How to (completely) burn your offense to the ground. 

What are some areas of football you feel like you wish you knew more about, and struggle to find good information on? I remember early on for me it was things like how tf are receivers getting covered by LB

I’m truly shocked by the Patriots offense last year. Who would have though having guys who’ve never run an offense calling plays would be so disastrous!?

I thought we'd be fine heading into the year because we had some solid players(albeit not elite.) But I should've seen a disastrous offense coming. Mac isn't blameless but the whole O took a step back and as the season went on you could tell it was Matt Patt holding back the team. I'm just glad that fraud Fatty P is gone and we got a real OC. I actually have hope this year in Mac and the whole offense since BOB is a real OC and we made some nice additions like Juju, Gesicki, and Boutte.

Patricia did his job as a defensive guy, he made the offense really easy for the defense to handle.

As a SF fan, do you view Mac Jones pretty similar to Brock Purdy? With just enough arm to get by, just enough mobility to get by, and succeed with their football IQ? And realistically both need a strong team around them to succeed?

first step in all this, have matt patricia anywhere near any nfl team at all

As Tom Grossi said we'll have a super defense but we'll win the games 3 - 0 🤣 If we use the rookie kicker that could change

We hsve arguably the worse QB in the division. It's really weird Pats fans hsve such faith in the guy too. Delusional.

Rule #1: *NEVER* ever hire a DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR to be your team’s offensive coordinator!

Still can't believe they tried to sabotage Mac like that

More on Mac Jones when the season starts highlighting how different the offense is compared to last year❤❤

I never blamed Mac, bill O’Brien will absolutely help him. Pats will be back. You showed it in this video. Patricia was playing checkers. I can’t believe Belli even gave him the position after his run in Detroit.

Mattyp had jonnu run into hunter Henry and literally took him out of the game. The last game of the season McCorkle was 9/9 100 yards 1td on play action plays alone and 2tds in the first half against Buffalo. Then mattyp ran out of plays. MattyP has zero understanding of how an offense is run in terms of concepts, spacing, and situations.

I still to this day don't understand why Patricia saw a line with a 370+ pound tackle, a 350+ right guard, a hyper athletic rookie left guard (9.95 RAS Score!) that's perfect for pulling and thought, "Yeah, zone seems like the right choice for us." They would've been leaps and bounds more successful had they kept Trent on the right side and ran directly behind him and Onwenu every play

There is a nonzero chance that the Patriots did this because they expected Josh McDaniels to be fired after one year and return as OC.

Good shit man. This video rocks. Highly knowledgeable stuff, good analysis and I even learned sumn with the 2i adjustment to help beat zone runs. Keep up the good work!!🏈🔥

Last year I knew they were screw ed from the start with Judge and Patricia. The reports out of mini-camp and from pre-season were baaaad. Then I got to see it twice in person at home in NE against the Jets and Dolphins. Defense and Marcus Jones were awesome though. Judo’s taking time to play catch with us during warmups… Wise signing my jersey… Slater stopping in and signing my kids stuff his almost last home game… All class acts!

Matt Patricia is me in madden ngl

⁠ *You’ll definitely see a dramatic shift in Mac this season. BOB’S passing offense is better suited for somebody like Mac, not to mention the weapons he has around him are far better than what he had his rookie season. Patriots we’re 27th in 3rd down conversion and LAST PLACE in RedZone efficiency. Even if they improve to middle of the road that’s a MASSIVE improvement. Mac will never be a 40+touchdown guy consistently, but he’s smart and accurate and finally has a real offensive coach again.*

Mac is going to surprise a lot of people this season working with BoB.

Matt Patricia is the worst OC in the 21st century

MAC F'N JONES is going to light it up this year!

Behind the scenes Bill could have been working on getting BillyO out of his contract, or bringing in somebody else, and got caught holding the bag of nothing. We shouldn't just assume that Bill thought this was a jolly-good idea. He will never reveal it to us, but I'm guessing he was onto somebody else before calling Patricia. But who knows? I just can't believe Bill got stupid over night.

Have we ever actually gotten an explanation why Belichek thought Patricia would actually work as OC?

I’m somewhat of a Bill apologist, but I have to say, if my boss let me down with managerial decisions THAT BAD, I would be gone the next year. If you call it anything less than an absolute lack of judgement as an HC, you’re kidding yourself

I never understood why Patricia still has a job in the NFL. The guy has never been successful anywhere he is been. Everybody knows that when he called the defense for New England back in the day that it was all Bill Belichick.

