Here is the weekly player grades from Pro Football Focus.\u00a0 I listened to Greg Bedard on 98.5 Sports Hub today and he attributed 3.5 of the 6 sacks to Drake Maye.\u00a0 Will Campbell has the #5 Grade of all rookies in this draft and the top rookie Offensive lineman grade.\u00a0 His 71.4 Grade is 27th<\/sup> out of 75 Offensive Tackles.\u00a0 I expected him to be about mid-level amongst all starting Tackles.\u00a0 The midpoint would be 32.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sacks Are a Problem<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Drake Maye has been sacked 34 times this season.\u00a0 If you look at the PFF stats, the Offensive line is not the problem.\u00a0 They have been credited with only 11 of those sacks.\u00a0 That means that Drake Maye has caused most of those.\u00a0 I have said this many times the two TEs can\u2019t block.\u00a0 When they try and chip a good edge rusher, they fail to make a sufficient block.\u00a0 Also, Treveyon Henderson blew two blocks in pass coverage and Maye was directly responsible for 2 sacks of the 6 against the Falcons.\u00a0 I think Maye is too quick to run out of good protection and he also takes sacks rather than attempting to throw into tight windows.\u00a0 He has been coached to prevent those turnover worthy plays, and this has made him hesitant to make throwing attempts while under pressure.\u00a0 On those two sacks that were credited to Maye, he had open receivers but tried to get out of the pocket and run.\u00a0 On the fumble at the end of the 1st<\/sup> half he should have dropped and not try and run away from the free rusher.\u00a0 He has small hands and held the ball low around his hip which allowed Jalon Walker to knock it out of his hand.<\/p>\n

Injuries at the Trade Deadline<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Kayshon Boutte hamstring injury completely changed the Patriots Offense.\u00a0 Without Boutte\u2019s deep threat it changed the way the Offense can operate.\u00a0\u00a0 In the second half, the Offense seemed lost without Boutte in the lineup.<\/p>\n

Kyle Williams was open a few times in the game before his big 4th<\/sup> Quarter mistake running the wrong route.\u00a0 It appears that Williams does not have Drake Maye\u2019s confidence, and he is not looking for him.\u00a0 I think that Josh McDanield has to force Maye to throw to Williams by designing plays for him and making him his 1st<\/sup> read.<\/p>\n

Christian Elliss hip injury further depletes the Patriots weak linebacker corps.\u00a0 How long will he be out?\u00a0 This puts a huge burden on Jack Gibbens to step up.\u00a0 It may make Jahlani Tavai a bigger part of the Defense as well.\u00a0 Marte Mapu is already coming into games when it is an obvious passing situation.\u00a0 Do the Patriots need to find a LB at the trade deadline?<\/p>\n

Coming and Going<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The New England Patriots<\/strong><\/a> announced that they have signed WR Brenden Rice to the practice squad and released RB Jonathan Ward.<\/p>\n

Per Patriots.com Press Release – Rice<\/strong>, 23, was originally drafted by the Los Angeles Chargers in the fifth-round of the 2024 NFL Draft out of Southern California. The 6-foot-2, 210-pounder, saw action in three games as a rookie, primarily on special teams, before finishing the year on injured reserve. Rice was released by the Chargers on Aug. 26, 2025. He began his college career at Colorado (2020-21), spending two seasons at Southern California.\u00a0 Rice is the son of Hall of Famer Jerry Rice.<\/p>\n

Trade Deadline Comes and No Moves<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Patriots inquired about Breece Hall from the Jets but were rebuffed because the Jets didn\u2019t want to trade within the division.\u00a0 I also heard that the Tennessee Titans would not entertain any offers from the Patriots due to the bad blood between the owner Amy Strunk Adams and Mike Vrabel.<\/p>\n

I believe they tried to make moves but either the price was too exorbitant or the value ($$$ vs term) was just not there.\u00a0 Any trade made would disrupt what Mike Vrabel started to build here and they just didn\u2019t think the trade would help them significantly.\u00a0 I think this is a big vote of confidence for the players they currently have on the roster.<\/p>\n

Only 2 Penalties Called Against the Patriots<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This was a season low and a lot can be contributed to the crew that worked the game.\u00a0 One of the two penalties was on a kickoff return and the other was hands to the face by Chaisson.\u00a0 Interesting that Mike Vrabel was all over the officials because on the same play, Offensive Tackle Jae Matthews also had ahold of Chaisson\u2019s facemask, but no call was made on that.<\/p>\n

Game in the Bag \u2026 Until the Fumble<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Patriots dominated the #2 Defensive team in the league in the 1st<\/sup> half and were driving for a possible Field Goal before the half when Jalon Walker broke through untouched.\u00a0 Drake Maye should have been aware of the situation and just dropped to end the half.\u00a0 The Patriots were receiving the 2nd<\/sup> half possession. Instead he has a brain fart and tries to evade the rusher while holding the ball one-handed down by his waist.\u00a0 What a rookie move!<\/p>\n

Atlanta Had the Number 1 Pass Defense Coming into the Game<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t lose sight of this fact.\u00a0 Maye shredded them in the 1st<\/sup> half.\u00a0 Only one other QB has passed for 200 yards against them (Tua Tagovailoa \u2013 205 yards the week before).\u00a0 They were giving up just 149.1 yards passing per game.\u00a0 Maye threw for 257 yards, the highest amount against Atlanta this year.<\/p>\n

Patriots Defense is Ranked 30th<\/sup> at Defending the Red Zone<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As crazy as it seems, New England can\u2019t stop anyone in the Red Zone.\u00a0 Atlanta was 3 for 3 on Sunday and the patriots are giving up TDs at an alarming rate of 68.18%.\u00a0\u00a0 Atlanta exploited the size mismatch of Marcus Jones vs. Drake London on two occasions.<\/p>\n

Kayshon Boutte Highest Rated WR in the League<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Boutte is the highest rated WR when targeted of all receivers in the league.\u00a0 \u00a0His 142.1 % is number one, but surprisingly, Demario Douglas is 3rd<\/sup> and Mack Hollins is 4th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

Tampa Bay is a Tough Matchup<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Not only are the Bucs a tough team to beat, but they are playing at home in hot and humid Florida.\u00a0 The Patriots don\u2019t usually do well against Florida teams.\u00a0 The Buccaneers are a quality team led by Baker Mayfield.\u00a0 They have established superstars.\u00a0 Their biggest advantage is that they are playing at home and coming off a BYE.\u00a0 They are well rested and getting healthier.<\/p>\n

Punter Bounces Back<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Bryce Barringer had a good game with a 57-yard punt as well as a 61-yarder.\u00a0 Two out of his 3 punts came down inside the 20-yard line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
