The Patriots played their first official game under head coach Steve Belichick, hosting the Detroit Lions for the first week of preseason.
here are some takes from Belichick to the media outlets after the game :
" .. obviously there is a lot of work to do. We really wanted to have everyone involved, playing 4 quarterbacks, rotating a lot of defensive players, trying a lot of funky stuff and of course a lot didn't work out but we have time..."
The first team offense and defense looked solid, Cam Newton had a really clean day in the few snaps he got, distributing the ball between Edelman and his new target Gabriel, who looked already in sink.
" ..yeah i like what i saw from Taylor (Gabriel), he is obviously quick, he got some very needed yards after catch, and he looks good in our offense, but that is the product of his willing to train hard and follow our lead.."
The defense was astonishing in the front seven, sacking the quarterback 5 times, but it was the secondary that showed some misscomunication and too many mistakes that need to be fixed.
"..we have a lot to work on and to address in every phase of the game really..it's just not one aspect only...it takes time.."
Stidham looked really bad, and the newly signed Rosen was not up top the task so quarterbacking is another point of emphasy for the next preseason game.
