Tom E Curran called out Hart for his offensive line take. What can we expect from the unit this season? What can we expect from Garrett Bradbury? Hart has noticed a lot of dropped snaps. Is that a Drake Maye problem? Why did Morgan Moses walk off the field today? Hart starts off the show on a heater. He has been at Pats training camp every year from 2001 onward. Wrongheadedness radio! Mike Vrabel gives a good review of Drake Maye, but he has NOT looked good in 11 on 11 so far. He looked worse in 7 on 7. Kyle Williams dropped a perfect pass as well. He is very gifted as an athlete, but he has to be better. You do not win in the NFL with flashy plays, you win with the basics. He has to be a good pocket passer to succeed! He knows he is not good in the pocket, the evidence is there. Did the Red Sox get screwed by circumstance last night? Is there anything they could have done to avoid this situation? Poor Jordan Hicks.
