As Patriots Begin Offseason Program, All Eyes Are On Bill O’Brien
The Patriots began their offseason program on Monday with players reporting to Gillette Stadium to begin two weeks of strength and conditioning and meetings before getting on the field as a team. There are many new faces after a disappointing 8-9 2022 season, but one stands alone with the most pressure on him: new offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien.

Patriots Draft: Need #6-Defensive Line
When you look at the Patriots roster, defensive line isn’t exactly a pressing need. The Patriots have enough depth at defensive tackle and defensive end but the reality is, they could use another interior lineman and another true defensive end, one that could ideally rush the passer. The only free agent in the group next off-season is Carl Davis so the Patriots do not have to draft a defensive lineman……

Bill O’Brien “reworking” the Patriots offense is the way it is suppose to work
According to Albert Breer of SI.com, new Patriots offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien is “reworking” the Patriots offense. O’Brien was the Patriots offensive coordinator in 2011 and ran the system that was in place. Many believed that when he was hired in January, he would be running the Patriots system again. He may be doing that but it will look vastly different than what we are used to. What people need…
