The Patriots’ burgeoning quarterback competition appeared to take another turn Wednesday, with Cam Newton struggling after a big Tuesday performance and Mac Jones rebounding from arguably his worst practice yet.
Offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels sees what everyone else watching the Patriots practice sees, of course. He knew what went wrong on Newton’s two practice interceptions and Jones’s multiple interceptable balls on Wednesday on a fundamental level, and he knows what goes right on their best completions.
But the man who runs the Patriots offense isn’t worried about the training camp practice box score. Well, not that much — “I know how many completions and incompletions we have because I am an offensive coach,” he told reporters after Wednesday’s half-padded session.
