Pats Pulpit Podcast Ep. 230: Patriots have an absolute dream of a 2021 NFL Draft
The New England Patriots entered the 2021 NFL Draft in need of a quarterback of the future and with a goal of improving their defensive front seven after a disastrous 2020 season defending the run.
So Alabama QB Mac Jones, the most efficient quarterback in college football history, fell into their laps at 15th overall. And Alabama DL Christian Barmore slipped into the second round at 38th overall. And Oklahoma ED Ronnie Perkins, one of the truly elite edge defenders in the draft, was available at 96th overall.
Mission accomplished by the Patriots, and then some. Listen to Alec and Rich break down the Patriots' wildly successful draft.

The New England Patriots are in a rare position. They don't have a quarterback of the future and there are five blue chip quarterbacks in the draft. Will any of them fall to their first pick at 15th overall? Or will they have to trade up to get one of them?

With just over a week to go until the 2021 NFL Draft, Mark Schofield has the penultimate Mock Draft Monday installment of The Scho Show. In this episode, Mark shares with the listeners the first round of the second-annual Scho Show Slack Mock Draft.

Kudos to all those participating.
For those curious, Mark is handling the Seattle Seahawks so at some point you can ridicule him for his three poor selections.

The Scho Show 189: My Guys
Every draft cycle you hear the phrase "I would bang the table for this player." It invokes images from the movie "Draft Day" with a slice of "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington." An area scout, or another member of a front office, filibustering the rest of the organization for a diamond in the rough kind of player who could potentially change the course of a franchise.
In that spirit, this episode of The Scho Show gives Mark Schofield the floor to make the case for some of his guys in the draft. Not players he discovered or anything like that, just prospects he loved to study and would love to see take the leap to the NFL.

The Scho Show Episode 186: Emergency Pod! Thank you Joe Douglas!
Hope.
The NFL draft is packaged hope. Manufactured hope. Commercialized hope. That hope from all 32 fanbases that with the right combination of picks, playoff glory is less than a year away. Maybe it is a new receiver, a shiny new cornerback. An athletic linebacker.
Or a quarterback.
Thanks to the New York Jets. Yes the New. York. Jets. The New England Patriots have a glimmer of hope on the quarterback front, brighter than it was a few hours ago. Why? Because the Jets traded Sam Darnold to the Carolina Panthers, likely taking one QB-needy team out of the 2021 quarterback market.
Here's (relatively) instant reaction to the trade, and what it could mean for the Patriots.

What are some potential trade up spots if the New England Patriots want to move up for a player, or a quarterback? What could the board potentially look like when they are on the clock at 15?
And perhaps most importantly, would they make a pick?

My Friday afternoon was coming along wonderfully as I got things in order before heading out of town. Shows were recorded, a two-round mock draft was done for Touchdown Wire, and I was ready to shut it down for a week.
Unfortunately Kyle Shanahan hates me.
So instead, chaos ensued as I tried -- like everyone else in the football world -- to make sense of the trade between the San Francisco 49ers and the Miami Dolphins. Here is part of my attempt to do just that. What does it mean for those teams...and for the New England Patriots?

The Scho Show Episode 182: Taking stock
The free agency period is starting to wind down and it is time to take stock. Bill Belichick has just about wrapped up grocery shopping and fresh off pulling together all the capital he could muster, Robert Kraft has opened up the books. However, some recent signings might be critical to what we can expect from the New England Patriots schematically next season. In the first half of the show we dive into what the returns of Lawrence Guy and James White mean on both sides of the football.
In the second half of the show, and after a brief detour through Cleveland, Mark Schofield addresses the needs that might remain and poses a big question to the gentle listeners: What kind of team are the Patriots right now? The answer to that might illuminate a vexing question at the QB position.

