The Athletic: A.J. Brown, Patriots passing attack shine in joint practice with the Eagles

[Bill Lee]

To use a Jerrah Jones expression it wasn't all smiles and glory holes, but it was a day that should help settle down some angst-filled NE fans.

Even better that AJB and the rest of the passing offense had a strong day against AJ's former team.

One quote:

Brown burnt his former team with relative ease. Romeo Doubs made an incredible catch over a defender in the end zone. And Maye spread the ball around, showing off his accuracy with passes over the middle of the field.

“He’s very special, and he makes my job a lot easier, and just learning how he sees the game, and just getting on the same page,” Brown said of Maye. “ … He has a lot of arm talent. He can place the ball anywhere.”

The article also suggests the NE running game might not be where we want it to be, and pass protection might need work.

A lot of caveats apply, especially since it's just practice, but it is nice to read that the passing attack looks very good.
