This is the second article analyzing the team’s performance and the future of the personnel. The Offensive Line will come into focus in this piece.
The Offensive Line was truly offensive. Right from the start of camp, it was apparent they were not getting the new blocking scheme. Part of the new offense was running the stretch runs that the Shanahan offense utilizes. That takes special personnel that can execute those moves. It also requires someone that has intricate knowledge of executing those plays. The Patriots’ Offensive coaches (Patricia and Judge) failed to teach this. Patricia in particular was at fault for spending too much time with Mac Jones and ignoring the Offensive Line.
