What Red Sox Proved In Productive Road Trip Against Quality AL Talent

Does Drake Maye View Jacoby Brissett As Starter Entering Preseason Finale?
New England Patriots first-year head coach Jerod Mayo has done his best to try to make it seem like there's an ongoing quarterback competition between Jacoby Brissett and Drake Maye.

Why Patriots Opted For Recent Change To Mike Onwenu Duties

How Jerod Mayo Believes Patriots O-Line Has Responded To Blunt Criticism
Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo bluntly assessed New England's offensive line following the team's preseason loss to the Philadelphia Eagles last Thursday. "There were definitely some ups and downs," Mayo said after the loss. "I would say there's a dramatic drop-off, not really physically, but just knowing what to do between the first line and the second and third guys. They have to get better as a whole, as a unit. They just have to get better, and that comes from playing football games. We have another preseason game coming up. We're going to play. That's the only way you're going to get better at football is playing football."

No Big Deal To Drake Maye, But Patriots QB Saw Noteworthy Practice Change
Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo previously said it was "very important" for rookie quarterback Drake Maye to see snaps behind New England's starting offensive line. That development came Wednesday, according to multiple reporters at Gillette Stadium. The third overall pick didn't make a big deal about taking snaps from starting...
Celtics Star Jayson Tatum ‘More Motivated’ To Chase Banner 19
It's been over two months since the Boston Celtics clinched their franchise's 18th title, ended a 16-year championship drought and defeated arch nemesis Kyrie Irving and the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Finals. But despite it all, Jayson Tatum isn't content with reaching the top of the mountain just once.
NFL Producer Settles ‘Bust’ Takes For Patriots QB Drake Maye
Drake Maye may not be ready just yet to take the reigns for the New England Patriots. With that said, he's certainly taken steps forward during training camp.

Red Sox Notes: Ceddanne Rafaela Improvements Making Difference
The Red Sox haven't done Ceddanne Rafaela any favors during his rookie season, relying on him to play all over the place. Boston has deployed the 23-year-old at both shortstop and center field, the two most difficult positions in the sport. Rafaela has responded outstandingly, playing some of the best outfield defense in all of baseball while making steady strides in the infield.
Patriots Cut Veteran Expected To Compete For Roster Spot

Should Vikings Trade For Mac Jones? Narrative Grows As Ex-Patriot Impresses
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Mac Jones has looked like a much different player this preseason. The reasoning for that is multifold. Jones is playing for a better offensive coaching staff in Jacksonville than he was in recent seasons with the New England Patriots. The fourth-year signal-caller also seemed to benefit from a change of scenery given he's back in his hometown. And then there's the difference in defenses Jones has faced thus far -- no opponent is throwing their best stuff in preseason action.

Patriots Defender Catching Jerod Mayo’s Eye Before Roster Cuts
The Patriots will take a "by-committee" approach to replacing Christian Barmore. Barmore, who was diagnosed with blood clots in July, will be sidelined indefinitely -- if not for the entire season. The Patriots, who recognized the impact he can bring by inking him to a four-year contract extension this offseason, will miss him dearly and are expected to make some changes to their rotations in replacing the 25-year-old's production.
Why Ex-Patriot Expects To Get ‘Tired’ Of Tom Brady’s Broadcasting
Drew Bledsoe and Tom Brady haven't been teammates for a long time, but the former still never misses an opportunity to bust the latter's chops. Bledsoe was among Brady's colleagues who roasted the seven-time Super Bowl champion at the star-studded event in Los Angeles a few months ago. The 1993 No. 1 overall pick reached bag into his bag of Brady zingers Wednesday when he looked ahead to TB12's first season as FOX's lead NFL color commentator.
Jerod Mayo Offers Forthcoming Updates On Injured Patriots
The Patriots will make final roster decisions next week, as the NFL requires teams to cut down to 53 players by 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday.

Should Patriots Fans Believe Jerod Mayo’s QB Competition Remarks?
