Scarnecchia explains why Patriots need to play Drake Maye this season originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
The New England Patriots' biggest issue through three games is the play of their offensive line.
Few are more aware of that fact than Patriots Hall of Famer and legendary assistant coach Dante Scarnecchia, who coached the Patriots' offensive line for more than two decades and has been watching from afar since retiring in 2020.
But even though poor offensive line play runs the risk of ruining a young quarterback (see: Mac Jones in 2022 and 2023), Scarnecchia believes New England needs to hand rookie Drake Maye the reins at some point this season.