Pats Pulpit Podcast Ep. 228: Patrick Chung Retires, Patriots set up well for 2021 NFL Draft
The first wave of free agency is over and the New England Patriots are in great position heading into the NFL draft. While there are definitely areas on the roster than can improve, the Patriots have no obvious holes- which gives them plenty of flexibility with how they can approach the first round of the draft.
Safety Patrick Chung retired- one of the great Patriots of the 2010s- but New England is in good hands with Adrian Phillips, Kyle Dugger, and now Jalen Mills.
As for the rest of the roster, the Patriots could add some depth on the defensive line (Lawrence Guy?), in the running back room (James White?), and at wide receiver. As for the rest of the roster, that's what the draft is for.

Despite what others might think, there is a plan for the future of the New England Patriots, particularly on the offensive side of the football. Sure, the franchise spent a ton of money, but when you dive into the real numbers, the potential scheme, and what it all means, it is clear there is a method to the madness.
Plus, thoughts on the other stories around the league, including Deshaun Watson, Andy Dalton, wide receivers and more.

Pats Pulpit Podcast Ep. 227: Patriots set records to start 2021 free agency
How many times have Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots brought in a new player in free agency and handed them a top-dollar contract? Stephon Gilmore, Adalius Thomas, Rosevelt Colvin, technically Darrelle Revis, and that's about it. Well, now the Patriots have made splashes by bringing in the top two tight ends on the market in Hunter Henry and Jonnu Smith and made them tied for the 3rd highest paid at their position in the entire league.
And then Belichick brought in a pair of receivers in Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne. And then handed the bag to pass rusher Matt Judon. And then gave a ton of money to defensive back Jalen Mills. AND THEN bolstered the defensive line with Davon Godshaux and Henry Anderson.
Oh, and then they retained Justin Bethel and Cam Newton and Carl Davis and Deatrich Wise, and traded for Trent Brown.
Belichick doesn't want to lose again and these moves set the Patriots up to compete for the next 5 years.

The Scho Show Episode 179: Heartbreak Hill and Mock Draft Monday
The 179th installment of The Scho Show begins with a discussion of...the Boston Marathon.
Do not panic. Mark Schofield has not rebranded as a marathoner or as someone covering the world of marathoning. No, the discussion begins this way to remind everyone that the NFL off-season is a marathon, and not a sprint. We have not yet reached Heartbreak Hill, and are in fact no where close to it.
What does this have to do with the New England Patriots? Well, they re-signed Cam Newton last week so...
In the second half of the show...listener mocks!

The Scho Show Episode 178: The Mac Jones Installment of Mock Draft Monday
Say what you want about mock drafts but they can be useful as means of a simulation. A way to test out various scenarios.
For some New England Patriots fans, a nightmare draft scenario begins with Alabama quarterback Mac Jones at the 15th overall selection in the draft. Perhaps that describes you. Perhaps not. But what could that look like? That is how this installment begins. Mark Schofield dives into the Mock Draft Simulator at The Draft Network to explore what the board - and the final draft class - could look like if Jones is indeed the selection at 15.
Then, listener mocks, including perhaps Mark's all-time favorite submission to kick off the second half of the show.

In the first half of the show we dive into two Alabama prospects who may -- might? -- be options for the New England Patriots with the 15th pick in the draft.

Then we dive into wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and work through how his track background has him ready for the NFL.
In the second half of the show we open up the mail bag and talk...Newcastle United and veal cutlets? Yes, yes we do.

Draft season fully is upon us, and if it's Monday it means another episode with fantasies about what Bill Belichick is absolutely, positively not going to do with the New England Patriots' allotments of draft picks.
Before diving into the listener mocks, however, it is time for a rant. Mark Schofield worked up some angst over the hiatus and since silly season is upon us, it's time to blow off some steam.

Thanks to Jim Nagy and the rest of the great team that runs the Senior Bowl those with virtual credentials still have access to all of the film from practice, complete with every angle of every rep in practice.
So after an late-night/early-morning of grinding the film I've got some practice observations. Including, but not limited to:
Cautious passers on the National Roster;
Jamie Newman, Senior Bowl QB1?
A great group of pass rushers
Some interior offensive line talent
Remember the name D'Wayne Eskridge
American squad wide receivers
A cornerback from Oregon, and much much more.