That Vikings game told me all I need to know about mac he can cook give him a o line and some receivers that can actually catch he’ll put the ball where it needs to go you saw it his rookie season and you’ll see it this season

Bellichick ego finally got too big and bit him in the ass .. "im Bellichick. I dont need specialists"

gREAT VIDEO aLEX. wAS WONDERING WTF WAS GOING ON THERE. iT ALL LEADS TO ANOTHER QUESTION ; (caps) What in the world was Belichick thinking? I mean I get the loyalty and friendship of taking Patricia back after the Detroit debacle but why put him in such a weird place. Over the decades my pseudo hate for the Patriots turned into reluctant respect cause Belichick was just so damn consistantly good. Dare we say Belichick is slipping? Seriously, wtf is going on there?

Mac Jones is more the next coming of Andrew Luck than anything imo

It’s all Patricia’s fault fs, idk why u would put him in the offensive room

Matt Patricia might have been the worst offensive playcaller in the history of the nfl... yet they still went 8-9 thanks to mac and the defense. People are writing them off, but they are not prepared for how good the patriots can be next year.

Bill and Mac are looking at the game differently. Belichick still has this idea that anyone can be Brady and Mac wants to go back to being the star kid he was in Alabama he wants to go back to passing for more than 60 yards and explosive plays. And of course Matt Patricia is the biggest trickster ever posing as a coach it's just pathetic

Their OC is like a fan who sees cool plays and tries to do them but has no knowledge of how to coordinate properly

Shanahan does it the best.

Matt Canada: 👀

As a Lions fan, I will NEVER understand why Patricia keeps getting hired. NEVER.

I will never forget the Red Zone against Las Vegas: 6 plays, 2 TDs(!) called back, settled for FG.

Vikings next please 🙏

Plot twist: Bill Belichick made Matt Patricia his offensive coordinator knowing the offense would be horrendous so they would tank for better draft picks.. while not making it look obvious that he was intentionally tanking.. it’s indirect tanking.. Bill Belichick still playing chess while everyone is playing checkers..

Idk why bill keeps giving his friends jobs when they suck. Lol find a good Offensive coordinator not Patricia… clearly we all know who is the problem

Don’t worry y’all Juju will fix this (I’m being sarcastic)

"he needs a detailed oriented structure.." Literally every QB in the league. This perception that "talent" overcomes poor offensive coaching, design or poor skill position talent is, well, completely wrong. But somehow it's become accepted in football analysis as a kind of truism. But look at the history of the NFL and it's never been true, not today, not ever. The Bills lack of a true #2 receiver hurt them last year; Allen's immense talent wasn't able to 'overcome' that. Herbert is the most talented QB in the league and he hasn't been able to overcome bad offensive coaching and slow receivers. Mahomes is playing the single most detail oriented offense in the league, but he is dependent on the bread and butter of that offense being effective; when is the defense had the jump on Reid's game plan, but Mahomes overcame that to win a shootout anyway? The only QB, maybe ever, good enough to elevate a team to victory consistently despite fundamental offensive flaws is Brady. That's the list, and even then we saw the limits of that last year when the only time that offense functioned properly was when he kicked the OC to the curb and ran the hurry up, calling plays from the line.

Damn this should’ve been about Josh Allen leading the league in turnovers. Should be since he had 14ints and 5 fumbles but y’all think it was Dak.

Not a damn thing to do with Mac. Patriots mishandled there first round Quarterback. Rookie year he showed a lot of promise. Then loose offensive coordinator and have some non offensive minded person running the offense 🤯. So this year he will be back in a system he can succeed.

Why in hell is Patricia even still have a job anywhere in the NFL? Dude cant oversee an Arby's let alone coach anything in the NFL.

yeah the switch upfront depicts the entirely of what the whole offense looks like. them switching the blocking scheme to a zone scheme completely ruined everything. They definitely didn’t have the guys needed for that type of blocking scheme. I mean come on you have trent brown for crying out loud.

I mean, you answered your question in the first sentence of the description: "Matt Patricia took over."

How Patricia keeps getting jobs is one of the great mysteries of the last decade.

Patricia is a bad coordinator and has been most of his career. Putting him in charge of his new QB was one of Bill’s biggest gaffes.

What i don't get is why they wanted to give up on our scheme to tout McKay whom we bitched in a Superbowl laugher

As a jets fan it was nice to see the pats kinda crumble but at the same time it was a clown show. i don’t think mac is a bad QB but the ineptitude on the offensive side shown by the coaches was terrible. Billy O is by no mean a coaching genius but he should be able to get mac goin again

And yet the talking heads are still trying to blame mac for the problems.

Belichick has had moments where he’s shown he’s the best coach of all time.. and the worst gm of all time

What is the point of beating a dead horse? They have a new OC and a new offensive line coach so what is the relevance?

