New England is installing a new offense and the results haven’t been pretty in training camp.

Patricia has been relaying plays to quarterback Mac Jones early in camp, but said not to read too much into that.

Tyquan Thornton and Marcus Jones are trying to focus on their games and not get too overwhelmed by their first NFL training camp.

Smith had just 28 catches for 295 yards and one touchdown in his first season with New England.

“It feels natural. It feels like home. It’s is home,” says Malcolm Butler, who played played for the Patriots in the 1017 season.

The Patriots do not have an offensive coordinator, instead sharing the duties among three coaches as the team moves on from Josh McDaniels.

Belichick is confident his second-year quarterback has made significant progress.

David Andrews, James White and three others won’t be ready for the start of training camp next week.

New England has overhauled the position through a mix of throwback veterans and younger, smaller players.

New England, based on roster moves and different coaches now on staff, could move toward more of a zone running style.
