The call on Patriots’ preseason opener: There were too many voices

I wouldn’t go so far as to call the broadcast of the Patriots’ preseason opener Thursday night bad.

Devin and Jason McCourty are always welcome, informative presences, whether at their respective national gigs or getting on-air reps with the Patriots.

Paul Perillo and broadcasting novice Brian Hoyer (who is dabbling in media but not officially retired from football) had an easy rapport in the studio.

And Scott Zolak did a solid job as the de facto moderator, particularly given that the role of on-air traffic cop doesn’t really play to his strengths.
