New England Patriots Insider Reveals Who’s Actually Calling The Team’s Offense Amid Their Dismal Preseason, Training Camp Showing

During the New England Patriots Training Camp struggles, a main storyline has been centered around who Bill Belichick has tabbed as his offensive play-caller following Josh McDaniels’ departure.

During their preseason games, it looked like the defensive-minded Matt Patricia was sharing duties with Joe Judge to call the offense, but now, a Patriots insider is revealing that it’s actually Patricia who will be calling the offense.

“Matt Patricia is calling the offense right now,” Tom Curran of NBC Sports Boston said during an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show”. “He kind of the overlord of the offense. We’ll see if he’s the offensive coordinator, but he’s the one who is playcalling.”

On Tuesday, reports out of Patriots Training Camp were that Mac Jones and the offense had their worst practice to date with the season right around the corner.

“The Pats’ offense has sounded like a complete dumpster fire all summer,” NFL reporter Matt Verderame said following a breakdown of everything that went wrong for Mac Jones and the Patriots offense Tuesday morning.

Despite the whole media circus centered around Matt Patricia and the Patriots offense, Mac Jones has continued to say all the right things about his new situation.

“I think obviously Coach Belichick’s done a great job kind of explaining exactly what we want to do as an offense, and Matty P has seen so many different defenses along with Coach Belichick, so it’s like they combine their knowledge of how to attack the defense,” Jones told reporters when asked about collaborating with Patricia on offense via CBS Sports.

“That’s something that’s really stood out to me. They’re great guys who, and Coach [Joe] Judge, they all bring this different energy to the room when they’re presenting. So, they all are trying to get us to work together and that’s the most important part, is we’re all on the same page regardless of who’s talking, who’s making the decision on a play or what not and it’s always an open conversation which I love.”

It’s looking like the Patriots offense could take a dramatic step in the wrong direction this season, and Bill Belichick will have no one to blame but himself if/when that occurs.
