You should go to talk to Adam.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Newton and the Patriots&#8217; relationship is a little like that girl you met where the first few weeks were great, but then you realize that you don\u2019t actually have anything in common. Both parties put in the effort, it\u2019s nobody&#8217;s fault that it didn\u2019t work, but you aren\u2019t compatible.<\/p>\n<p>In the first month or so, we were legitimately discussing the possibility of a contract extension for Newton. Then adversity hit, and the quarterback and scheme weren\u2019t a match due to stylistic differences.<\/p>\n<p>Now the best thing for both sides is to admit the relationship isn\u2019t working before they&#8217;re in too deep.<\/p>\n<p>With an eye towards 2021, here are ten things we learned as the Pats finish the season 7-9:<\/p>\n<h4><strong>1. Cam Newton Delivers Four TDs in Potential Swan Song<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The only way the 2020 season could end for the Patriots was with Cam Newton throwing a season-high three touchdown passes in one of his best passing performances of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Along with the three touchdown tosses and a touchdown catch, the former MVP also ran for 79 yards on 11 carries, including a 49-yard run, the longest by a quarterback in team history. Newton\u2019s 592 rushing yards this season are also a franchise record.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 100%; height: 0px; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.250%;\"><iframe style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/streamable.com\/e\/g721kh\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>On the 49-yarder, the Pats ran their power-read scheme where they used a pulling guard as a lead-blocker, and Newton reads the play-side edge defender. When the Jets\u2019 edge defenders stay outside, Newton takes it up the middle, where Jermaine Eluemunor and Devin Asiasi create a hole. Newton then gets some great blocks downfield from left guard Joe Thuney and wide receiver N\u2019Keal Harry and reaches a top speed of over 17 miles per hour.<\/p>\n<p>Cam added 0.26 expected points per drop-back as a passer and finished with a solid completion percentage over expected (-0.6). Whether it was more about the Jets defense or Newton, it was a solid outing for a quarterback that struggled mightily to throw the ball recently.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 100%; height: 0px; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.250%;\"><iframe style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/streamable.com\/e\/cbqkkv\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>On his best pass of the day, Newton converted a third-and-20 by hitting Jakobi Meyers on a deep dig route. The Pats QB nicely stepped up in the pocket to buy time, stayed balanced, and threw with a good base to complete a strike to Meyers that moved the chains.<\/p>\n<p>Although the season was disappointing, Newton finished what\u2019s likely his only season in New England on a high note.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>2. Patriots Edge Rusher Chase Winovich Delivers Two-Sack Performance<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>In recent weeks, I\u2019ve written about Winovich\u2019s murky fit as a three-down player in Bill Belichick\u2019s defense due to his struggles setting the edge in the running game.<\/p>\n<p>However, Winovich\u2019s skill as a pass rusher was on full display, and those are the flashes that make Wino\u2019s talents apparent and make you want the team to invest in his development.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 100%; height: 0px; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.250%;\"><iframe style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/streamable.com\/e\/v1vc1k\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Here, the Patriots line Winovich up over the right guard in a two-point stance. His explosiveness off the ball and flexibility to dip underneath Greg Van Roten is too much for the Jets\u2019 right guard, and Winovich sacks Darnold.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 100%; height: 0px; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.250%;\"><iframe style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/streamable.com\/e\/6i9oml\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>On Winovich\u2019s first sack, the Pats ran one of their vintage pass-rush schemes, a long stunt. A long stunt uses two interior penetrators to occupy three offensive linemen and then wraps the edge defender around to pressure the QB up the middle. Jets center Connor McGovern doesn\u2019t pass Byron Cowart to left guard Pat Elfelin, and Wino is unblocked to the quarterback.<\/p>\n<p>As the Patriots rebuild their front seven, finding an every-down role for one of their most talented defenders in Winovich is a must, even if that means moving him to inside linebacker at times.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>3. Patriots TE Devin Asiasi Makes First Splash of Rookie Season<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>New England\u2019s rookie tight ends are finally on the board as Devin Asiasi made his first career catch and later his first career touchdown reception in the win over the Jets.<\/p>\n<p>The Pats rookie finished the game with two catches for 39 yards and a touchdown, with quarterback Cam Newton saying that Asiasi flashes his talents every week in practice.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 100%; height: 0px; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.250%;\"><iframe style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/streamable.com\/e\/sapmu2\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>On his first career catch, New England ran one of its staples from the Gronk era: \u201cCharles Barkley.