At this point, nothing hurts the New England Patriots offense more than the truth. Especially when it comes from the opponent.
"I see an offense that's running the football well. It's a very conservative pass game, lots of screens. It's like a defensive guy's calling offense. It's how a defensive guy would call offensive plays, right? Let's not turn the ball over, let's get four yards a play, try to burn clock and that's what they're doing. That's what he's going to do Monday night.
Not exactly an endorsement of where the Patriots offense is going.
Over the past six weeks, no player has thrown more screen than Jones' 37, per Pro Football Focus. Few teams enjoy running the ball more, be it on first down or third down, leading or trailing, than the Patriots. The team throws so many short passes thatThe one area where Joseph might be inaccurate is the Patriots not turning the ball over . The team is currently seventh in the NFL in giveaways per game.
What's sad is how predictable all this felt. It is a testament to Bill Belichick's credibility that he didn't receive more criticism when word leaked out that he was picking between Patricia and quarterbacks coach Joe Judge, another former head coach and Patriots retread, to call plays on offenseBelichick has obviously never been shy about running an unconventional coaching staff — the team still doesn't have an offensive or defensive coordinator in name — but this set-up has so far not worked out, and we've now reached a point where an opposing coach is chuckling about it.
