Things are starting to come together for the Patriots, who won their second-straight preseason game against Carolina on Friday night with a 17-16 victory, improving to 2-1 heading into their final exhibition game next week against the New York Giants.<\/span><\/p>\n

There were some improvements in several areas, with Brady and the offense finally starting to click in the second quarter, while the defense also played well and held Cam Newton and company to just six points in the first half.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a quick rundown of how things went for some of the players who made a little noise during this one:<\/span><\/p>\n

WINNERS:<\/b><\/p>\n

Tom Brady – <\/b>What started out rocky turned out pretty well for the veteran quarterback, who had a rough first quarter where he finished 2-of-6 (33%) for 13 yards and two interceptions, but in the second quarter he finished 5-of-7 (71%) for 71 yards, which included a drive at the end of the half that ended with a terrific touchdown throw to Scott Chandler. \u00a0It was good to see him turn a corner, and hopefully provides a little momentum heading into this final week.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jerod Mayo – <\/b>Mayo stepped up and played well Friday night, showing some nice speed and quickness and was consistently around the football. \u00a0He seems to be settling back in quite well coming back from his injury last season, which is certainly good news for New England\u2019s defense.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rob Ninkovich – <\/b>Ninkovich looks as good as ever so far and he did a good job putting pressure on Newton and the Panthers offense. \u00a0He\u2019s had a good preseason, and it looks like he could be set for another good year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Scott Chandler – <\/b>Fans caught their first glimpse of Chandler Friday night, and if this is any indication of what lies ahead, there are big reasons to be excited about what the future holds this season for the newly-signed tight end. \u00a0Chandler finished with 3 receptions for 40 yards, including his 18-yard touchdown reception from Brady right before the end of the first half. \u00a0He should be pretty dangerous once he\u2019s placed out there alongside Rob Gronkowski, Julian Edelman and Brandon LaFell, and the Patriots offense could be pretty lethal this season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tarell Brown – <\/b>Brown had a great night in coverage and played well. \u00a0With the cornerback situation still somewhat uncertain opposite Malcom Butler, Brown has quietly become a viable candidate for the job and Friday night was another good effort for him.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dominique Easley – <\/b>Easley had one of his best performances so far as a pro and it was actually surprising to see just how fast and strong he looked, with the second-year defensive lineman finishing the night with a sack, two quarterback hits, and two tackles for a loss. \u00a0The sack was impressive as Easley broke through and took Newton down with just one arm, showing you how strong he really is because Newton isn\u2019t exactly a small player. \u00a0Hopefully this is just the beginning and if it is, he\u2019s going to be fun to watch this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chandler Jones – <\/b>Jones had another good night, finishing with a sack and provided some good pressure. \u00a0He\u2019s had injury issues in past seasons but if he stays healthy, he\u2019s another player that will hopefully finally help New England put pressure on opposing quarterbacks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jabal Sheard – <\/b>Sheard had a quiet night but still made some noise for the Patriots defense, including a big stop inside the seven yard line when the Panthers were driving. \u00a0He\u2019s had a great camp and a great preseason and appears to be another great addition this offseason.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dax Swanson – <\/b>Swanson had a good game, finishing with two passes defensed and played well. \u00a0It was his best night so far, and it was hard not to notice him.<\/span><\/p>\n

Malcolm Butler – <\/b>Not much else can be said. \u00a0Butler continues to play well and looks confident, and his body control and quickness is just impressive. \u00a0Hopefully this carries into the regular season, but he really seems like he\u2019s going to have a good year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dion Lewis<\/strong> – Lewis had another solid outing, catching all four attempts thrown his way, including a 9-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter that helped pull the Patriots within two points, and they eventually kicked the game winning field goal on the ensuing drive. \u00a0Lewis has had a good preseason and\u00a0seems to have a good shot at earning the role as the team’s third down back.<\/p>\n

James Morris – <\/b>Morris lead all Patriots tackles and played well. \u00a0He\u2019s another player that has had some good moments, giving New England a pretty deep group as they continue evaluating their roster.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jimmy Garoppolo – <\/b>Garoppolo had another great night and it was probably his most complete performance of the preseason as he played well from start to finish. \u00a0He\u2019s progressed quite a bit this preseason and he\u2019s certainly starting to look like an NFL quarterback, which considering the uncertainty still surrounding Brady\u2019s status for week one, it\u2019s definitely encouraging.<\/span><\/p>\n

MIXED REVIEWS:<\/b><\/p>\n

Aaron Dobson<\/b> – Dobson had a rough night, which saw him make a great reception early in the game but it was ripped away from him by Charles Tillman as he hit the ground. \u00a0He also had another pass attempt to him intercepted after Brady followed him with his eyes but it almost looked like Dobson stopped a little too soon in his route instead of moving laterally a little farther. \u00a0However, he redeemed himself late in the contest after hauling in a 40-yard reception from Jimmy Garoppolo that helped pull the Patriots back within two at 16-14. \u00a0So it was good to see him continue fighting and that\u2019s what he\u2019ll need to do to be on the roster in two weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n

LeGarrette Blount <\/b>\u00a0– Blount hasn\u2019t had a great preseason, and Friday night was another rough night. \u00a0He was playing late in the game behind a bad offensive line mix, and he struggled to gain much in terms of yardage. \u00a0He finished the night with 8 carries for 31 yards, but he had a couple carries for either no gain or a loss and he\u2019s too big and too powerful to let that happen. \u00a0Hopefully once he\u2019s back behind New England\u2019s normal offensive line, we\u2019ll see the same production we saw the past two years.<\/span><\/p>\n

Brandon Bolden – <\/b>Like Blount, Bolden couldn\u2019t get much going in the running game either and was taken down multiple times for a loss. \u00a0Fortunately he\u2019s a terrific special teams player, but it would be nice to see him make more consistent contributions running the football.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jonas Gray – <\/b>Gray had a rough night as well, and he was another back that struggled gaining yards. \u00a0He finished with the lowest yards-per-carry average of any of the Patriots players Friday night, averaging a paltry 2.2. \u00a0He\u2019s had some good moments during this preseason, but unfortunately Friday night wasn\u2019t one of them.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
