The Patriots defense had the upper hand at the beginning of practice on Friday, when the offense took a run-heavy approach.
They were able to blow things up in the backfield consistently and put pressure on Drake Maye and Jacoby Brissett as they worked on their play-action game.
But, the offense gradually began to air the ball out and that’s when Maye and Brissett were able to shine. They each went 4-5 in red zone sessions, and had an overall strong showing in team scrimmages.
Demario Douglas was making catches all over the field.
