year?
You know, got a bunch of guys, got to ask coach
Belichick, you know,
and who's your offensive coordinator or pass game coordinator
gas? Coach Belichick that. Okay,
fair enough. I thought that's what you say.
Nelson Aguilar regarding
the Patriots.
Yeah, it was with the Eagles. He had a solid single year with
the Raiders.
So solitary, the Patriots swooped in and grabbed him.
What do you expect from him out of here too.
I like Aguilar's game.
I do and I can I think that offense is just going to
continue to go in the upward direction.
We saw Mac Jones get, you know more comfortable as the year
went on
be a little more aggressive throwing the ball down
the football field. And again as Always heard me say Mike.
It's there was a lot of new pieces on that offense last
year with a rookie quarterback. And what you always hear me say
is that offense, ain't that easy to learn? So I think
between
hey, they got a new
few new pieces in there. The offensive line be a little bit
better and then hey we got you know a weapon or two that are
different with Mac Jones in your to
I think you're going to see an offense. That's a little less
conservative this year, a little more aggressive and and
Pie making it said Of being all about execution and not messing
the game up.
And
Matt Jones is going to be the key to whether to what extent,
the offense elevates here is a Galore
on the question of whether or not Mac Jones is going to be
a stronger quarterback in your to. Here's what Aguilar had to
say.
Yeah, I mean, he's definitely trained his but all
I can tell that and I see it every day when he comes in here.
No, he works his butt off. He's here every day, you know,
putting a comment and obviously when he throws the football do.
Football, well, really? Well, you know
in
I'm impressed with what he does every day how he works?
You know, one thing that were noticing this year and maybe
I've missed it in past years, but
the quarterback seemed to be
putting in a lot more
body work. Yeah, Joe burrow, when he showed up last week. He
looked he looked
right thicker and bigger and more muscular, right? And
you know, Zach Wilson,
bigger and thicker still looks like he's 12 but bigger and
thicker and more muscular Mac Jones. I was like, you know,
a little less doughy, right? A little more Russell Wilson,
throws The Pitch Out in Denver. We had the same observation,
right? You thought he look thicker.
Yeah, it's the time of the year where you do that you build
some armor because you're going to some, of its going to get
shaved off a little bit there. Your, you know, constant
running practicing, doing all of that, you know this time of
the year
and OTAs and the training sessions.
So I think that's part of it too.
And then I think really the other aspect of it is just that,
you know, not that the quarterback position as as
physical is when we grew up and everything but these
quarterbacks are running the ball more now to
to where I think it's got to be on their their radar. A little
to go. You know, what I could use a little armor on my arms
and my shoulders and my pecs. I'm gonna have to lower my
shoulder a few times every game
and get a first down or, you know, kind of get in the mosh
pit to a degree. I think there's there's that aspect
there and
yeah, hopefully, Mac Jones has, you know,
change his body a little bit to be a little less do it.
Yeah, and look you see the pads are only going to do so much.
I remember when Brett Favre lost like 20 pounds one-offs. Yeah,
right. And and and
it was harder for him to keep his streak. Going
your about the natural protection
of your internal organs
and the ligaments, and the bones and everything else. When
you have extra flesh, covering them, its natural padding for
your body and for the important things that allow you to keep
playing. And so there is a sweet spot that you want
to hit their, where you want to have enough.
You won't have enough that you're protected.
We don't have so much that you can't be constricted, right?
You don't want to be that. That's exactly right. And Matt
Jones. I think, you know, you brought up Joe burrow and
that's kind of where I wanted to go
with Mac Jones, you know, after your one, we went with Joe
Borough. Hey, you know, it was really good. I mean, you could
see he's a natural. I wish you. And you might remember me
saying this, I kept going. I wish he would just throw with
a little more power.
I wish he could just get a few more,
you know, RPMs on the ball.
Give it to take his game to the next level. And then we got to
the training camp. Remember, that's all he would talk about
it. I worked on throwing the ball harder and, you know,
being a little more explosive, throwing the ball.
I have the same feeling with Mac Jones. It was a phenomenal
first year to be there in New England and do what he did. But
if I had one thing that I would take away and I may be even
more than Joe burrow here. I would just go
man. It's we got a little more pep on the ball a little bit
more.
Like we got to put the ball into some tighter windows and
it can't always be about timing. And Rhythm and all
the time, you know, it's just the game's not always like that.
That would be my one thing. I think he needs to
adjust and hopefully that does happen for his sake. In
the Patriots.
He really has changed his overall. Look remember one of
the criticisms of him coming out in the draft. And I don't
know if it was a an Alabama equipment manager issue. He
just never looked like his uniform fit him. Right? Right.
He just he didn't have the look of a quarterback. And then all
of a sudden all of a sudden, it's like Superman dropped out
of the sky in New England.
You look good looks good. I hate really look. He looked he
it was a completely different vibe. It was a completely
different look. And
that was before they got rid of Cam Newton super, they had
Superman and they put Mac Jones in the Superman suit and
decided they didn't need Cam Newton anymore. So we'll see
what he can do
moving to year.
