Patriots: McDaniels talks offense, QB’s for first time in training camp

August 4, 2021

There’s only one other guy on offense that everyone wants to hear from this training camp other than Mac Jones or Cam Newton and it’s not a player. Josh McDaniels is the guy closest to the “competition” and we finally heard from him on Wednesday afternoon following practice. McDaniels said right now is still just a learning phase, so there hasn’t been true evaluation yet. “Right now, everybody’s in a…

Patriots: Patriots drop the ball by not trading for Julio Jones

June 7, 2021

The Patriots went all in this off-season spending over $160 million dollars on new contracts. The shopping spree was very Un-Patriot like and a surprise given Bill Belichick’s tendency to be fiscally conservative when it comes to spending money.

May 19, 2021

The Patriots re-signed long time time back up Brian Hoyer on Monday to a one year deal. The Hoyer signing came on the heels of the team signing guard Alex Redmond earlier in the day. Redmond has starting experience and would provide an experienced option off the bench. Enough about him however. Back to Hoyer. So what does the Hoyer signing mean? I don’t know?

March 19, 2021

“F**k it, I’m back in.” That was my buddy Mike’s reaction in a group text at about 8 P.M. on Thursday night after Cam Newton put up another Instagram post of himself following a workout. It was probably the same reaction many Patriots fans had, the fans that refuse to believe this team can be as bad as it was last year. These videos are nothing new, as Cam has been…
