3 of 10, 3 sacks/pressure in next team period working on 2nd and 3rd and long. Gains are minimal quick flat passes.

Just awful football.

3 of 6, INT, scramble. Minimal gains. Killing it in the flats

A thought after watching the Patriots offense look efficient in 7-on-7 but struggle notably in multiple 11-on-11s: Might be time to give Dante Scarnecchia a call for an independent evaluation.

Patriots defense is running roughshod over the offense. Highlights for that side were “sacks” by Christian Barmore and Matt Judon during a third-down period.

Offense looks broken. Can’t protect. Losing 1-on-1s. Blitzes getting through. No run game. Miscommunication on routes.

Patriots No. 1 offense today has been distressingly bad. Run stuffs. Aborted plays. Would-be sacks. Distress lobs into traffic just to get ball out. Beginning to feel it’s less the new offense and more the post-Scar cycle of OL coaches. They are perpetually overwhelmed.

To clarify, this isn't all on Mac. Blocking has been poor (they haven't been able to run the ball a lick in camp) and last night, there were a number of times Mac had to hold because receivers weren't open. Not a wonderful combination... https://t.co/LDqnDIaaW8

Observations from #Patriots practice.
1. After 2 days off the field, the very first rep of 11-on-11, first team vs first team, left tackle Trent Brown got hit with a false start and was sent on a lap. That foreshadowed another rough day for the offense.

Sheesh. Can you give em a second guys? You’ve got a second year QB, a offensive coordinator with out the title who has no recognizable experience coaching offensive who also is in charge of the offensive line. Surprisingly the most dysfunctional part of the offense. Patricia may have failed in historic fashion in Detroit, but that was as a Head Coach. He has yet to completely eat shit as an OC. Plus the #2 man on offense need some seasoning as well. He’s never invited back in the state of NY and the last time he had success as a coach he was whippin’ out the tape measure for Ryan Allen punts.

The point is these guys just need some time, ya know. Play it looks like things are already getting better.

A better day for the #Patriots offense. Arguably their best of camp. Nothing crazy but it looked like more of a fluid operation. Less errors.

Offense was much more crisp at points today after a week of spinning it’s wheels. Running game looked better. A scrap between David Andrews and Christian Barnore and a number of wideout drops were mixed in. But higher level of offensive competency is the headline.

Progress for the Patriots offense today. Progress for the offensive line. (Yodny Cajuste in for Justin Herron helped.) They could protect at a reasonable level. There were holes to run through. Quick-hitting passing had its moments. Best day for the “O” since padless first week.

— Phil Perry (@PhilAPerry) August 9, 2022

No all-out competitive periods today but offense looked competent. They seemed to dial things back a bit, simplified. Extended period where the OL just worked on sorting out pass pro. A needed step back. Andrews and Barmore booted for fighting

All you can ask for is improvement. I put no stock in the fact Belichick is too afraid to throw is starters out there tonight in the first preseason game in fear of completely losing the locker room. It’s a long season. Marathon. Not a sprint. Rest up, you world class athletes with a combined GDP of a small nation. You’ve earned it.
