The New England Patriots entered their bye week on a low note after getting blown out 34-10 by the Tennessee Titans.

They showed weaknesses in all three phases of the game — but we will concentrate on another aspect of the team today: its coaching staff. Despite some turnover during the offseason and a roster that lost some core contributors from years past to free agency Patrick Chung Color Rush Jersey , it still guided the club to a 7-3 record at the bye.The main reason why New England again sits comfortably atop the AFC East and is right in the hunt for a first-round playoff bye is the team’s offense. Even though Josh McDaniels’ unit struggled over the first quarter of the season, it bounced back quickly and turned into one of the NFL’s best between weeks four and seven. That being said, it has still not lived up to its potential and displayed some inconsistency as of late.New England’s offensive inconsistency, however, pales in comparison to the team’s other two units. Led by first-year de-facto coordinator Brian Flores, the defense played terrific for stretches but struggled to build on any potential momentum. Joe Judge’s special teams group also looked uncharacteristically sloppy all year long but also is the only kicking game unit in the NFL to score touchdowns off both a return and a block.With all that in mind, how would you grade the coaching staff after 10 weeks? Let us know below! Yesterday, the NFL announced its 2019 Pro Bowl rosters and as expected the selections led to quite the discussion on and off social media. From the New England Patriots’ perspective Derek Rivers Jersey , the main topics are the inclusion of quarterback Tom Brady — the Hall of Famer is having a down year compared to his own lofty standards but still has a case as one of the AFC’s top three passers — and the exclusion of a handful of seemingly worthy candidates.None of the Patriots’ snubs is bigger than fullback James Develin, though. There are two reasons for that: his own play during the season and the man who took the lone fullback spot on the AFC’s Pro Bowl team, the Kansas City Chiefs’ Anthony Sherman. Let’s start by taking a look at Sherman’s numbers to potentially find a reason why he has been voted to his first ever all-star game:Anthony Sherman 2018 statisticsPlayerGamesPlaying TimeTouchesYardsTouchdownsPlayerGamesPlaying TimeTouchesYardsTouchdownsPlaying only 89 total snaps during the first 14 games of the regular season and touching the football irregularly, the 30-year old is a rotational and package-specific player in the Chiefs’ high-octane offense — one that sees most of his playing time on special teams (which is, however, irrelevant for Pro Bowl purposes). And even though Sherman is as solid as a lead blocker, his overall contributions to the offense are comparatively limited.James Develin, on the other hand Donald Trump Color Rush Jersey , plays as big a role within the Patriots’ offense as any other fullback in the NFL:James Develin 2018 statisticsPlayerGamesPlaying TimeTouchesYardsTouchdownsPlayerGamesPlaying TimeTouchesYardsTouchdownsWhile Sherman has Develin beat when it comes to yards gained, New England’s fullback plays a lot more snaps than the Chiefs’ and finds the end zone more often — all while being no worse as a lead blocker. And even though the Patriots offense is less spectacular and successful than Kansas City’s, the team’s running game actually plays a bigger role in the overall composition of the unit as a whole.So how come Sherman gets the nod over Develin? The answer might be a simple one: the Chiefs offense is the best in football and Sherman a part of it. That does not mean he is having a bad year; the 30-year old certainly is among the league’s better players at his position. However, when it comes to the pinnacle of fullback play in this era of the NFL it does not get much better than James Develin — and 2018 is no exception.What do you think, is Develin the Patriots’ biggest Pro Bowl snub? Or is it a player like center David Andrews, guard Shaq Mason, or defensive edge Trey Flowers?
