<h2>Rob Gronkowski picks surprising number of wins for the Patriots</h2>



Rob Gronkowski&nbsp;was asked about how many wins the New England Patriots will get in the 2023 NFL season during an interview with&nbsp;Kay Adams. Even in a very complicated AFC East, the former tight end was optimistic.

The big question is why Gronk believes the&nbsp;Patriots&nbsp;could get to that number in a tough division. “They got a great coach in there. They’re gonna be coached no matter what. They’re gonna win games. They’re gonna win the tough games and they’re gonna win over 7.5 for sure. It doesn’t matter (the division). Their coaching is just too superb. Don’t forget the offensive coordinator (Bill O’Brien).”

Last year, Ezekiel Elliott was relegated to a backup role behind Tony Pollard. He spent seven seasons with the Cowboys, but his high salary was a huge problem for the team and that’s why they decided to part ways with him.

Earlier this year, Zeke became a free agent, trying to find a team interested in his services. After a positive visit with the Patriots, he received a contract offer to play the upcoming season for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bill-belichick" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bill Belichick’s</a> team.



<h2>What jersey number has Ezekiel Elliott selected in the Patriots?</h2>



The Patriots will have a new running back for the 2023 season. Ezekiel Elliott has singed a one-year deal with New England, trying to prove that he’s still an elite player.



Zeke will live a new phase of his career, with a new number on his back. Elliott used the 21 during his time with the Cowboys, but that jersey is currently used by CB Adrian Phillips.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jordan-love">Jordan Love</a>‘s first year as the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/green-bay-packers">Green Bay Packers</a> starting quarterback will be one of the biggest storylines heading into the 2023 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots">New England Patriots</a> signal-caller <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mac-jones">Mac Jones</a> hasn’t been in his place exactly, but he did go through a similar situation.



The Alabama product was selected in the 2021 draft, one year after Tom Brady left Foxborough, but he still had to live with the expectations left by the seven-time Super Bowl champ.



Love, meanwhile, has to fill in some big shoes as he’s taking over for Aaron Rodgers. Jones knows what is like to replace someone who set the bar so high, which is why he had something to say for the Packers QB.



<h2>Mac Jones’ advice to Jordan Love</h2>



“I think Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback to ever play in the NFL,” Jones said, via Chris Mason of MassLive.com. “So to follow him, it’s just trying to chase the standard that he set every day.



“Honestly, we’re definitely two different players. That’s the only advice I’d have: Just continue to grow and be yourself, right? That’s all you can do. Put your best foot forward and compete. But yeah, it’s definitely big shoes to fill.”

Both are going to be under pressure this season, as their respective teams will closely keep an eye on them before making a long-term decision. But as Jones said, the best for Love is to focus on what he can control.

It has not been easy for Mac Jones to live up to the expectations. However, the Pats still think he’s the right quarterback for them, and they have been signing top players to help him achieve success.



<h2>Mac Jones may lose a crucial Patriots teammate</h2>



Mac Jones arrived in 2021 to Boston as the 15th overall pick. The former Alabama player was set to replace Tom Brady, a living legend of the Patriots who gave the franchise six Super Bowls.



Of course, Jones doesn’t have an easy job to do. The expectations are really high, but unfortunately he has been unable to live up to them after two campaigns. Now, the team’s front office has been adding several players to help him in his quest, but the quarterback recently lost one of them.



Mike Gesicki left today’s practice due to an injury. The tight end suffered a suffered a mild dislocated shoulder, and he’s expected to miss the entire preseason, but would return in Week 1 of the regular campaign.

Recently, both Dalvin Cook and Ezekiel Elliott were released by the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/minnesota-vikings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Minnesota Vikings</a> and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dallas Cowboys</a>, respectively, in highly unexpected moves by their respective franchises.

This doesn’t imply that there are no teams interested in them. Presently, it appears that both Cook and Elliott have come to an agreement to play for the same club this year, significantly strengthening their offense and enhancing their chances of competing for a playoff spot.



<h2>Dalvin Cook and Ezekiel Elliott are on their way to the AFC East</h2>



The days of being free agents could soon be over for Dalvin Cook and Ezekiel Elliott. The running backs are actively seeking teams interested in their services, and it appears that they have chosen the same club to play for this year.



