Brutal day for the offense,\u201d\u00a0Ben Volin of The Boston Globe said.\u00a0\u201cPoor blocking and poor execution by Maye and the receivers. Vrabel was visibly unhappy after an apparent delay of game penalty.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The Patriots\u2019 offense has a plethora of new pieces and a young quarterback who is still developing, so there are going to be some growing pains. Additionally, the unit underwent a major coaching change this offseason with Josh McDaniels returning as offensive coordinator\u00a0after a short stint as Las Vegas Raiders\u2019 head coach.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>However, the talent is there for the offense to be productive in 2025. The offensive line should be improved with the additions of Will Campbell and Jared Wilson in the draft. The wide receiver room should also be solid if prized free agent signing Stefon Diggs can\u00a0rebound from a torn ACL that cut his 2024 season short.<br \/>\nObviously, the performance of the offense is going to heavily rely on second-year quarterback Drake Maye. The 2024 No.3 overall pick showed some promise during his rookie campaign, but he will need to be even better for New England to have a chance at the playoffs this season.<\/p>\n<p>Despite a rough day at the office on Monday, there shouldn\u2019t be any panic about McDaniel\u2019s offense. The group has the potential to be a high-powered offense this year, but it\u2019s going to take some time for everyone to get on the same page.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Credit: Eric Canha-Imagn Images The New England Patriots are back on the practice field this week after\u00a0tallying an impressive 48-18 preseason win over the Washington Commanders.\u00a0The team&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":88610,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-88609","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
