Some additional thoughts on this Monday:
1) Four weeks into the regular season, if what we’ve seen is any indication, it’s probably safe to say that the JuJu Smith-Schuster signing may end up being the thing that ultimately plagues the New England Patriots in 2023.
Smith-Schuster was targeted a combined five times on Sunday by both Mac Jones (3) and Bailey Zappe (2), with the receiver catching just one of those throws. If that’s not bad enough, his lone catch ended up being fairly frustrating, as he ran his route short of the sticks, catching the ball on a 14-yard gain when the Patriots were facing 3rd-and-15 early in the second quarter.
