

He’s looked good on the short passes though tonight.

I’ll take 11 players with heart on the field over 11 guys with just talent. Talent is fleeting, it goes away over time. Heart is what drives you to be better. To push yourself beyond what you think your capabilities are. To show us that when you strive, all things are possible.- SMP

historically the short ball has been mallet’s problem much more than long ball

his long balls have been historically impressive

Anderson is in on every play.

Not sure if he’s gonna have trouble with the run, because he’s been quick to pick it up, and just an inch from stopping a couple of big ones before they stop.

Don’t forget Vereen. I honestly think Morris stays during the preseason to help the guys learn and then gets cut so that Vereen can stay.

BJGE had 1000 yrds and 13 tds last season.

no one is suggesting Ridley gets the nod yet.

230 carries and 0 fumbles. He hasn’t fumbled since high school.
