After seeing Mac and what he is capable. Do you think a variety of new plays will be opened this week? Maybe streching the field a bit more? Try new plays? Or do we stick on whats on the paper for now?
It wouldn’t surprise me if Josh McDaniels opens up the playbook a bit for Mac Jones in his second start. McDaniels and Jones both were relatively conservative in New England’s Week 1 loss to the Miami Dolphins — the latter ranked 26th among quarterbacks in average intended air yards, per NFL Next Gen Stats — but I liked what I saw from Jones in his few opportunities to attack downfield.
