Patriots Stockpiling Experience
The Post-Belichick Era is here, and the Patriots are going all-in on proven coaching experience. Mike Vrabel, Josh McDaniels, and Terrell Williams lead a stacked staff featuring Doug Marrone, Thomas Brown, and multiple Vrabel connections. But is McDaniels the right move, or just Kraft forcing another "loyal guy" back into the mix?
🔹 Key Additions:
Mike Vrabel brings a no-nonsense, player-first mentality.
McDaniels is back—was he a prerequisite for the job?
Terrell Williams leading a defensive overhaul.
Buh-Bye Brian Belichick—time for real defensive coaching.
🔹 Defensive Changes:
For the first time since Pete Carroll, the Patriots are moving away from the Belichickian two-gap defense. Expect a more aggressive, one-gap, attack-style 4-3 under. Smaller, faster linebackers will replace the old-school, big-bodied style. Players like Keion White and Christian Barmore could thrive, but will New England find a true edge rusher?
Chiefs vs. Eagles Super Bowl Rematch
Did the Bills choke? Were the Commanders even ready for this stage? And is it finally time for Jalen Hurts to silence the doubters? Dr. Big Mac and Chief Bobby break down the conference championship games and give their early Super Bowl thoughts.
