The last few years were rather painful for the New England Patriots. Former New England running back Damien Harris is putting much of the blame on legendary ex-coach Bill Belichick, especially regarding the foibles of former first-round bust Mac Jones.
During a recent episode of The Athletic Football Show, Harris discussed what went wrong during the late stages of the Patriots’ Belichick era. He didn’t mince his words, blaming Belichick, who amassed a questionable offensive staff after Jones’ rookie success in 2021. Hoo boy, that’s not necessarily a novel insight, but it remains wild to hear from someone like Harris who was actually there.
