As we head into Training Camp, scheduled to begin July 28th<\/sup>, lets take a look back at 2019 season to see what went right and wrong.<\/p>\n

The Patriots offense was the worst since 2006.\u00a0 Their dependency on the 21 offense of 2 running backs and 1 TE is incredible.\u00a0 This is a throwback to the old days of the NFL power football.\u00a0 The only problem is the Patriots didn\u2019t have the horses to play this style of play.\u00a0 \u00a0They were 23rd<\/sup> in yards per play last year and 25th<\/sup> from game 7 on.<\/p>\n

Injuries to starting fullback James Devlin and subsequent injury to his replacement Jacob Johnson shutdown the Patriots running game and the use of the 21 offense.\u00a0 Dan Vitale should help this position.\u00a0 He is not the blocker Devlin was but he is a far superior pass catcher.<\/p>\n

The TE play was the worst in the league and only Steelers’ tight ends had fewer yards.\u00a0 Not only were they the worst catching the ball, but their blocking wasn\u2019t much better either.\u00a0 They drafted two TEs to upgrade this position.<\/p>\n

The wide receivers ranked near the bottom of the league as well.\u00a0 This was due in part to their inability to get off the line of scrimmage cleanly and separate from the defenders.\u00a0 A second factor was dropped passes.\u00a0 Julian Edelman was particularly susceptible to this.<\/p>\n

N\u2019 Keal Harry suffered an ankle injury in pre-season and that hurt his development with Tom Brady (who skipped all off season workouts which further set back the familiarization).<\/p>\n

Mohammed Sanu was playing with a high ankle sprain that rendered him useless.\u00a0 It was so bad that he required off season surgery.\u00a0 Sanu was also playing out of position.\u00a0 He played in the slot for Atlanta and was out wide for the Pats.<\/p>\n

The Return of Andrews should help the offense in 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n

Offensive line was injured and really didn\u2019t round into form all year.\u00a0 David Andrews went out early in Training Camp with blood clots in his lungs and was gone all year.\u00a0 Ted Karras filled in admirably, but he wasn\u2019t Andrews.<\/p>\n

After missing all his rookie season LT Isaiah Wynn didn\u2019t get into the lineup until week 9.\u00a0\u00a0 Marcus Cannon was banged up all year and was ineffective when he did play.\u00a0 Despite the injuries Pro Football Focus had them ranked 10 in the league as a unit.<\/p>\n

Andrews is back, Thuney is playing on the franchise tag\u00a0 (as of this writing he hadn\u2019t signed a long term deal and wasn\u2019t expected to).\u00a0 Thuney was ranked by PFF as the number 5 OG in the league last year.<\/p>\n

Shaq Mason\u2019s 4 year average ranked #5 in the league and he is a roadgrader when they run the ball.\u00a0 Cannon and Wynn will be back.\u00a0\u00a0 This will be the 1st<\/sup> time their entire starting OL will be playing together.<\/p>\n

Yodny Cajuste was drafted knowing he was hurt and the Pats gave him a redshirt year last season.\u00a0 He could push Cannon for the starters role.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0Three rookies were drafted late to provide backup and development on the Practice squad.<\/p>\n

The biggest loss will be future Hall of Fame O line coach Dante Scarnecchia.\u00a0 \u00a0It will take two people to replace him,.\u00a0 Carmen Bracillo was the Asst OL coach last year so they have a year under Scar\u2019s tutelage.\u00a0 Cole Popovich will move from Asst RB coach to Asst OL coach.<\/p>\n

QB play by Tom Brady was a problem too.\u00a0 He was ineffective last year.\u00a0 Many said he didn\u2019t have the time to pass because of the makeshift line and ineffective running game.\u00a0 However, he missed wide open receivers when he did have time to throw.\u00a0 Against Tom Brady, opposing defenses would play the 20 yard box against him.\u00a0 They would only cover the 20 yards from the line of scrimmage back to the Safety.<\/p>\n

Brady\u2019s anemic passing completion percentage beyond 20 yards downfield allowed then to do this.\u00a0\u00a0 They would dare Brady and his WRs to throw deep.\u00a0 Teams will not be able to do this with Newton.\u00a0 Further they will have to respect Newton\u2019s running ability, often employing a spy.\u00a0 One aspect of Newton\u2019s game that needs improvement is his play action passing.\u00a0 He needs to sell the handoff better.\u00a0 Last years lack of running game took that element out of the Patriots playbook.<\/p>\n

I’m excited to see what a motivated Cam Newton, healthy Offensive Line, improved Wide Receivers and Tights Ends in an innovative offense by Josh McDaniel might do this year.\u00a0\u00a0 They have a tough schedule, but if the Offense can move the ball against quality opponents, they will be a dangerous contender all season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
