Is there NOTHING leaking out?
 
I heard someone say that someone who knows told them that there is nothing leaking out.

I've spoken to Mike Reiss and 3 others within Gillette. Mike can't get anything, even off the record. First year since he's been covering the Patriots that he hasn't received tidbits.
The others say they are no longer hearing info beyond their realm. Everyone within the org is closed mouth with those outside their particular sphere of responsibility. In a way it's exciting to hear but otoh it makes things dull for those wanting to hear news, including the media.

Oh shit. This type of closed mouth information suppression must mean only one thing:

Billy O’Brien is installing the Wing-T.
 
According to report Cunningham took all snaps at QB. He needs a strong camp to be 3rd string QB. I could see him being used on trick plays. Prepare the Defense for Moblie QBs. Something they had a big issue defending last season.

I know we always get excited with a new season on the horizon, but this time it's a bit different.

It really seems like the team could be at the start of something. In TC last season, we all could see the news and vibes were not good when the offense was on the field. The media were clear with what they saw, and it wasn't good, and they were right.

I think BoB is in a no-lose scenario frankly. He's come in to the worst-coached offense in football and it seems virtually impossible that the offense won't significantly improve next season. The offense can only improve and BoB will end up looking like a genius. Mac looks primed, he seems to be working his backside off and I can imagine he has a huge chip on his shoulder now and is desperate to show that last year was a total anomaly. He' has been given some very good weapons and with BoB finally, we will have proper two-TE plays. Allied to Mondre who is a beast, the Patriots actually have an all-court offense. Great running game, really good TEs and some very talented receivers.

Like all things in football, it really will come down to the O Line and how they play. if they're solid enough, if they can give Mondre and co the lanes and they can keep Mac upright long enough, this offense will be night and day from last season.

BoB is very smart, I really think he can't lose and his stock is going to go through the roof. A potential future HC of the Patriots IMHO.

And I haven't even mentioned the defense which is going to be next level imho.
