Judge being named AHC can be a positive for the Patriots, especially on special teams

March 24, 2023

We learned yesterday that Joe Judge’s title next season will be Assistant Head Coach/Special Teams. According to sources, Judge will assistant special teams coaches Cam Achord and Joe Houston. Jobs shaking out in NE, and here's a big one—Joe Judge will be in an ass't head coach role with the @Patriots in '23 (with personnel elements/some parallels to Matt Patricia's '21 role), per sources. On-field, he'll work closely with Cam…

Thanks to a bombshell article in yesterday’s Boston Herald by Andrew Callahan and Karen Guergian, we got an inside look at just how dysfunctional the Patriots were offensively this season. According to sources who spoke to Callahan and Guergian on the condition of anonymity, the offensive staff was described as “disheveled” and that they were”scrambling” to get things done. One source went as far as to say “I love…

Let’s say you hire an offensive coordinator. What happens to Matt Patricia and Joe Judge?

(Photo by Barry Chin/The Boston Globe via Getty Images) Bill Belichick has a lot of decisions to make this off-season. At the top of the list is figuring what to do with Matt Patricia and whether or not he gets to keep his job as the play caller on offense. Patricia was not officially the offensive coordinator and given the underwhelming performance of the offense this past season, there is…

It might only be Mac Jones’ second year in the league, but if the Patriots are going to be successful this year, he needs to be the guy leading the way. Fairly or unfairly, Jones is going to get most of the credit or most of the blame when it comes to wins and losses. Now, Matt Patricia, Joe Judge and Bill Belichick will garner some of the blame if…

By Mason Sousa, Special Contributor Image courtesy of Photo by Fred Kfoury III/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Now why the hell would a Patriots fan want to read what a pessimistic fan has to say? Maybe the haters would love it? But I think the diehard positive fan would too. You see the New England Patriots just finished the best team sport run in the history of professional sports led…

Patriots: When it comes to the Patriots coaching structure, In Bill We Trust does not apply

May 18, 2022

0 comment

In Bill We Trust is a moniker Patriots fans have adopted through the years to show faith in Bill Belichick and his decision making. Since the departure of Tom Brady in 2020 however, you are hearing that moniker being thrown around less and less. Now all of sudden, Patriots fans don’t trust Belichick. Especially when it comes to personnel decisions and how he structures his coaching staff. Patriots fans have…

On Wednesday morning’s episode of ESPN’s Get Up, former NFL quarterback and current NFL analyst Dan Orlovsky expressed concern about the current Patriots offensive staff. Orlovsky questioned whether or not the Patriots are putting Mac Jones in the best position to succeed with the current offensive staff. https://twitter.com/getupespn/status/1511729138482225159?s=21&t=_VPt-XJBogDCeFBYVQBNBQ Orlovsky referred to current offensive assistants Matt Patricia and Joe Judge as “failed head coaches” and said their lack of experience on…

Patriots: Patriots hire Joe Judge as an offensive assistant

After a two year stint as the head football coach of the New York Giants, Joe Judge is back. The Patriots announced today that they have hired Judge as an offensive assistant. So what does this mean? It means Judge is back and that he will coach on the offensive side of the ball but his role is undetermined. Speculation is rampant that Judge will call the offense but not…

Patriots: The Patriots system is in place. Finding the right person to call the plays is what matters

February 8, 2022

I have often said that Bill Belichick is the Tom Landry of this generation. Landry believed that he can win with any player because of his system. Belichick believes the same thing. The proof is in the pudding as he has only only had two losing seasons in 22 years. It was why in many ways, it does not matter who the Patriots hire as their next offensive coordinator. That…