The Scho Show 165: Playoffs, QB landing spots and more
We are back for a Wednesday afternoon edition of The Scho Show. In this installment we talk playoffs, looking ahead to this weekend's games.
We start on the AFC side, highlighting what the teams have to do to come out victorious. The Bills need to deny free access and stop the run, while the Ravens might need to cloud the picture for Josh Allen. Cleveland needs to be perfect - or darn close to it - while the Chiefs need to do what they might do best: Push the ball downfield.
On the NFC side, the games might be determined when these units are on the field: Green Bay's offense versus Los Angeles's defense, and Tampa Bay's offense versus Dennis Allen and the Saints defense.
Then we talk some QB landing spots and odds, plus an announcement on the next chapter of the Scho Show Slack Channel.

Pats Pulpit Podcast Ep. 225: Patriots season thankfully ends against the Jets
They weren't particularly bad, but this 2020 New England Patriots team will certainly be forgettable as they prepare to finish their season against the 2-13 New York Jets with absolutely nothing on the line, except for pride- and the Jets may have the edge in that department.
This Patriots team can't stop the run and they can't score on offense, which is a recipe for disaster as New England's strengths of running the ball and defending the pass become completely irrelevant in a competitive game, or one where the Patriots are trailing.
So what do Patriots fans have to look forward to, apart from the 3rd-most cap space in the entire NFL and a bright future? Well, how about getting a chance to either beat the Jets and save some face, or potentially wind up with a top 10 pick?

The Scho Show Episode 161: Really what does it matter?
Not the best selling job with that episode title, but hey, we work with what we've got.
It was a bad night on Monday. As someone who adores "Love Actually," ESPN's ridiculous Brady/Belichick graphic stealing a scene from that movie was horrific to see. And yet, it still was not the worst thing we saw Monday night. Whether it was the woefully dismal dumpster fire of suck that is the current Patriots passing game, a defense surrendering ten yards a pop on smoke screens, or surrender punts early in the second half, it was all bad and I needed to vent for a bit.
In the second half of the show, I dive into a huge question simmering under the surface about the future. Not the "who" or the "what" of the quarterback position, but the "how."

Pats Pulpit Podcast Ep. 224: Patriots look to spoil Buffalo Bills Christmas
Merry Christmas and happy holidays! The New England Patriots are eliminated from the playoffs, meaning that they don't have much to play for the rest of the season. That does not apply to the Buffalo Bills, which are jockeying for the #2 seed in the AFC.
So can the Patriots play spoiler and hamper Buffalo's playoff seeding? Or should they finally hand the keys to the car to Jarrett Stidham and see what he can do with a full game under center?

Pat and Spags are back with a Christmas edition of the Patriot Nation Podcast. They discuss how getting the young guys playing time should be the biggest priority for the next 2 games. With the Patriots out of playoff contention, and losses actually improving their draft pick, the most important thing right now is getting the young guys experience and seeing what they have.

A mailbag.
In this episode we dive into Star Wars characters as punters, mishaps in modeling, a ton of quarterback talk, Donald Faison peaking in an air band, and more.
Oh and we actually even talk about Josh Allen, the Buffalo Bills and what his development can teach us about the future of the quarterback position in general, and in New England.

Pats Pulpit Podcast Ep. 223: Patriots season ends with a whimper against the Dolphins
The New England Patriots traveled to Miami to face the Dolphins with their playoff hopes on the line and, uh, we guess they played? The Patriots offense never found its footing against a great Dolphins defense, which limited the Patriots to four field goals, and the defense was gashed on the ground.
So. What's next for New England? Actually, though, please tell us, we haven't been in this situation in two decades. We don't know what to do!

The Scho Show Episode 159: A game, the future, and quarterback evaluation thoughts
The New England Patriots' slim playoff chances were dashed on Sunday with a loss to the Miami Dolphins. On yet another NFL afternoon, the offense failed to show any sort of punch, and that amounted to a season-crippling defeat down in South Beach.
In the first half of this show we look at how this loss came about on both a micro- and a macro-level. The offense is the focus of discussion, as expected, but the defense is not let off the hook.
Then in the second half of the show the book is closed on 2020, as the roster evaluation process for 2021 has to begin in earnest, starting now. Of course, that starts with the quarterback position. Thoughts on Cam Newton and Jarrett Stidham give way to free agency, the draft and yes, the draft evaluation process.