Watching the qb school teaches you that everything this guy says is wrong

if Matt had a pencil that could write on lamented paper he could have made changes during the game

I saw a lot of mac Jones hate that should have been directed at the oc. I'll try to give more of the benefit of the doubt

From Corey Dillon to Blount Force Trauma We are a power run game…. Always have been💯

Dude .. just like “Herbert is thenext big bust” right? 😂

pats need to get rid of mac jones and get better wr and some reall dbs and lb they will start winning gain after that

You want to see an offense burned to the ground? Hire Matt Canada as OC

Just look at how the lions offense was ran when he was there. Just a different uniform with the same result.

Nah that coaching has to be the worst of all time and the fact that the OC was a DC baffles me

This was a huge surprise after how well he did in Detroit

Man, I don't want Patricia in Philly :///

This is depressing to watch, what a waste of a season that was

*laughs and cries in Detroit*

Patricia and Judge need to be fired.

yall really gotta get over the patriots last year lol

step one: draft mac jones

I agree that Patricia was a disaster. But the players deserve alot of blame as well. The Big Post you pointed out is a good example. You're right, that's a pre snap alert. Bears look to be playing Quarters. I know pre snap Mac wouldn't know that for sure but their alignment pre snap vs that formation screams Quarters. Plus knowing their DC. Mac should've threw the alert. Now maybe having some speed at X would help, and maybe that's where Patricia comes back into play, but it was a mess all around

I'm reminded of the baffling 2021 Bears offense, except worse in some ways.

It's crazy because everyone knew bringing in Matt Patricia to replace Josh McDaniels was a terrible idea, and the only one in the state of Massachusetts that thought it was clever was Bill Belichick

I mean I knew they were going to regress in Mac Jones second year because the Patriots played a wet paper bag strength schedule his rookie year but this past season was just sheer incompetence on Belichick’s part. The Patriots 2022 offseason should be forever enshrined in Canton as a shining monument to football stupidity.

As a Lions fan for over two decades, nothing can compare to the ineptitude of the Matt Patricia era. He amazingly took a consistent 9-10 win football team and made them the worst unit in the league. Everything that Matt Patricia touches turns to garbage.

I don’t understand how Patricia keeps getting chances to coach at this level. This video aside, the way his time in Detroit panned out (on and off the field) should be sufficient to oust him right?

One question I have is the major responsibilities of each of the linebackers. Like the Mike and will like what’s the major differences and what do coach’s look for in these spots specifically

this is a great video but its extremely frustrating to watch as well. i think we all get lulled in to silently trusting every decision that an NFL team makes, but there are always a lot of headscratchers that make you wonder whether they're rly doing their homework. idk what convinced Belichick that Patricia was the answer for the offense. if he wants to have Patricia be an advisor to the defense then whatever, but dont try to stuff a square peg into a round hole. the Pats offense should improve past the point of being anemic, but now the schedule is absolutely brutal for this season and there arent any players on the Pats offense that are keeping defensive coordinators up at night. i dont question Belichick as a coach, but i would definitely question Belichick as an acting GM. we'll see what this season brings on the field

Great analysis until the last two minutes. Your description of what Mac Jones needs to be a good Qb is really what all but the best 5 to 7 QBs need to be good.

When I saw that the Pats didn’t have an actual OC, I tried to warn people about it, but they didn’t listen to me. Not like I was the first person to notice it, but I saw that it was very concerning and I had to bring it to attention. I was happy to see my Bears win vs the Pats on national TV, which was nice for me to see as a Bears fan.

Lol 😂 “not 4.28 speed” haha I don’t know why that made me laugh as hard as it did. Praying the pats have a good year.

Third

Before the Pats, I had never EVER heard of a defensive coordinator becoming the teams offensive coordinator. Brain dead move

Great Video

5:44 …right?

What a shame

Kendall Vindur? 😂😂

In your opinion who are the top 3 O-lines?

Now with Bill O'Brien back, we'll be ok

I would be so pissed if I were set up to fail like that 2:43.

Im really excited for the patriots this season

Bill rolling his eyes while wearing all of his rings

"We can be cool kids too" 😂🤣

I still love my pats❤️💙

Mac won't ever be an all pro, but I think he can be a reliable quarterback for years to come. With a solid offense and a elite defense, the patriots can win with him under center.

What if Bill didn’t sign an OC just to have the offense deal with adversity for a year

I think it's time that we addressed Bill Belichick's deficiencies instead of just calling him the GOAT off rip. Belichick is good at: - defensive coaching - scheming around player talent on defense - team management - a certain kind of player motivation Belichick is bad at: - offensive scheming - drafting - being a GM

I thought having a defensive coordinator as an OC would work because a defensive coordinator knows how to stop offensive plays so he would just pick the opposite offensive plays to beat defenses

I would never want a spoiled rich kid named McCorkle as a starting QB for my team.
