If the players didn’t know what route to run that 100% on Mac Jones. He is the one relaying the plays to the offense and it’s his responsibility to make sure everyone is on the same page.
FWIW, on the much debated Thornton dropped pass. This is Bedard's take of the play. Take it for what it is worth (I have I put enough disclaimers that I am not taking it as gold, but just relaying the information?).
He felt the pass by Jones was perfect. He threw the ball before Thornton was down the field and threw it to where Thornton was running to. He claims that Thornton when he looked back, he faded and went farther outside. Bedard claims this has been a problem with Thornton all year. He doesn't believe Jones underthrew the ball because he was throwing to a spot and Thornton faded. He also feels that Thornton did a poor job boxing out the defender.
Bedard watches the game film. So he does have a better perspective of the entire play than all of us who only watch the TV broadcast. But I know a lot of people think Bedard has an agenda.
Bedard also said this was Jones' best game of the season and thought he was great in this game.
He's really defending the hell out of Jones on one play, and killing Meyers for blowing the route which (according to Bedard) made it look as if Jones was the one in the wrong.
He could be right. He isn't the only one in the media who has trashed the Patriots receivers for being slow and not running good routes.
Bedard is very salty today.
have I posted how much I despise Ian Eagle? He should NEVER be assigned to a Patriots game...ever.He's just upset that Felger and Mazz have the day off and he has to deal with the Z team. It is like turning on a Patriots game and finding out Ian Eagle is calling the game.
i know a lot of blame rightfully goes on matt p but what about troy brown?
It was definitely a nice throw.FWIW, on the much debated Thornton dropped pass. This is Bedard's take of the play. Take it for what it is worth (I have I put enough disclaimers that I am not taking it as gold, but just relaying the information?).

I think we can safely say that Troy Brown knows how WRs read defenses and adjust their routes and he knows how an NFL WR gets open. Jakobi understands these element as well. Our problem is that Parker is really just a jump ball / slant guy, Algholor is very talented but seems to shrink in crucial situations, and Tyquan does not have his routes down yet, even though it's evident he has the ability to separate when he makes his breaks.
Is it his job? The passing game coordinator, QB coach, WR coach, TE coach, and the OC all work these elements together.Troy might not be good at coaching, though. Or translating those finer points to Patricia's Tinker Toy offense. Timing problems and sloppy route running have plagued this team all season.
Cleaning out the Patriots notebook, like only Reiss can:
The 2 fumbles by Rham and 1 from a month ago. I wonder if there will be any repercussions.
