After Super Bowl LIII Joejuan Williams NFL Draft , Patriots safety Devin McCourty complimented backup quarterback Brian Hoyer for getting the defense ready for games through his work with the scout team offense and said Stephon Gilmore‘s crucial interception in the fourth quarter came on a play that the Patriots knew because Hoyer ran it in practice.Hoyer’s knowledge of the Rams offense went beyond work done in the days leading up to the Super Bowl. Hoyer played quarterback on Kyle Shanahan-led offenses in Cleveland and San Francisco, which he said gave him a lot of insight into Sean McVay’s offense with the Rams.McVay worked under Shanahan in Washington and Hoyer said he realized he knew the offense while watching Amazon’s series on the Rams as well as the episode of Peyton Manning’s ESPN series about Jared Goff.鈥淚 guess that鈥檚 the risk in putting yourself out there like that,鈥?Hoyer said to Albert Breer of SI.com.Hoyer’s knowledge meant he knew that the Rams “don鈥檛 have an answer for all-out pressure” and that’s what the Patriots dialed up on the play that ended with Gilmore picking off Goff. Those insights as well as ones gleaned by the defense on its own added up to a very well-prepared Patriots team.“Once we got into Atlanta Joejuan Williams Buffalo Bills Jersey , into the preparation, it was frustrating for me,鈥?Hoyer said. 鈥淭hey had everything covered. I was like Color Rush Joejuan Williams Jersey , 鈥楨ither these guys know what all our plays are, or they鈥檙e gonna ball out in the game.鈥?You could see it. They were playing so fast, they were so on top of it. And you get to the game Youth Joejuan Williams Jersey , and they go and have the best defensive performance I鈥檝e ever witnessed.”Hoyer only threw two passes for the Patriots in 2018, but it’s clear his value to the team was better measured in other ways. We’ve known since Saturday that wide receiver Antonio Brown would be joining the Patriots and the move is now official.The move was on the NFL’s transaction wire Monday and the Patriots sent out their own announcement of the deal as well. Brown signed a one-year deal worth up to $15 million with a $9 million signing bonus and the Patriots have a team option for $20 million in 2020.Several Patriots players have commented on Brown’s signing, but head coach Bill Belichick declined to do so after Sunday’s win and again on a Monday conference call.“We have no official transaction so I wouldn’t comment on any player that’s not on our team Womens Joejuan Williams Jersey ,” Belichick said on Monday.There’s now an official transaction, although history says Belichick won’t say much other than the team is going to see how it goes with Brown now that he’s on the 53-man roster. The Patriots will practice on Wednesday with a game against the Dolphins coming up in Week Two.The Patriots released defensive back Obi Melifonwu to make room for Brown. They also released tight end Lance Kendricks after he served a one-game suspension and released tight end Stephen Anderson from their practice squad.
