You can't see it in this video, but I loved the decisive TD call by the zebra, the same one who Immediately ruled Edelman's catch a catch too.

I love Josh as an OC. But there was always one thing that I had an issue with, and that is that he did not use motion enough.


I think we're going to find that has changed this time around.

Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez played his first season under Bill Belichick. He played his second season under Jerod Mayo. He will play his third season under Mike Vrabel.

Gonzalez said things changed inside the building from 2023 to 2024.

“I would say the building got a little more lax. I mean, that might have hurt us,” Gonzalez said Wednesday on PFT Live with Mike Florio and Chris Simms. “I would probably say it got a little more lax.”...

...Gonzalez has yet to meet his new coach, but he thinks he knows what to expect.

“I know he’s a Patriot, in the Patriot Hall of Fame. They talk good about him,” Gonzalez said. “I’ve heard it’s going back to what they call the ‘Patriot Way.’ For sure, I’m ready.”

I'm still happy to have him back. Even though I wasn't a big Josh fan for years. Him and Vrabel got me looking forward to Patriots football again. Not sure I even watched a full game under Mayo.

The New England Patriots are set to hire Mike Smith as their new outside linebackers coach, according to ESPN’s Mike Reiss on Wednesday.

Smith has had a lengthy coaching career that goes all the way back to his work as a linebackers coach in 2009 at the University of Hawaii at Mānoa. He most recently served as the Minnesota Vikings outside linebackers coach and pass rush specialist from 2022-2023...

Can't believe I'm saying this but watch the Bedard video posted earlier. He reports that Josh has been working his ass off and spent time at a few college teams and NFL teams last season just learning and exchanging knowledge. Yeah running a draw play on 3rd and 18 was at times pretty frustrating but we did have an immobile QB under center, Maye gives us options in that situation.

I thought it was ownership/Ran Carthon who dealt AJB and not Vrabel/Robinson...?

Correct, Vrabel was pissed from what I read