The Scho Show Episode 158: The New England Patriots in Prose
In 1843 Charles Dickens had two things going on in his life.
The first was debt. Crushing debt in part. His financial troubles were the talk of London society.
But he also had an idea.
An idea of a ghost story, based loosely on “The Story of the Goblins Who Stole a Sexton.” In that tale a grave digger had nothing else to do on Christmas Eve but dig a grave and indulge in a bottle of hard spirits. Bent on reforming the old man, a band of goblins appeared to him to view panoramas of Christmas live being celebrated by those around him. The grave digger converted upon the morning to a sober life.
That idea, of course, was for what would be called A Christmas Carol in Prose.
Longtime listeners to this show know of my affinity for Dickens, and A Christmas Carol. So it is in that spirit that I present The New England Patriots in Prose.
We will discuss the ghosts of Patriots past, the ghosts of Patriots present and yes, the ghosts of Patriots yet to come.

The guys also discuss the talent, and the continued dominance on special teams.

The underdog New England Patriots defeated the Los Angeles Chargers 45-0 in one of the most surprising final results in NFL history. Cam Newton and the offense had a relatively quiet day, but the New England special teams unit delivered the points, while the defense absolutely locked down the Chargers offense.

A complete football win.

The Scho Show 155: Chargers Week
Well friends, now it is time to look at the Los Angeles Chargers.
After a quick Carson Wentz detour first. For the brand and all...
But then we get into the Chargers, starting with another young quarterback, Justin Herbert. It gives us a chance to revisit his draft evaluation, highlight how the Chargers have catered to what he does best as a quarterback, and then dive into a particular area of growth: Pocket presence. It was not a strength of his coming out of Oregon, but as the numbers and film illustrate, he has taken a huge leap forward.
In the second half of the show, it's time for some good news/bad news with maybe some extra bad news. The Chargers run a ton of Cover 3 in the secondary, which is usually good! Most of the big plays they have given up this year in the passing game have come when they've run Cover 3. Also usually good! Unfortunately because of where the Patriots are as an offense, most of their - limited - success in the passing game has come against different covera…

Pats Pulpit Podcast Ep. 217: How did the Patriots manage to beat the Cardinals?
The New England Patriots managed to defeat the Arizona Cardinals thanks to some stellar defense that limited phenom quarterback Kyler Murray and stud receiver DeAndre Hopkins, and thanks to some incredible special teams play from Donte Moncrief, Gunner Olszewski, Jake Bailey, and Nick Folk.
No thanks to an offense that was led by Cam Newton in one of his worst performances as a member of the Patriots, and one that relied almost entirely on Damien Harris, Jakobi Meyers, and James White.
And yet the Patriots won and their post-season hopes are alive! But for how much longer?

It was not pretty. It was certainly ugly at times. But the New England Patriots improved to 5-6 on the 2020 season with a 20-17 victory "at the death," as our friends across the pond like to say. In this Glorious Victory Edition of The Scho Show, we start with the big picture issues: Cam Newton, the defense, the season as a whole, and of course, the fact that watching this team is fun this year. Why? Because it is new, it is different and yes, the results are not what Patriots fans are accustomed to, but we are seeing growth before our eyes.
Even if it is ugly at times.
In the second half of the show, we dive deeper into the game, breaking down plays that worked, and those that did not. Plus, game balls and the "Takes of the Game" from the Scho Show Slack Channel. Reach out for an invitation for the stretch run and of course, draft season!

