We’re on to the regular season. Well, sort of. The Patriots will have a light practice on Friday before officially finishing the preseason with one more game against the Giants on Sunday night in New Jersey. For all intents and purposes, Thursday was the final day of training camp since Friday will be an unpadded walkthrough. After Sunday, it’ll be all eyes on Miami with the season set to start…

If you were one of the thousands in attendance at the Patriots and Giants joint practice on what was a sweltering Wednesday morning, make sure you keep the posters they were handing out or anything else you may have taken home from the experience. It may have been a turning point kind of day for the direction of this franchise moving forward. The Pats and Giants had an old-school, tough,…

We got 397 words from coach Belichick on Tuesday morning, that’s it. That’s all the media got from Belichick prior to the morning practice as he was peppered with questions regarding Cam Newton and what his situation means for Mac Jones. Any other coach in the NFL probably tries to defuse the situation with some honesty, but Belichick’s unwillingness to have actual conversations with the media only fuels speculation even…

If you’ve seen any of the public practices for the Patriots or watched the first two preseason games, it’s fair to say that the secondary needs Stephon Gilmore back. Now, that’s not to say that they’re completely doomed without him, but if the defense is going to be as elite as we all believe it can be, Gilmore is the final piece to the puzzle. The former Defensive Player of…

On Saturday afternoon, many of the Patriots assistant coaches met with the media while the team had a day off. It’s always good to hear from the guys on Bill Belichick’s staff because they’re always more inclined to be a little more honest when it comes to answering questions, although none of them will ever go full Mike Tomlin on us. One of those assistants that has quite a critical…

For everyone like me who would rather watch a 38-35 game over a 24-21 game, we may be out of luck when watching the Patriots this season. I’m okay with it too if this is what it’s going to look like for the next six months or so. The Patriots offensive line and running backs were completely dominant on Thursday night in a 35-0 preseason win over Philadelphia. Now, in…

AP Photo/Chris Szagola) As far as preseason games go, this one was about as perfect as it gets. Aside from injuries to N’Keal Harry and Josh Uche, it was an ideal night for New England as the Patriots hammered the Eagles 35-0 in the second game of the preseason. The defense held Philadelphia to just 163 yards of total offense while Mac Jones (146 yards) and Cam Newton (103 yards,…
