The New England Patriots drafted Kyle Williams to bring explosiveness to their offense. Through two games, Zac Blackerby believes they haven’t used him nearly enough. Williams has just two targets and one reception for 10 yards entering New England’s Week 3 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. With A.J. Brown unavailable, Zac believes Williams offers something the rest of the Patriots receiving corps desperately needs: legitimate vertical speed. On this Patriots HIT, Zac explains why getting Williams involved could also help Drake Maye. Maye’s ability to attack defenses downfield was one of the most exciting parts of his game last season. So far this year, New England’s offense has operated much closer to the line of scrimmage. Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson are involved in the running game, Pop Douglas provides a quick-game option and Romeo Doubs has made plays, but Zac wants a receiver who forces opposing safeties to respect the deep ball. Could Williams become that player against Jacksonville? Zac also dives into an encouraging start for the Patriots defense. New England ranks ninth in the havoc-rate statistic discussed on the show at 39.1%, measuring plays that create pressure, tackles for loss, turnovers or pass breakups. With Gabe Akers developing, Harold Landry eventually returning and Carlton Davis working toward getting healthy, Zac believes this defense has room to become even more disruptive. Can the Patriots defense lead the way in Jacksonville? And is Week 3 finally when New England unleashes Kyle Williams? #NewEnglandPatriots #KyleWilliams #DrakeMaye Photo Credit: Gregory Fisher IMAGN Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