Pats Pulpit Podcast Ep. 215: Patriots let season slip through their fingers
There goes the New England Patriots 2020 season. A weak performance against the Houston Texans sank whatever chance the Patriots had for reaching the postseason and now their focus is on avoiding- or chasing- a top 10 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.
This Patriots team couldn't beat a bad Broncos team or a bad Texans team, despite having the opportunity to score in the final minute of both games. They couldn't beat a good Seahawks team or a good Bills team, despite also having an opportunity to score in the final minute of each game. This is a Patriots team that can't pull out the plays when they need them most.
So who gets the blame? Bill Belichick and Josh McDaniels? The lack of a defensive front? The lack of offensive playmakers? Or is this simply the register for the Patriots' unprecedented two decades of dominance that benefit from, yes, some luck along the way?

But we cannot look back for too long, as the Patriots have another game to get ready for. In the second half of this show we look at Deshaun Watson and what makes him dangerous in the passing game, as well as how the New England offense should fare against the Houston defense.

But was this a fluke? The Patriots were taken to the wire against the horrible New York Jets team just last week- so how much can we trust this Patriots team to keep up their level of play as they head down a tough final stretch of the season?

It did not feel right last week, to call the post-game show after the victory over the New York Jets a "Glorious Victory Edition."
Things are different this week.
It also feels funny sometimes when we end the show with the tagline "...and bless those Patriots rains/reigns down in Foxborough."
Things are different this week.
They are different because the New England Patriots knocked off Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens by a final score of 23-17, breathing new life into a season that seemed to be going nowhere just a few weeks ago. Left for dead by many - this show's host included - the Patriots might just be clawing themselves back into the playoff picture.

Pats Pulpit Podcast Ep. 212: Patriots will have hands full versus Ravens, Lamar Jackson
They boast the league's #1 ranked defense and also feature a top 10 offense. They have the reigning MVP, a great tight end, and a cast of great defenders that can all rise to the occasion to make the play. This could have described the New England Patriots of just a couple years ago, but instead we're talking about the Baltimore Ravens and Lamar Jackson.
The Ravens lead the league in rushing yards and the Patriots rushing defense ranks, ugh, 31st by DVOA. So do the Patriots have any chance of slowing the Baltimore attack while they're on defense? Alec and Rich agree on the Patriots defensive X Factor, too.
And then there's the question of how Cam Newton and the New England offense will be able to move the ball against a defense that doesn't really have a weak point. They have great cornerbacks. They have great run defenders. They have a great scheme. Can Cam go Superman and win it all?

If the New England Patriots are going to improve to 4-5 on the season, they'll need to knock off the visiting Baltimore Ravens on Sunday Night Football. The Patriots are seven-point home underdogs for the first time in a long time, so the task does seem difficult.
Job one might be stopping Lamar Jackson and the Ravens offense. So that is the focus of the show. In the first half of this episode we look at the Ravens offense, highlight how their inconsistency this season, and illustrate how one team managed to get them off rhythm.
In the second half of the show, we look at what the Patriots have done in recent weeks to try and uncover a bit of a defensive identity, and also look at what they tried back in 2019 against this offense.

Jets quarterback Joe Flacco had a typical superlative performance against the Patriots, despite being terrible against all other teams, and New England trailed by 10 points heading into the fourth quarter.
And yet Cam Newton and the Jakobi Meyers-led passing attack mounted an impressive comeback and New England managed to win. Is this good for the team, or are there disappointing wins in a season like this?

It wasn't pretty. In fact it was at times ugly, but the New England Patriots managed to come away with a 30-27 victory over the winless New York Jets on Monday Night Football.
This game is perhaps best viewed as a redemption story. Or a pair of redemption stories. First from a defensive back who looked to be the goat when the night was through, but delivered the game's only turnover.
And then, a quarterback. Maligned in recent weeks for his struggles and the offensive woes, and a quarterback who had the game last week in his hands...until he did not. He also had a chance to rewrite some tales tonight, and this time he came through.
We'll look at those stories and more, plus game balls and the Take of the Game from The Scho Show Slack Channel.

