Patriots: Now we know why the Patriots signed Cam Newton

Monday night we caught a glimpse of what life would look like without Cam Newton and it wasn’t pretty. All off season we foolishly believed that the Patriots could compete with either Brian Hoyer or Jarrett Stidham as their starting quarterback. That notion has been put to bed. We trusted in Bill and the system. As good as Bill and the system are however, you cannot overcoming bad quarterback play….

Patriots: Recapping Bill Belichick’s weekly interview with OMF on WEEI

It’s been quite a week or so for the Patriots. Glenn Ordway, Lou Merloni and Christian Fauria had the unenviable task of interviewing the coach on Tuesday afternoon. The loss was one thing, but, just the circumstances surrounding the team right now are making the “focus on what you can control” mantra harder than ever to follow. What stood out Tuesday?

The incredible story was unfolding before all of our eyes. New England’s starting quarterback was diagnosed with…

Patriots: Scouting the Chiefs Offense and Defense

When watching film on the Chiefs, the first thing that pops out at you is their speed. Not just on offense. On the entire team. Kansas City is built to play fast and we saw it first hand against a Ravens team that is built to be physical. They looked slow in all three phases of the game last Monday night. It seemed as if only Marquise Brown and Devin…

X’s and O’s: Breaking down the Air Raid from the beginning to now

Image courtesy of Sean Gardner/Getty Images The Air Raid. An offensive system synonymous with scoring. A system that has taken the football world by storm the last 25 years. Notice I said system. The Air Raid is not an “offense” per say like the Spread, Wing-T, Flexbone or Wishbone. The Air Raid is a variation of the West Coast Offense and the Run & Shoot. Perhaps the biggest difference between…
