FOXBORO — Matt Patricia referred to as offensive performs throughout each Patriots preseason sport.
He was the one coach to name offensive performs throughout the preseason video games Mac Jones performed. And after the Pats’ 20-10 win over the Panthers, Jones stated he hopes to develop with Patricia as a play-caller/quarterback duo for a very long time.
So, Patricia will name performs when the Pats open their common season at Miami on Sept. 11. Right?
“That was just the preseason. We’ll see what happens as we get towards the regular season as we go forward,” Patricia advised reporters Monday. “Right now, I’m just focused on today.”
Cat-and-mouse video games with the general public over play-calling is nothing new for the Patriots, who’ve rebuffed questions on Josh McDaniels’ game-day successor relationship again to the spring.
Three years in the past, Pats coaches additionally deflected when it was unclear who would exchange Brian Flores as their defensive play-caller. Inside linebackers coach Jerod Mayo referred to as performs in minicamp, then there was a division of duties early within the season and outdoors linebackers coach Steve Belichick took over for the remainder of the 12 months. During that season, Bill Belichick inserted himself for at the very least one stretch — the ultimate sequence of an in depth Week 4 win at Buffalo — earlier than yielding play-calling completely.
It’s unclear if the elder Belichick will contain once more, or if quarterbacks coach Joe Judge may have a say (Judge referred to as performs throughout the preseason opener). In the meantime, each of them, and Patricia, proceed to be tight-lipped about who will maintain the reins of the brand new offense in subsequent week’s season opener.
