Patriots sweep aside Jags, analysis and observations
By: Steve Balestrieri
The New England Patriots got off to a good start in pre-season, sweeping aside the Jacksonville Jaguars 47-12 last night in Foxboro. The 47 points was the most the Pats have ever scored in pre-season and all of this with no Tom Brady, Wes Welker, Deion Branch, Chad Ochocinco or starters along the offensive line as Bill Belichick played a lineup of subs to give them a chance to play.
QBs Brian Hoyer and Ryan Mallett both played well and were able to keep drives going and more importantly put points on the board. Hoyer especially was very impressive, looking the part as someone in charge of the offense and making quick reads. Mallett played surprisingly well for his first action, given that he’s only been in camp for about 2 weeks.
