Happy Friday, friends. It’s time for another New England Patriots mailbag.
Without further ado:

Do you think we will see McDaniels be a bit more expansive in plus territory this week? We seem ultra conservative thus far.
I think the complaints about Josh McDaniels’ conservative play-calling have been slightly overblown so far, especially after seeing All-22 footage of Mac Jones passing up a few shots to open receivers downfield. Personally, I’d rather have a rookie QB — especially one this early in his career — who averages 6.8 yards per attempt but doesn’t throw interceptions than one who keeps bombing it into double coverage.