Pats Pulpit Podcast Ep. 210: Patriots look for redemption on Monday night against the Jets
The New England Patriots get to play a horrendous New York Jets team in prime time as they're set to square off on Monday Night Football. The Patriots, losers of four straight, and the Jets, losers of every game this year, are riding the third-longest and longest losing streaks in the league. That ends on Monday (barring a tie, which would be a darkly comedic way for the game to end).
So who do the Patriots want to stop on the Jets offense? No, really, honestly, who is on the Jets offense? Can anyone help us? We remember Braxton Berrios from his time on the Patriots during camp and during the preseason- you honestly want us to believe that he's the Jets #1 receiver? Stop it, I don't believe you!
Well, the Patriots offense appears to be marginally better, so how can Cam Newton and company find a way to win on Monday Night? Listen to find out!

Pats Pulpit Podcast Ep. 209: Patriots lose to Bills in heartbreaking fashion
The New England Patriots looked like they were going to beat the Buffalo Bills and save their season, but in the last minutes of the game, Cam Newton fumbled the football in the red zone. If that doesn't sum up the 2020 Patriots, I don't know what does.
There were some bright spots. The secondary stifled a great passing attack, and Damien Harris and Jakobi Meyers proved that the Patriots have talent on offense beyond the offensive line. But there's still a lot of work that needs to be done before this team can compete.
The defensive front seven was gashed on the ground as the Bills ran the ball at will- and yet Chase Winovich remained relegated to the bench. While that is most likely linked to the game plan, it's obvious that the game plan hasn't been working- perhaps the game plan should be tailored to get the Patriots best defensive front player on the field!
And on offense, Cam flashed his upside, but was inconsistent as the Patriots are scraping the bottom of the barrel at receiver…
Nov 2, 2020
The Scho Show Episode 147: This is the end?
One week to save the season.
That is how many viewed Sunday's game between the New England Patriots and the Buffalo Bills. New England had one week to save their season.
It was in their grasp. Quarterback Cam Newton had the football and the Patriots were deep into Buffalo territory, already in range for kicker Nick Folk to tie the game, and within reach of a game-winning touchdown to turn the season around.
And then, it was gone. The ball was punched out of Newton's grasp, the Bills recovered, and the Patriots are left to wonder where to go from here.
And if this was the end.

Pats Pulpit Podcast Ep. 208: How the Patriots can win a must-win game against the Bills
The Patriots haven't faced a must-win game this early in the season since 2000, but here we are. A win against the Buffalo Bills moves New England to 3-4, and pulls them closer to the top of what would be a wide-open AFC East; nearly 20% of teams that start the season 3-4 make the playoffs.
On the other hand, a loss sinks the Patriots to a 2-5 record, with the Bills pulling away atop the division and a Miami Dolphins team in the middle; only 3% of 2-5 teams ever reach the playoffs.
So the Patriots need to win, or else their season is effectively over. The Patriots will be without their best wide receiver and best cornerback and their quarterback is in shambles and their offensive line is dealing with injuries and their defensive front seven is full of question marks. But, hey, not everything is bad! The Bills barely beat the hapless New York Jets last week, so anything is possible!

The Scho Show Episode 146: The Passing Game and Josh Allen
The concerns over the passing game are merited.
But is their a quick fix?
In the first half of this episode Mark Schofield dives into the New England passing game. Missed opportunities abound, but is there a way to fix all of them?
Probably not.
So that puts pressure on the defense, right? Well, this week that means confusing Josh Allen. At least there could be an answer to that question.

Pats Pulpit Podcast Ep. 207: The Patriots terrible, awful, no good, very bad day against the 49ers
Where to start with the New England Patriots' absolute awful performance against the San Francisco 49ers? Cam Newton was terrible. The wide receivers and tight ends- other than Jakobi Meyers, who has inexplicably been buried on the depth chart- were terrible. The offensive line suffered more injuries, this time to Joe Thuney and Justin Herron. The defensive front seven was terrible against the 49ers rushing attack, and the secondary didn't fare any better. The coaches were bad.
Oh, but special teams had a pretty okay day kicking the ball, so...bright spots?
Is this the death knell for the Patriots' 2020 season? Or can this team still turn it around?

