Specifically for Japanese study, learning new words is a big memorization project, but thankfully one that can be made easier. But regardless of your method of active studying, there are a lot of things you'll simply need to memorize. From active studying like reading textbooks, to practicing skills like speaking, and trying to read and watch native material, the work needed to reach a high level of Japanese proficiency is vast.

Hit as he released the ball, his last-ditch pass was deflected at the line of scrimmage, wobbling straight into the hands of Tyrann Mathieu, who returned it 27 yards for a touchdown.For those of us learning Japanese, there's a lot we have to do. There he was again on the very next possession, under pressure on third and 6, trying to move up in a pocket that was collapsing around him, foolishly looking to make something out of nothing.

Gifted an 8-yard run on first down by Rhamondre Stevenson to open the first drive, two straight overthrows on second and short left Jones running to the sideline while the punting unit came on, a dismal three and out that would only get worse from there. There was Jones again, jumpy and off target from the outset. Instead, that 15th overall pick of the 2021 draft keeps going backward, worse than he did last year under the coaching malpractice of Belichick buddies Joe Judge and Matt Patricia, worse each week this season despite the arrival of another friend of Belichick’s, Bill O’Brien, whose hoped-for magic touch has yet to materialize. Now, the thrower he finally deemed worthy enough of his first-ever first-round selection at the position just can’t deliver the goods. Once upon a time, Belichick was known for making Brady the greatest QB draft pick of all time, finding him with the 199th pick of the 2000 draft. Way up or way down late in the fourth quarter, Brady was out there slinging away, Belichick always citing an “anything is possible” mantra to justify any injury risk.īill Belichick has continued to stand by Mac Jones, even after benching him twice late in the Patriots' last two losses. But this is a coach who used to insist there was never a score lopsided enough to justify pulling the best players, a reality Tom Brady could attest to better than anyone. It certainly wasn’t all him.”įor the second straight week, Belichick blamed the game’s circumstances over Jones’s performance for the benching, muttering “31-0″ when asked for his thinking behind pulling him.

Will Jones be his QB again next week? “Yeah,” Belichick grumbled. It would be tantamount to admitting he was wrong. No wonder Belichick wouldn’t officially pull the plug on Jones Sunday. Built by his own hands as he is the Patriots’ general manager, deficient in so many crucial areas by his own front office decisions, the lack of a functioning offensive line alone should shift blame from Jones to his coach. The stats do enough to damn the poor job he’s doing coaching this team, but the roster indicts him just as much. If you’d rather drop the hammer on him over Jones, you’ll get no argument here. But back here next season or for a potential fifth year of his rookie deal? No thanks.Ī befuddled Belichick doesn’t have many answers, and his postgame press conferences continue to repeat monosyllabic variations of the same “we have to do everything better” blather. If he’s back to start next week, I wouldn’t be surprised either.

If Jones never starts another game for New England, I wouldn’t be surprised.
