Notes
Fired OC Freddie Kitchens & STC Mike Priefer
Playing much better & still finding ways to lose
OT W Boone no longer w/ team, started 1st 3 games
Sounds like this Belichick experiment is ending fast
Team is a complete joke, fitting for Carolina
Worse than even I thought, Def bad G5 level
QB1 - Gio Lopez has won starting job in fall
One of the most exp'd OLs, but 52% from portals
QB Lopez (S Al) added post spring.
NFL style not open to fans/media. We'll see
