Greg Bedard 3 Up / 3 Down for Week 5

Greg Bedard of Boston Sports Journal joined Felger and Mazz on Tuesday. Bedard gave his 3 up and 3 down from the Patriots week 5 win over the Lions.

Transcript: 

Felger: Your number one star, Greg.

Greg Bedard: Matthew Judon, he was tremendous in this game. Two sacks, two hits, three hurries, nine plus plays, zero minus plays. He was awesome in this game.

Felger: Number two star.

Greg Bedard: Number two, Rhamondre Stevenson, seven broken tackles. I had him for four blitz pick ups. And not just your run of the mill blitz pick up. I mean, he did a solid job, tough match ups, really good stuff all around, a tremendous scheme.

Felger: Number three star.

Greg Bedard: Jakobi Meyers. He was tremendous. First, I think it was the first third down where he ran a little in and out great route had the guy spun around, gave Zappe some confidence he's the guy that everybody's counting on and it makes such a difference out there.

Felger: Three down. Get to the good stuff. Number one down.

Greg Bedard: Nelson Agholor, you know, he's just been brutal this year. I had him for two drops, one for an interception. He has two fumbles like, you know, what are we doing here? Like, how long is this going to go on?

Felger: Answer that question. Thornton's back, you tell me.

Greg Bedard: I think get as soon as Thornton's up to speed I think I think Agholor is watching from the seventh level.

Felger: What did you make of the beef on the sidelines between Bourne and Belichick? Have you seen that?

Greg Bedard: I saw it. I don't know how much to read. He didn't get benched after that. So that tells me it wasn't terrible. And, you know, I do think that was one of the plays where I thought that Zappe did not have things buttoned up in terms of the operation. There were a lot of things wrong with that play. And, you know, I'm sure Kendrick was saying, like, you know, I was where he told me to be, like, it's not my fault, that sort of thing.

Felger: To me, I just that's insight into why Bourne has been digging himself out of a hole, because he obviously talks back for sure. And I think we just saw a glimpse of it. Number two, dud.

Greg Bedard: Lil’Jordan Humphrey.

Mazz: You hate him.

Greg Bedard: I'm just going where the numbers indicate. He played 14 plays he gave up one and a half-stuffed runs and had a penalty in those 14 plays.

Mazz: So I've decided that a three down should now be two down because we have to reserve a spot every week for Isaiah Wynn.

Felger: Number three down.

Greg Bedard: Isaiah Wynn, he gave up two and a half pressures. He gave up two and a half run stops. He had a penalty. His first half was brutal. I'm surprised he wasn't benched in halftime. And by the way, I just want to make sure I note that this was Cole Strange's best game of the season so far. Didn't give up any pressures, even though that wasn't a huge thing in this game, considering they were they weren't having zombie sit back there or anything like that. But, you know, really, he did a nice job in the run game, his best overall game by far.
