Bill O’Brien came back with me New England needs to create a better version of MacJones as a quarterback and be able to participate in the AFC That is one of the most difficult divisions in the NFL.
After a season to forget, Bill Belichick He has decided to stop experimenting and put in a real offensive coordinator. Bill O’Brien arrives to restore order, and the Patriots will certainly see improvement immediately, perhaps in their best form since the departure of Tom Brady, although it will be difficult for them to fight for the AFC East.
“It’s an odd case of New England 2023; on paper, it looks like the best team they had in the post-Brady era, but because of their rivals, they may still be the worst in their division,” said W Sports analyst Pete Dominguez.
And it’s true, even though New England is the most winning team in the entire NFL, it’s no longer the scariest in the Eastern Division, where the Bills and Dolphins have improved remarkably and now, with the introduction of Aaron Rodgers, Come on, jets! They also sign up to fight for the throne.
Boston’s team hasn’t really changed much. Mac Jones stays behind the wheel during the race. Rhamondre Stevenson It will continue to be the most dangerous weapon, and they still lack a star receiver. This year, however, they will not only have a true offensive coordinator but also one of the most well-known, in O’Brien.
“Offensively, the team can’t be worse than last year (I hope). Following the disaster between Matt Patricia and Joe Judge as offensive coordinators, Bill O’Brien returns to the role that propelled him to the top of the NFL more than 10 years ago.” “Under his leadership (2008–2011), the Patriots had one of the best offensive seasons in years,” said the NFL columnist.
“The hope is that O’Brien can realign the career of Mac Jones, who, after a very good year as a rookie, has suffered in his sophomore year and in 2023 faces the uncertainty of being the future QB for the franchise. In support.” Mac boosted his receivers with TE Mike Gesicki and WR JuJu Smith-Schuster. The key point guard, however, will be Rhamondre Stevenson, who could establish himself as one of the top five running backs in the NFL in his sophomore year in the league.
If there’s something that got the Patriots buzzing in key games like against Miami and Pittsburgh last season, it’s the strength of their defense.
The Foxborough defensive line has been the eighth-best in the league and could easily cement themselves in the top five this year with the great pairing they have in the trenches.
“The formula for the season is very clear to Belichick: top defense and an offense that can keep the team competitive. Never underestimate Bill’s intelligence, but still, given the artillery of his divisional rivals and his conference, the prospects are not very encouraging.”
“All of this amid rumors suggesting it could be Belichik’s final season with New England,” concluded Dominguez.
