All eyes will be on rookie quarterback Mac Jones as the Patriots kick off rookie mini camp today in Foxboro. Jones was taken with the 15th overall pick in the first round of this year’s draft. Expectations are high for the Alabama quarterback as the Patriots and fans alike are hoping that Jones is the long term answer at quarterback. Jones has the size at 6-3 217, poise arm strength…
Surprise! Scott Zolak and Rob “Hardy” Poole were able to get Tom Brady Sr. on with them during Thursday’s Zolak and Bertrand Show for a surprise interview and ended up having a phenomenal 15 minutes with him. Zo and Hardy asked Brady Sr. about a number of different things, most notably the return in Week 4 and he had quite a few interesting things to say, here’s a complete breakdown…
Schedule Day used to be a lot more fun when the Patriots were competitive. The 2021 Pats’ schedule leaked throughout the day on Wednesday, but became official on Wednesday night when the NFL “officially” announced games for the entire league. When the Patriots were guaranteed to go 12-4, 13-3 or 14-2 almost every season, fans could enjoy circling wins and maybe the occasional loss while making plans for who was…
The Patriots 2021 schedule is suppose to be unveiled tonight but the schedule has been leaked on line. Several sources have confirmed that this is in fact the Patriots schedule so here are my thoughts on it. Familiar foes highlight weeks one and two: The Patriots kick off the season at home for the second straight season against the Miami Dolphins. New England beat Miami 21-11 in last season’s opener….
The NFL is releasing their 2021 schedules on Wednesday night. Locally, we will be watching to see when the Patriots will welcome old friends Tom Brady and Mike Vrabel to Foxboro and when they will travel to Atlanta, Carolina and Los Angeles to take on the Chargers. The schedule will be leaked throughout the day so we will probably know their schedule before the schedule release show. Before that happens…
For months now, Mac Jones has been compared to Trey Lance, Zach Wilson and Justin Fields. For some ungodly reason, Jones has already been compared to Tom Brady as well. Let’s get this out of the way first. STOP COMPARING HIM TO BRADY. It’s one thing to say he has mannerisms like Brady (footwork in the pocket, arc on certain throws…maybe) but to put that type of pressure on the…
Bill Belichick announced in his post draft press conference on Saturday evening that this year’s draft would be the last draft for long time Patriots Director Of Football Research Ernie Adams. Adams had decided to retire. Adams made it official by releasing a statement on Monday. The last 21 seasons with the New England Patriots have been extraordinary for me. I am fortunate to have been part of a team…
The Patriots have decided to pick up left tackle Isaiah Wynn’s fifth year option meaning he is now with the team through the 2022 season. The same cannot he said for Sony Michel. The Patriots declined to pick up Michel’s fifth year option. After a solid start to his career that saw Michel rush for 1,843 yards and 13 touchdowns between 2018 and 2019, he tapered off last season rushing…
I should have known. On Thursday morning, I wrote that Bill Belichick was drafting for his job this weekend. In fact, I said Belichick needed to show Pats fans he wasn’t just going to be content riding out his days here in New England like he just wanted to play shuffle board with Frank Costanza at Del Boca Vista. I truly believed if there wasn’t a legitimate direction for people…
The Patriots added five more players in Saturday’s draft. Here are my thoughts on the players the Patriots in the fifth, sixth and seventh round. Cameron McGrone, ILB, 6-0 235 Michigan: McGrone is only 20 years old so he’s young. He won’t turn 21 until June 22nd. McGrone suffered a knee injury in November so there is a good chance he could miss the upcoming season. McGrone has played SAM……
