‘I think we’re close’: Mac Jones sees Patriots offense making progress as preseason approaches

One day after David Andrews pulled the sputtering Patriots offense together for a lengthy post-practice huddle, quarterback Mac Jones said he sees the team making a lot of progress.

After Tuesday’s practice — with the preseason opener against the Giants looming on Thursday — Jones told reporters the Patriots know implementing their system requires “time and patience.”

“I think we’re close on a lot of things,” Jones said. “It’s just that two percent that we need to fix.”

At times this preseason, reporters have noted that Jones appears to be under pressure often — either because his offensive line collapsed or because his receivers can’t get open.
