With Josh McDaniels no longer in the fold, the New England Patriots have taken an unorthodox approach with their offense heading into the 2022 NFL season.
Rather than let Mac Jones audible out of plays at the line of scrimmage, Bill Belichick and Co. have directed the offense to run the plays as called regardless of the defensive look. As a result, the offense has struggled throughout training camp and the preseason.
Former NFL guard Pete Kendall believes while it may not be a popular strategy, there's a method to the Patriots' madness.