Michael Lombardi, a former Bill Belichick aide, has hinted that the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New England Patriots</a> will sign both Cook and Elliott prior the start of the 2023 season. According to him, the running backs will join the team soon.



“I think Dalvin and Zeke are gonna sign with two weeks to go (before the season starts),” Lombardi said on the PatMcAfee Show. “I think both know where they’re gonna go. I think both don’t want to play yet until camp gets over.”

The Patriots are the sole team that Zeke has visited, and they are also showing interest in Cook. If New England signs both free agents, they would possess a highly formidable tandem to support Mac Jones in achieving success this very year.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots">New England Patriots</a> lost to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/houston-texans">Houston Texans</a> by 9-20 in their preseason opener. Even though it was just a preseason game, the fans were not happy with the result. They still have two games left in the preseason schedule.



Starting the preseason with a loss is not a bad sign, but for the approximately 65,000 fans who attended the game, it could be a bad sign, especially for the defensive line, that they were not doing their job properly.



The worst thing is that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bill-belichick">Bill Belichick</a> could be close to his last season as head coach, since there are many rumors about his future. However, so far there is nothing confirmed about his future with the franchise. It is likely that everything depends on how the Patriots perform in the 2023 season.



<h2>How many people attended the New England Patriots preseason opener?</h2>



According to the official gamebook published on the Patriots.com website, 64,628 people attended the Patriots preseason opener. They lost the game against the Texans, but still have two games left against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/green-bay-packers">Green Bay Packers</a> and Tennessee Titans.

On the other hand, the Patriots begin the 2023 NFL regular season on September 10 against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-eagles">Philadelphia Eagles</a> at home. So far, Mac Jones is the starting quarterback and no big changes are expected in the offensive line.

With Week 1 of the 2023 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season less than a month away from us, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots">New England Patriots</a> got their first taste of competition on Thursday night in a preseason game against the Houston Texans.



It was a 9-20 loss for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bill-belichick">Bill Belichick</a>’s team, which fielded a number of youngsters who are making their first steps in the league. Despite the loss, there was a rookie who stood out at the Gillette Stadium.



Malik Cunningham stole the show in Foxborough, playing both wide receiver and quarterback. In his lone drive under center, the Louisville product finished off a 14-play, 75-yard drive with a nine-yard rushing touchdown. After the game, he got recognition from Belichick.



<h2>Bill Belichick praises Malik Cunningham</h2>



“Yeah, did a nice job,” Belichick said of Cunningham’s performance as signal-caller, via ClutchPoints. “Showed some poise out there, some toughness. Moved the team. That was nice. Did a nice job.”



Belichick’s answers are usually short, but the fact that he gave Cunningham a pat on the shoulder speaks volumes. The coach has praised the 24-year-old’s effort to play at two positions.



“That’s his opportunity. He’s done a good job with it,” Belichick added. “He’s embraced it, he’s worked hard, he’s improved a lot as a receiver. Snaps he’s had at quarterback in practice and tonight, he’s done a pretty good job.”

Cunningham gave a lot to talk about with his drive as signal-caller, making everyone wonder how come he went undrafted this year. If Mac Jones or Bailey Zappe struggle throughout the year, Belichick may have an interesting alternative here.

NFL News: The Patriots rookie that drew praise from Bill Belichick - Bolavip US

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots">New England Patriots</a> are heading into the 2023 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season with plenty of question marks around them. Many things have been said about the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mac-jones">Mac Jones</a>-Bailey Zappe competition, the lack of top signings and even about Bill Belichick‘s job security.



The AFC East looks stacked this year, with the Bills, Dolphins and Jets all entering the new season with high aspirations. Many wonder whether the Patriots will be able to compete against these star-studded teams.



DeAndre Hopkins looked like the perfect target for New England to boost its offense, but the wideout chose Tennessee. However, it looks like Jones could still get another weapon before Week 1.



<h2>Rumor: Ezekiel Elliott is on the Patriots’ radar</h2>



(Via NESN)



“Boston Sports Journal’s Mike Giardi and Greg Bedard on Friday reported ‘there are several teams that remain in the mix’ for the former Dallas Cowboys star, “including the Patriots.



