Bailey Zappe:

“I can fix all the rest of the stuff, technique, and everything obviously needs to be corrected. Just playing a physical and dominant” KWhite

While New England Patriots quarterback Jones continues to appear poised to start the 2023 season, second-year signal-caller Bailey Zappe has also quietly seized the back up role behind Jones, which is another solid step forward for the former Western Kentucky standout.

New England Patriots news for Tuesday June 13, 2023.

There remains a fair amount of buzz around Kentucky quarterback Will Levis here in New England, which is setting up what could potentially be an interesting night on Thursday for the New England Patriots.

It’s been an interesting 24 hours since Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com reported on the club potentially exploring trade options for Mac Jones, and here are some thoughts on it.

It was a busy week as New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick met with the media on Monday out in Arizona for the annual coaches’ breakfast, which as usual, was relatively entertaining, yet Belichick remained in midseason form when it came to his replies. 

While there have been rumors about the Patriots potentially moving on from quarterback Mac Jones this offseason, it sounds like the New England Patriots won’t have that option on the table.

Quarterback Bailey Zappe got a little love from his hometown recently, with the former Victoria, Texas East High School signal-caller reportedly set to see his old #4 jersey be retired.

Many New England Patriots fans spent the bulk of the 2022 season asking “Who has the stronger arm? Mac Jones, or Bailey Zappe?”

One thing that’s been interesting to follow has been Dan Orlovsky’s breakdown of the spacing in New England’s offense, with Orlovsky pointing out an interesting fact as it pertains to some of the issues that have made things challenging for Mac Jones in recent weeks.

Home games tend to be a place where a team usually has an advantage but it’s probably safe to say for New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones, no where is really safe for him right now.

If the New England Patriots hope to salvage their season, they’ll need to either go all in behind Mac Jones, or pray that Bailey Zappe just had an off night against Chicago on Monday because if not, Bill Belichick may end up with quite a problem on his hands.

It appears New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones has the ball back in his hands after a report on Wednesday revealed he took 90% of the snaps in practice ahead of Sunday’s AFC East showdown against the Jets. Now he just needs to make sure it stays there.

While New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones will probably get booed the next time he takes the field, at least it won’t be by the home fans.

Any New England Patriots fan who watched Monday night’s game will likely have a tough time getting the scene that played out before them out of their memories.
