The Patriots didn’t exactly light it up in a battle of the two worst offenses from 2023.  The Patriots Defense stood out by limiting Carolina to 2 of 14 in 3rd down plays.  For three quarters they were dominant and gave up a late Field Goal with less than two minutes left in the game to break up the shutout.  Carolina played only one of their starters on Defense and none on Offense.

Some quick thoughts coming off of Thursday night’s 17-3 preseason New England Patriots win over the Carolina Panthers.

Here’s the full transcript of Jerod Mayo’s postgame press conference following the New England Patriots’ win over the Carolina Panthers Thursday night.

If you wanted to see a lot of Drake Maye, we hope you didn’t blink.

It was mostly an evening of hoping Maye and Jacoby Brissett didn’t get injured, showcasing Bailey Zappe for a likely trade, and seeing what all Joe Milton can do. When the evening ended, Brissett and Maye didn’t get hurt, Zappe perhaps caught someone’s eye, and Milton may be the second coming of Michael Bishop.

Here’s the full interview during Mike Reiss of ESPN’s appearance on 98.5 The Sports Hub with Michael Felger and Tony Masserotti on Wednesday.

It’s not often you see ESPN reporter Mike Reiss get heated, but that’s what happened on Wednesday afternoon as Reiss appeared on Felger & Mazz on 98.5 to discuss the situation with Brandon Aiyuk.

The Patriots will knock heads against someone other than their own teammates.  They had two practices this week before their first Preseason game on Thursday versus the Carolina Panthers.

Since being hired on to lead the rebuild for this New England Patriots team, Wolf was handed plenty of cap space and the keys to help put together a competitive roster, but so far, he’s finding out what it’s like to try and do that from a less than ideal position.

The Patriots are no strangers to being strung along when it comes to trying to acquire a player, and once again, Eliot Wolf walked away from the table Tuesday night when it came to San Francisco wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk.

Tuesday ended up being a wet, mistake-ridden practice for the Patriots ahead of Thursday night’s preseason opener against the Panthers, but there were a couple of notable non-participants that raised some eyebrows.

While Jerod Mayo wouldn’t directly address the rumors that continue to swirl about the Patriots potentially trading for Brandon Aiyuk, the head coach did say he’s addressed one player whose name has come up in those discussions.

As the Patriots head into another practice on Tuesday, there were some interesting developments overnight on Monday when it comes to disgruntled 49ers wideout, Brandon Aiyuk.

Out in San Francisco, the rumors continue to swirl when it comes to the future of disgruntled wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, while in New England, he remains a player fans would love to  see end up here.

Following an off day on Sunday, the New England Patriots were back at it during another hot and humid session on the practice fields behind Gillette Stadium.

We all support Drake. We all know what it’s like to be a rookie in this league., and it’s not all peaches and cream.”

Once the pads came on the Offensive line was winning the majority of one-on-0ne battles with the Defensive line. 

Mayo said during his press conference that Matthew Judon would be out on the field participating, and that’s what happened on Thursday.

Here’s the full transcript of what New England Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo had to say on Thursday, August 1, 2024.

Patriots veteran Matthew Judon was not out early for the start of Tuesday’s practice.  The veteran normally comes out and plays catch with the fans, and up to this point, despite his contract issues, he had been out there.

What have we learned about the 2024 Patriots team after five days of practices.

Just days after getting his contract extension, New England Patriots safety Jabrill Peppers did not make it through the first day of the Patriots’ padded practices.

With the news of Christian Barmore being diagnosed with blood clots that will potentially keep him out for the foreseeable future, Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo praised his staff for helping make the determination in Barmore seeking further medical attention.

The Patriots announced on Monday the list of players who put in the work this offseason, with the club revealing the list of names of guys who set the right example leading up to 2024.

The Patriots apparently got some disappointing news over the weekend, with veteran defensive tackle Christian Barmore’s status for 2024 now in reportedly in question.

While the New England Patriots offense continued looking for consistency, it feels like it hasn’t quite found it yet.