‘So what’s taking so long? Money,‘ Giardi and Bedard wrote. ‘Shocking, right? Zeke would like more of it. The teams interested in his services would prefer to pay the bare minimum, including one, I’m told, that wants to sign the veteran RB post-Week 1 so the contract is not guaranteed. So now Elliott waits.‘”

Ezekiel Elliott would be an interesting addition for an offense whose best options at the running back room currently are Rhamondre Stevenson and Ty Montgomery. The former Cowboys star is still out there, so it could be a great opportunity for the Patriots.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots">New England Patriots</a> seemed to be in pole position to land <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/deandre-hopkins">DeAndre Hopkins</a> this summer, but the wide receiver eventually chose the Tennessee Titans for the 2023 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season.



D-Hop had been on the market for months, since the Arizona Cardinals were willing to shop him before he became a free agent. But even when he was released, the Patriots didn’t do enough to get him.



Missing out on this opportunity was seen as a huge failure by Bill Belichick, as a player of Hopkins’ caliber could’ve been helpful for Mac Jones in his third year. However, it looks like the wideout felt he had a better chance to succeed in Tennessee.



<h2>Rumor: DeAndre Hopkins believes he can succeed in Tennessee</h2>



“All he wanted was for a place where he could go win,” NFL insider Ian Rapoport said, via NESN. “And the fact that he chose Tennessee — and it was essentially New England or Tennessee; the two places that at least he visited. 



“The fact that he chose Tennessee, and they were willing to pay him a salary that was I think more than commensurate with his abilities, where he is, is telling to me because he thinks the Titans are going to be good. They drafted a quarterback in Will Levis, obviously. Some people view this as sort of a team in transition. He views this as a team that can win. And that stands out to me.”

Other factors that may have influenced Hopkins’ decision was the lucrative deal the Titans offered him, or his relationship with head coach Mike Vrabel and offensive coordinator Tim Kelly. Either way, the Patriots will have to figure out how to bounce back from a disappointing year without D-Hop.

The Texans are not planning to use an experienced quarterback like Case Keenum in the preseason opener, as some had expected. Instead, their new head coach has a different plan in mind.

Last season, the Texans won only three games and lost 13. They don’t want that to happen again, and they believe that a new head coach and a new quarterback can help them improve.



<h2>Who will be the Houston Texans QB starter during the preseason opener?</h2>



According to NBC Sports and other sources, the Houston Texans will start rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud in the preseason opener against the New England Patriots. Stroud was drafted by the Texans with the second overall pick in the 2023 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL </a>Draft. The game will take place on August 10, 7:00 PM (ET) at Gillete Stadium.

During his college career at Ohio State, Stroud was a dominant quarterback with a winning record of 21-4. He completed 575 of 830 passes for 8,123 yards and 85 touchdowns with only 12 interceptions. Stroud is the Texans’ starting quarterback for the preseason opener, but the team also has Case Keenum and Davis Mills on the roster.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots">New England Patriots</a> want to leave behind the 2022 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL </a>season that was deemed a failure for them after closing that year with an 8-9 record and being the second time in three years that they have missed the postseason.



However, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bill-belichick">Bill Belichick</a> and the Patriots are ready to enter the 2023 season with a new strategy that will include new players and about a dozen drafted players. Most of the players selected in the draft are for the defensive line.



On the other hand, the Patriots are confident that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mac-jones">Mac Jones</a> could finally have his best season with the help of two new wide receivers joining a 10-player roster trying to make the 53-man roster.



<h2>Who is the New England Patriots rookie who recently surprised everyone during training camp?</h2>



According to sources and MLFootball, the Patriots new wide receiver Demario Douglas could be considered a “steal of the draft” because during training camp he has impressed the coaches thanks to his route running and other skills.

Douglas played for Liberty from 2019 to 2022. In 2023, he was drafted by the Patriots in the sixth round as the 210th pick. Douglas was born in Jacksonville, Florida, and is a relatively small player to play wide receiver at 5-foot-8 (173 cm).

Mac Jones&nbsp;will be the starting quarterback for the upcoming season and it might be his last shot. That’s why the&nbsp;Patriots&nbsp;are giving him all the possible tools to compete in a very tough AFC East.

<h2>Matthew Judon gets the money he asked with Patriots</h2>
