Earlier this week, Patriots coach Jerod Mayo was asked about his future and while he was dismissive of the questions being asked, the reality is, he should be on the hot seat. He has one of only 32 jobs in the world. Being an NFL head coach. Holding onto the job comes to down to winning. The Patriots are 3-11. He should feel some heat. No rationale football fan or…
Maddie Meyer/GettyImages The Patriots had their bye week this week. With four games left in the regular season, it is imperative that the team shows improvement. Simply being competitive isn’t enough. Jerod Mayo and his staff have to show that they evaluated the team during the bye and fixed many of the issues that ail the team. Here are five areas that the Patriots need to improve in during the…
Patriots defensive tackle Christian Barmore has been activated off the injured reserve list ahead of tomorrow’s game against the Los Angeles Rams. Barmore’s return should spark defense that is coming off one of its best performances in the past three years. When healthy, Barmore is a force in the middle of the Patriots defensive line and he should solidify a run defense that has been porous this season. Patriots coach…

According to Josina Anderson, the Patriots are exploring possible trade options and are looking at making deals to upgrade several key positions including wide receiver and offensive line. Anderson is a reputable reporter so I have no doubt that her sources are reliable but if it is true that they are looking to add instead of trading players, that is preposterous. On Wednesday, Patriots coach Jerod Mayo was asked for…
FOXBORO- Patriots coach Jerod Mayo met with the media on Monday and he was asked about how he delegates to his coordinators, specifically offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt. Mayo was asked if Van Pelt has “free reign” when it comes to doing what he wants on offense. Mayo poured cold water on that notion and said that he will play a role in all facets of the team. “It’s not…
It is time for Patriots coach Jerod Mayo to pick a starting quarterback and move on from the circus that he has created in many ways. Mayo’s mixed messaging all spring and summer has come to a head. Either put an end to the shenanigans and name Jacoby Brissett the starter or bypass Drake Maye’s development and throw him to the wolves. Enough with the back and forth! The Patriots…
