Michael Lombardi joined us on Mad Radio to discuss the Patriots, Deshaun Watson, the Khalil Mack trade, and more.  Sean Pendergast and I discussed the final episode of Hard Knocks: Cleveland Browns. 1:50  Attacking the middle of the field with Gronk is key to the Patriots offense. 3:00  Patriots don’t talk about attacking coverages, “They’re talking about attacking the adjustments in the coverage” 3:40  On Belichick. “His whole emphasis in the first quarter is to figure out what the game plan actually is and make the adjustments” 4:40 Challenge for Pats is do they play their front 7 that has trouble with horizontal speed.   5:30 Patriots team speed on defense is not as fast as it needs to be.  “When your mike linebacker is slow, your defense is slow” 7:00 On the Khalil Mack trade, Michael points out that the Patriots traded away Chandler Jones for a 2nd round pick.  He’s gone on to get 28 sacks for the Cardinals. 8:00 The system is built to avoid holdouts 12:00 Eagles converted 3rd and long at an extremely high rate last year. Can they sustain that this year? 12:30 Michael thinks the Texans were better coordinated under Romeo Crennel, doesn’t think the Titans are that talented football team 15:30 I weigh in on Steelers players openly criticizing Leveon Bell’s holdout 18:25 Hard Knocks Cleveland with Sean Pendergast 23:00 We wonder why Hue Jackson would tell somebody to just “keep doing what you’re doing” as they’re getting cut by the Browns!
