I think sky\u2019s the limit for him.\u201d\u00a0 Dugger finished third on the club right behind Phillips with 84 tackles last season, with the next closest player behind him being former linebacker <strong>Kyle Van Noy<\/strong>, who had 66.\u00a0 Dugger also had 5 tackles for a loss, 2 QB hits, 4 interceptions and 5 passes defended in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Offensive lineman <strong>Trent Brown<\/strong> talked about second-year quarterback<strong> Mac Jones<\/strong> in his recent appearance <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/2022\/06\/16\/patriots-news-6-16-daily-team-notebook\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>on the Pat McAfee Show<\/strong><\/a>, with Brown talking about how impressed he&#8217;s been so far with his young QB.\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cMac is always the first one in the building, last one out,\u201d <strong>said Brown<\/strong>. \u201cFor him to be so young and have a lot of weight on his shoulders, you wouldn\u2019t even be able to tell. The way he carries himself, he\u2019s a fun guy.&#8221;\u00a0 Brown also said Jones has a good balance with how he carries himself.\u00a0 \u201cHe can shoot the (expletive) from time to time, but he can really handle his business day-in and day-out,&#8221; said Brown. &#8220;I respect the kid as much as anyone else in the locker room.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Looking at the stats from last season, one thing that stands out is the fact the Patriots made a massive leap in average offensive time of possession on offense in 2021.\u00a0 They ranked 13th in the league and averaged 30:28, up from 26th the year before, which saw them as part of a group of teams who were obviously successful last season. Rounding out this list was the Ravens (1st: 32:22), Packers (2nd: 32:43), Titans (3rd: 32:40), Colts (4th: 31:44) Bills (5th: 31:34), Cardinals (6th: 31:15), Cowboys (7th: 30:20), Buccaneers (8th: 30:21), Chiefs (9th: 30:56), 49ers (10th: 30:40), Raiders (11th: 30:04) and Bengals (12th: 30:39).<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Obviously, a lot of that total can be attributed to their ground game but Jones was clearly the difference-maker.\u00a0 To provide some perspective, after finishing 26th in that category in 2020, the club finished 7-9 and out of the playoffs.\u00a0 Prior to that, they ranked 6th in that category in 2019, and 3rd in that category in 2018, which resulted in their most recent championship season under former QB<strong> Tom Brady<\/strong>.\u00a0 They also ranked 8th in 2017 and 2nd in 2016, which was also a championship season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NFL NOTES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Baltimore Ravens quarterback <strong>Lamar Jackson<\/strong> talked to reporters this Thursday and was asked about his contract status, with Jackson still finding himself without a long-term deal.\u00a0 When asked by reporters,<a href=\"https:\/\/insider.espn.com\/nfl\/story\/_\/id\/34101968\/qb-lamar-jackson-discussing-contract-baltimore-ravens-not-saying-how-handle-training-camp-season-new-deal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong> he reportedly repeated<\/strong><\/a> &#8220;We&#8217;re having a conversation about it&#8221; eight times during his 10-minute press conference.\u00a0 Jackson was asked if he expected to play in Baltimore for the rest of his career and reportedly responded, &#8220;I expect so,&#8221; but after skipping several voluntary practices, it sounds like there might be questions about whether or not his attitude might change if this isn&#8217;t resolved prior to training camp.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; An interesting stat was pointed out by ProFootballFocus&#8217; Timo Riske, who took a look at the pace of play differences that offenses have operated at under different coaches and noted that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acmepackingcompany.com\/2022\/6\/16\/23171837\/green-bay-packers-quarterback-aaron-rodgers-play-clock-late-snap-mike-mccarthy-matt-lafleur\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>the two coaches who work at the slowest pace<\/strong><\/a> on offense were Green Bay&#8217;s <strong>Matt LaFleur<\/strong> and Dallas&#8217; <strong>Mike McCarthy<\/strong> respectively.\u00a0 Riske said that those two being up there was &#8220;probably a[n] [Aaron] Rodgers thing.&#8221;\u00a0 Green Bay has never been much of an up-tempo team, but that data was interesting.\u00a0 Behind those two was <strong>Zac Taylor<\/strong>, <strong>Mike LaFleur<\/strong> and<strong> Joe Brady<\/strong>, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Down in Carolina, despite being rumored to be targeting Cleveland&#8217;s <strong>Baker Mayfield<\/strong>, head coach <strong>Matt Rhule<\/strong> said this week that <strong>Sam Darnold<\/strong> is the team&#8217;s starter heading into 2022 and he expects him to prepare that way heading into training camp.\u00a0 \u201cIf we played today, Sam would be our quarterback,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/sam-darnold-remain-panthers-starting-100000538.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Rhule said<\/strong><\/a>. \u201cSam\u2019s job is to take the next five weeks to make sure he shows up in Wofford [College in South Carolina &#8211; where the team holds training camp] better than he is right now.

He\u2019s got to improve when he gets to training camp, and he has to do it with the pads on when people are trying to knock you down.\u201d\u00a0 The Panthers and Browns have reportedly seen their talks stall and, according to reports, the two sides remain &#8220;not close&#8221;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New England Patriots news for Friday 6\/17 and NFL notes. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":41406,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[21909,22991,1744,315,155,325,22980,121,1781,2019,23062,2303,1215,1741,23056,22264,22647,23061,23059,44,22995,1782,13,1785,22986,23060],"class_list":["post-41929","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-patriots-news","tag-adrian-phillips","tag-bailey-zappe","tag-baker-mayfield","tag-baltimore-ravens","tag-carolina-panthers","tag-cleveland-browns","tag-cole-strange","tag-devin-mccourty","tag-jawhaun-bentley","tag-jakobi-meyers","tag-joe-brady","tag-kyle-dugger","tag-kyle-van-noy","tag-lamar-jackson","tag-lil-jordan-humphrey","tag-mac-jones","tag-matt-lafleur","tag-mike-lafleur","tag-mike-mccarthy","tag-new-england-patriots","tag-pierre-strong-jr","tag-sam-darnold","tag-tom-brady","tag-trent-brown","tag-tyquan-thornton","tag-zac-taylor"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.4 (Yoast SEO v27.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Patriots News 6\/17: Daily Team Notebook<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"New England Patriots news for Friday 6\/17.
