Pats Nation NetworkPats Pulpit Podcast Ep. 239: Mac Jones, Patriots try for first win of the year by beating the JetsThere is not a lot of star power on this New York Jets roster. One might say that makes them an easy target for the New England Patriots. One might also say that makes the Jets dangerous because they have nothing to lose.
The Patriots are coming off a disappointing, yet inspiring loss to the Dolphins in Week 1, while the Jets looked hapless against the Panthers. The Jets lost their starting left tackle, their punter, their waterboy, and probably a few other thing along the way, and the Patriots are primed to take advantage.
So how can the Patriots offense...

No Cam Newton. No Brian Hoyer. Only Jones, who should be written in as the week 1 starter in permanent marker. Jones won the job outright with his consistency, growth, and leadership and should be the starter for a long time.

Shane Mac ExperimentsChase Jarvis with Shane Mac"What's ultimately at play here is the loudest voice, the strongest cultural narrative. That's where culture orients around risk or reward or safety. The hope that I have is that (people are) looking around for a little bit, pressing pause and saying, wait a minute. The things that used to be couched as safe are arguably now riskier than ever before. That's true for employment, relationships, identity, so many things. The thing that's going to overpower that is inside us. It's not out there. And that's the part to get people to lean into."
