Reports from New England Patriotsâ training camp were far from encouraging. The post-Josh McDaniels era didnât get off to a good start offensively, and some even talked about Mac Jonesâ regressing compared to his first camp.
Their offensive displays in preseason were far from impressive. They donât have a big set of weapons, and the fact that they donât even have an offensive play-caller continues to raise eyebrows around the league.
But as much as people like to question Bill Belichickâs methods and make a big fuzz after a couple of preseason games, Mac Jones actually believes their offense is at a better place as he enters year two.
NFL News: Mac Jones Says Patriots Offense Is Much Better Now
âYeah, itâs been good,â Jones told the media, per ProFootballTalk. âA lot of learning experiences and [thereâs] always room for growth. I think itâs been good. I think weâve ironed out a lot of things and itâs good that theyâre happening now.â
âI feel confident in what weâre doing,â the Alabama product added. âWe just have to go out there and do it for 60 minutes, and thatâs just play-by-play. Obviously during practice, same thing, play-by-play, go out there and execute it and once you turn on the game film and you look back and thereâs 45, 50 good plays then hopefully you come out on top. But thatâs more about executing it and doing your job individually. If we all do that, 11 guys do it close to right every play, then youâll have a good play.â
The Patriots will have to play catch up with the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins in their division, and some project them to miss the playoffs. So, Jones better know something the rest of us donât, as things donât look too promising for them right now.
