Sloppy, undisciplined and completely unorganized—this hasn’t looked anything like the same New England Patriots team people remember. Some are preaching patience, while others are calling it exactly what it is with less than two weeks away from the regular season-opener: a complete mess.
Count three-time Super Bowl champion and former Patriots linebacker Ted Johnson among the latter.
Johnson was there when the “Patriot Way” was built and assembled from the ground up. He saw the pieces come together to form the greatest dynasty in NFL history.
But after seeing what they’ve suddenly morphed into, more than two years after Tom Brady announced he was taking his talents to Tampa Bay, is something unrecognizable.
