FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Quick-hit thoughts and notes around the New England Patriots and NFL:
1. Weis loves Mac: The last thing former New England offensive coordinator Charlie Weis wants to do is preach to the Patriots about what they should do at quarterback this offseason. In his trademark blunt way, he characterized it this way: "I don't want to be one of those people telling them how they are dumbasses if they don't do that."
With that context, Weis, who coached in the team's first three Super Bowl championships, is high on Alabama's Mac Jones as a great fit.
