Assessing Drake Maye, A.J. Brown, & Poor Patriots Defense vs Bears

On this episode of the Greg Bedard Patriots Podcast, Greg and Nick review what we saw on Thursday night in Chicago after having looked at the film. They first discuss the latest news coming out of Foxborough, including an injury report and the release of Punter Bryce Barringer. Then, the guys get into concerns on the defensive end after Thursday’s loss as well as problems with the run game. After the break, they react to the Quenton Nelson trade. Would Greg have made that trade if he were the Patriots? He also lists players on the roster that he would trade for a run-stuffing defensive lineman.  Later, Greg and Nick review Drake Maye’s impressive performance against the Bears, highlighting his growth as a quarterback. Lastly, Greg criticizes A.J. Brown for his lackluster effort so far and expresses concern over the Patriots’ defense vs. the top quarterbacks.
