He played in 93 percent of the snaps vs the eagles and in 97 percent vs the Falcons (more than anyone besides brady and the o-linemen). Expand That is because in almost all pass plays he is a designated blocker past line of scrimmage first and catcher second. It is similar to role with Bills he had unless he was not taken seriously by defense and then would make play after play. I watched replays of plays of game and the Rams were careful to keep him covered but they should have spent more of game planning of Edelman. Have not been able to hear from Wade and why he was open so often. 1

Ethan in Cleveland Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 Hogan has always been so overrated. But he did not get a single clean catchable ball in the SuperBowl. Maybe that was him not getting separation, but Brady did him no favors either. For as awful as Goff was, Brady was not much better. The seam pass to Gronk was a good ball but even that one hung a little. He put a few passes in the turf and the INT was a misread. 1
Flip Johnson Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 He's completely dispensable and probably will be dispensed of this offseason. Brady really doesn't throw the ball outside the numbers very often or very effectively anymore. The Pats are not going to invest heavily on an outside receiver at this point.

He has been a good pickup for them and made some big plays in his 3 years... but this was his least effective year and I would not expect them to bring him back.

machine gun kelly Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 We should have never tried to get him on the cheap, and he did perform at NE for awhile. I wouldn’t want him back as we have much more attractive URFA out there this year if not resigned by their respective teams.

Hogan is on the field to block first, catch the ball 2nd. In almost every long run by a Pats RB you can see Hogan downfield effectively blocking a safety or corner. I suspect that the NE Offensive staff could tell you how many yards over the course of a season Hogan's blocks ADD to a RB's run. And I would guess we would be both surprised and impressed by that number. This is what blows my mind about our hatred of Belicheck & NE - we need to stop hating them and start demanding that the Bills organization embrace & mimic their style. Hogan has a role to play. It's clearly defined by the NE staff and he's doing it. And Hogan will stay on the field & on the team until NE either finds someone who can do it better or they change their scheme so they don't need what Hogan does. But for now Hogan is doing what they want him to do to and it help's them win football games. Belicheck has a system and he sticks to it come hell or high water and the results are there for all to see. 2
