October 3, 2024

Head Coach Jerod Mayo announced on Wednesday that longtime center David Andrews needs shoulder surgery and that he is out for the season. The injury is a crushing blow for an offensive line that is already thin and struggling. According to sources, Andrews was seeking second opinions but apparently that is no longer an option.

David Andrews has been a walking, talking definition of leadership this season despite all the ups-and-downs. As a captain once again, Andrews has played 100% of the snaps the Pats have had on offense this season and has routinely been the first guy at the podium following some of the ugly and downright embarrassing losses the team has had in 2023. As his ninth year in the league comes to…

They just keep growing and growing and chaos always follows. Buffalo Bills fans have developed quite the reputation and love them or hate them, there’s no denying the passion they have for their routinely failing franchise….

If anyone could be coasting during this abysmal 3-10 season for the Patriots, it’s David Andrews. As a 31 year old veteran whose been beaten up during his now nine-year career, it would be understandable if Andrews wasn’t as engaged or committed to the every day grind – especially in December – when the team is just struggling to keep its head above water. However, it’s been the complete opposite….

With the MIAA playoffs in full swing this weekend, I thought it’d be a good time to get a bunch of Patriots players to talk about their favorite high school football memories, particularly in the postseason. After all, if not for people supporting them in the early stages of their careers, most pros wouldn’t be where they are today. High school football is really where dreams start to become a…

As ugly as it’s been around Foxborough lately, things could be much, much worse. With so much chaos going in the world and this country seemingly in more and more disarray by the minute, football is obviously providing an escape for many, including players. But, when the wins aren’t coming, it’s easy for fans – especially around here after so many years of success – to quickly turn negative, and…

The Patriots offensive line struggled last season under the direction of former play caller Matt Patricia. After the season, Bill Belichick hired former Patriots offensive lineman and veteran offensive line coach Adrian Klemm to help fix this unit. Klemm’s first order of business is to figure out who his right tackle will be. With Conor McDermott and free agent additions Calvin Anderson and Riley Reiff all in the mix to…