\u201d No, really, they call it Charles Barkley. Charles Barkley is a scheme where the backside guard (Thuney) pulls to simulate a power run. The pulling guard influences the linebackers to step into their run gaps, and the tight end then crosses behind them. The scheme works to give Asiasi an opportunity, and the rookie tight end goes down to make the catch.<\/p>\n<p>Following his first career catch, Asiasi caught a 26-yard touchdown pass from Newton.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 100%; height: 0px; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.250%;\"><iframe style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/streamable.com\/e\/8qjek3\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>This time, the Jets appear to bust the coverage on a man-blitz scheme. None of the Jets match Asiasi\u2019s vertical release, leaving the post-safety to defend a corner route from the tight end. Asiasi gains leverage on the deep safety and nicely tracks the ball in the air for six.<\/p>\n<p>Although it took longer than most hoped, it was good to see Asiasi, who has held up nicely as an in-line blocker down the stretch, to make some plays in the passing game.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>4. Pats CB JC Jackson\u2019s Up-and-Down CB1 Audition<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Patriots cornerback JC Jackson continued a string of uneven performances without Stephon Gilmore after allowing four catches for 62 yards into his coverage but added a second-half interception.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 100%; height: 0px; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.250%;\"><iframe style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/streamable.com\/e\/nb9dfo\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>The one big play Jackson allowed was a 53-yard reception by Jets wideout Breshad Perriman, who has Jackson\u2019s number this season. There were two possibilities on the coverage: 1. Jackson got beat 2. Jackson was expecting deep safety Myles Bryant to jump the crosser. We can only make an educated guess, but Jackson opening his gate towards the sideline suggests that he thought Perriman would run vertically upfield. Instead, Perriman cuts on the over route, and when Bryant stays over the top of the clear-out receiver, Perriman gets loose.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, Bills wideout Stefon Diggs beat Jackson on a similar crossing concept that is an excellent single-high beater, which the Pats play often.<\/p>\n<p>As he usually does, the Pats CB answered with his ninth interception of the season, and his 11 total takeaways in 2020 tied a franchise record. Still, there\u2019s room for improvement.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>5. Where Does Jakobi Meyers Fit on Pass-Catching Pecking Order?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Although Meyers didn\u2019t match his performance earlier this season against the Jets, where he had a career-high 169 receiving yards, he was once again a problem for New York\u2019s secondary.<\/p>\n<p>Meyers had a team-high 68 receiving yards on six catches with four first-down makers.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 100%; height: 0px; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.250%;\"><iframe style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/streamable.com\/e\/2o5byi\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>We already highlighted his downfield route-running on the third-and-20 earlier, so here\u2019s an example of his savviness in attacking short zones. The Pats clear out the underneath coverage with a vertical route by Asiasi, and Meyers finds the soft spot in the zone. Once he catches it, he immediately gets into YAC mode with a sweet spin move and picks up 13 yards.<\/p>\n<p>In his last 11 games, Meyers accumulated 722 receiving yards on 58 receptions, which is 1,050 yards if you take his per game average (65.6) and pace it out for a 16-game season.<\/p>\n<p>With the Pats feeding whoever is in the slot, it\u2019s not out of the question to think Meyers could go for over 1,000 yards in a season in this system.<\/p>\n<p>Whether or not he\u2019s a #1 or #2 is ultimately irrelevant; Meyers is a starting \u201cZ\u201d receiver in New England\u2019s scheme that will only benefit from an \u201cX\u201d receiver that can stretch the field.<\/p>\n<p>The Patriots need to find a top-dog or two in their offense, but Meyers can play second fiddle.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>6. Assessing James White\u2019s Future With the Patriots<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Nobody is questioning James White\u2019s place in Patriots history or his talents as a receiving back. It\u2019s also understandable that his play dipped a bit this season in a horrendous year for his family.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, we actually saw flashes of the old James White with four catches and a touchdown.<\/p>\n<p>Still, White is an unrestricted free agent this offseason and will turn 29 years old in less than a month. Without Brady feeding him on check-downs and third-down matchups, his production is down, and White is getting beat more often than usual in pass protection as well.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 100%; height: 0px; position: relative; padding-bottom: 53.602%;\"><iframe style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/streamable.com\/e\/no97q3\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>White has now allowed a quarterback pressure in each of the last four games, bringing his season total to a career-high 11, including a sack of Newton on Sunday where the Jets brought an overload blitz and the Pats running back along with the right side of the O-Line caved inward.