Although Drake Maye is the tip of the iceberg, the #Patriots offense has no A.J. Brown, no run game (last in success rate), a backup at RG. There's a lot to fix, including Maye, with this group.
+Maye film breakdown, quick-hit film notes, etc.

Not to defend Drake Maye (a new worst grade), but the pressure allowed by the Patriots in this game was much higher than I originally thought (56.4%). Unacceptable.
RG (Van Roten, Rouse) was awful. Caleb Lomu (xTE, RT) wasn't much better. Same with Morgan Moses.
C, LG and LT were 👍
And we need to have a Hunter Henry discussion tomorrow on @FelgerAndMazz
“100% Confirmed” - Did They ACTUALLY Just Find Noah’s Ark?
Recent articles are claiming researchers have discovered the remains of Noah’s Ark with 100% certainty. Today, I respond to these claims and examine the evidence they came across.
The Patriots allowed 14 pressures yesterday, per PFF. Ten of those came from the right side.
RG Walter Rouse: 4
RT Morgan Moses: 3
RT Caleb Lomu: 2
RG Greg Van Roten: 1
RB Rhamondre Stevenson: 1
TE Hunter Henry: 1
LT Will Campbell: 1
LG Alijah Vera-Tucker: 0
C Jared Wilson: 0
C Ben Brown: 0
The Patriots will get back A.J. Brown
The Patriots will get back Craig Woodson
The Patriots will get back Dre'Mont Jones
The Patriots will get back Harold Landry III
The Patriots will get back Marcus Bryant
The Patriots will get back Quintayvious Hutchins
They will improve.
Here are Drake Maye's 6 interceptions. There's a pattern.
Good news: it's not mechanical/footwork.
Bad news: it's all bad decisions. The fix is between the ears.
"We need to stop trying to choke the life out of every single play. We need to relax,” MIke Vrabel told @WEEI.
The Patriots' sixth play of the game (3rd & 9) shows multiple problems at play with the entire offense.
Moses probably needs chip help from Henry with Dennis Gardeck in a wide 9. Then Henry and Douglas end up standing right next to each amid 3 defenders. Play has no chance.
3 thoughts up front after NE-JAX review:
1⃣ Looked like right tackle Morgan Moses was significantly affected by foot injury; started with 2nd play, hobbling other times
2⃣ Pad level of DTs often too high, which led to Jaguars controlling LOS
3⃣ LT Will Campbell: bright spot
Maye's second INT, kind of fascinating. Safety (27) is presumably responsible for that deep half, but he's locked in on Pop Douglas in the seam.
Using Kyle Williams for anything other than a go route might be malpractice, but especially with no safety help. This route STINKS.
The Patriots’ wide receivers have forced zero missed tackles through three games this season.
They are the second-slowest WR corps in the NFL per Next Gen Stats.
BAD job by me, maybe you too, but I didn't recognize the first-and-30 Chism double pass was supposed to come back across the field to TreVeyon Henderson.
He would have had the blocking for a massive gain, probably a TD, but Hunter Henry blew his block.
Impressive "ghost" rush here by #Patriots OLB Elijah Ponder to dip underneath the right tackle.
Bend+balance here is sick. Forces Lawrence to step up into the sack.
If you're looking for silver linings, #Patriots second-rounder Gabe Jacas might be a demon.
Give him some 1-on-1 pass rush moves and we'll really be cooking.
