New England Patriots General Thread

[Phall]

Gee, I don't recall seeing Weenieworld blurbs like this when the Patriots had an all-White o-line, Gronk, and a number of White receivers and running backs they "rescued" from the NFL trash heap. But don't worry, Mac Jones will take the blame if the Pats bomb this year, or maybe it will be attributed to the loss of Josh McDaniels. Even now they could have Andy Isabella for peanuts:

The Athletic's Chad Graff writes "the point of concern is nearing" for the Patriots offense after it has struggled badly throughout training camp.
"The running game struggled," Graff writes. "The receivers didn’t get open. The incompletions mounted." And the quarterbacks have been under constant pressure. With longtime OC Josh McDaniels gone, coach Bill Belichick has handed offensive coaching duties to ex-DC Matt Patricia and former special teams coach Joe Judge. Patricia is coaching the offensive line and calling the plays while Judge is handling Mac Jones and the quarterbacks. Just an utter nightmare. It's a big concern for Jones' development. This offense is completely devoid of playmakers, and the coaching sounds even worse.

Patricia is a former DC and Judge is a former special teams coach. Perhaps, just to spitball an idea here, they were not the best candidates for these roles. Maybe the genius Belichick should hire better-suited coaches instead of throwing lifelines to staffers from his failed coaching tree. Patricia and Judge would be better suited to coaching linebackers and safeties, respectively, but those roles are already being covered by Belichick's sons.

What better symbolizes the "new" Bill Belichick than signing this colossal bust, when players like Cole Beasley and Adam Humphries are sitting at home, and Andy Isabella can be obtained for a late round draft pick?

Patriots signed WR Laquon Treadwell to the practice squad.​

Treadwell, 27, was a certified bust as the No. 23 overall pick of the Vikings in 2016, but he posted his best pro season to date last year in Jacksonville, going 33-434-1 on 51 targets. He was among the Jaguars' 53-man roster cuts last week and will now try to earn a role in the New England wideout rotation over the next couple weeks while on the practice squad.

What?!?! Bill has lost it, completely.