<\/p>\n<p>The Patriots are a better team thanks to White the player and person, but you wonder what the future holds. White might be better off in a different situation at this stage of his career.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>7. Patriots Rookie Kyle Dugger is a Fun Watch In-Person (or on TV)<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>During the first quarter of today\u2019s game, my eyes were fixed on do-it-all rookie Kyle Dugger, who continues to make plays.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 100%; height: 0px; position: relative; padding-bottom: 54.123%;\"><iframe style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/streamable.com\/e\/yztx2s\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Dugger played several different roles, but he was deployed primarily in the box, where 53 of his 63 snaps were on Sunday, especially after the injury to Adrian Phillips. There\u2019s no doubt that he\u2019s a downhill enforcer against the run, has the range to play sideline-to-sideline, and is coming along as a coverage player.<\/p>\n<p>Dugger&#8217;s next step is improving his zone drops from the second level and his technique in man coverage. But the pieces are all there for him to blossom into a heck of a player.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>8. Patriots UDFA Myles Bryant, DB Joejuan Williams Get Extended Playing Time<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The Patriots let the kids play to a degree, with undrafted rookie Myles Bryant (44 snaps) and second-year defensive back Joejuan Williams (36) seeing time.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 100%; height: 0px; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.250%;\"><iframe style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/streamable.com\/e\/qib65w\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Bryant had several teaching moments and a flurry of mistakes on one drive. He missed a tackle in the flat, didn\u2019t attack an interception on a pass that was eventually caught by Jamison Crowder, and was late rotating over on Chris Herndon\u2019s touchdown, then drew a flag for a hit on a defenseless receiver (those penalties are bogus, by the way).<\/p>\n<p>New England tried Bryant out at free safety in Week 17, but I still think he\u2019s at his best when he can cover man-to-man either in the box or playing over the slot. His lack of length and range makes it difficult for him to play the deep-middle, so I don\u2019t think free safety is the spot for him.<\/p>\n<p>As for Williams, his effort to make an open-field tackle on Perriman\u2019s 53-yarder was questionable and makes you wonder if those kinds of effort plays show up at practice too.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 100%; height: 0px; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.250%;\"><iframe style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/streamable.com\/e\/6pv9yi\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Lacking in that department and overall focus on the task at hand might be why Williams can\u2019t crack the regular CB rotation. When he\u2019s out there, he mostly holds his own in coverage. Williams plays to his strengths by being physical at the line and using his length to disrupt at the catch point.<\/p>\n<p>There must be something going on behind the scenes that, along with McCourty\u2019s leadership and experience, has Belichick playing Jason McCourty over Williams at outside corner.<\/p>\n<p>On a positive note, I think there are roles for both Bryant and Williams on the 2021 roster.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>9. Pats\u2019 Gunner Olszewski is a Stud Punt Returner<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>After training camp, I thought Gunner might be a factor at wide receiver this season. He couldn\u2019t carve out a role on offense, but Olszewski is a dynamite punt returner. The second-year pro averaged 12 yards per punt return on Sunday with a 17-yard return, bringing his season average to an impressive 17.3. As Belichick described to the CBS broadcast team, Gunner is aggressive but not reckless.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 100%; height: 0px; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.250%;\"><iframe style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/streamable.com\/e\/byv5e8\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>As he showed on his 17-yard return, he knows how to make the first tackler miss and then immediately gets north-south to accelerate upfield. Olszewski\u2019s return style takes the same shape as coach Troy Brown\u2019s and mentor Julian Edelman; make a move, get vertical, and run downhill.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>10. Play of the Game: Jakobi Meyers\u2019s 19-Yard Touchdown Pass to Cam Newton<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>If the Cam Newton era is truly over, it didn\u2019t end without a little fun. The Patriots dialed up another double-pass with converted college and high school quarterback Jakobi Meyers.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 100%; height: 0px; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.250%;\"><iframe style=\"width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/streamable.com\/e\/8icb8s\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>This time, Newton handed the ball off to Sony Michel, who flipped it to Meyers, and then Cam released upfield on a wheel route. The Jets defense didn\u2019t cover the quarterback, and Meyers made a much easier throw than his first touchdown pass of the season. Who doesn\u2019t like a little trickery in a meaningless Week 17 game?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FOXBORO &#8212; in what could be Cam Newton\u2019s final game as the Patriots\u2019 starting quarterback, New England beat the New York Jets 28-14 at Gillette Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