The Scho Show 145: What the heck was that?
Dark days are upon us.
This is not a reference to the time of year, although sunlight is disappearing into the horizon sooner than we like right now. No, it is a reference to the New England Patriots. On the heels of a disastrous loss to the San Francisco 49ers, we are faced with some burning questions.
First, what the heck was that?
Second, where do we go from here?
This is not a good football team right now. It is a one-dimensional team that has to stay in positive game script situations to be effective offensively, but that creates the smallest of margins for error for their entire team. Cam Newton is struggling, the defense was porous at times, and that leads us to a third question: Are they sellers?
One week to save the season. Can it be done?

Pats Pulpit Podcast Ep. 206: How the Patriots can beat the 49ers
The New England Patriots offense ranks in the bottom 10 this season, and their passing game is in the bottom three. Part of that is due to the absence of QB Cam Newton against the Kansas City Chiefs, as well as his rusty return against the Denver Broncos, but part is also due to the poor execution and consistency out of the other players on offense. So how can the unit turn itself around against a good San Francisco 49ers team?
Can James White replicate his Super Bowl LI MVP performance against a Kyle Shanahan team? Or will the tight ends finally get involved in the passing game?
And how will the defense handle the homecoming of QB Jimmy Garoppolo and and offense boasting All Pro tight end George Kittle? The 49ers zone rushing attack is a nightmare matchup for the New England defensive front- so how can the Patriots slow them down?

Pats Pulpit Podcast Ep. 205: Patriots offense looks bleak in loss to the Broncos
There's no way around it- the New England Patriots offense stunk against a middling Denver Broncos defense. Cam Newton looked bad in his return from the COVID-19 reserves and the continuous stream of injuries to the offensive line didn't help. The Patriots offense has been one of the worst in the league over the past two games- where is the offense from the first three weeks of the year?
Julian Edelman has to be dealing with an injury, because he's been a ghost. The running backs are hurting from the lack of consistency on the offensive line. And when the heck are the rookie tight ends going to see a target?
Fortunately, the defense looks great. But unless the offense finds a fix, this team isn't going to find itself in the middle of the pack- a bad place to be for an NFL team.

The Scho Show 144: San Francisco Week
We turn the page here at The Scho Show, focusing our attention on what lies ahead. This week? The San Francisco 49ers. Sure, many are going to make this game about quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. But his contest might come down to two questions.
First, can the New England Patriots slow down George Kittle? We look to answer that by diving into some numbers on where he lines up, what routes he runs, and the ways that Kyle Shanahan tries to get him open as Garoppolo's first read, thereby making life easier for his QB.
Second, can the Patriots throw on the 49ers? Their defense has given up some big passing plays this year. We dive into the numbers on those, see what stands out, and then dive into the schematics of throwing against the Niners.

The Scho Show Episode 143: A loss, and more, against the Denver Broncos
The New England Patriots and quarterback Cam Newton had the football with three minutes left, trailing by six point, and a chance to win.
That Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos got to that point provides us with some good news...and some bad.
On the positive side of the ledger, this New England defense could do enough on a day like today to keep the Patriots within striking distance, and generated turnovers when it needed to, to turn what looked like an embarrassing loss into a potential win.
On the negative side of the ledger, this game looked like an embarrassing loss until just before that point.
In this episode we look at the big picture, the ugly truths, and more.

Did they put pressure on the NFL to reschedule a game that they clearly wanted to play? It certainly seems that way. Once again, the Patriots are changing the way teams prepare, this time, doing it in regards to containing a virus.

The New England Patriots, as of this moment, are scheduled to play the Denver Broncos on Sunday afternoon. Questions are swirling around this game, given positive COVID-19 tests for both Cam Newton and Stephon Gilmore in the past week, but provided this game goes forward, what can we expect from the Broncos?
When they have the football, there are questions still, specifically who will be taking the snaps for Denver. Early signs indicate that Brett Rypien will get the snaps, so what can the Patriots do against him? We start with lessons from last Thursday night.
Then, when the Patriots have the football, who is worrisome on the Denver defense? We look at safety Justin Simmons.

Pats Pulpit Podcast Ep. 203: Patriots lose a tough game against the Chiefs, NFL, Refs, and Brian Hoyer
The New England Patriots did not have their starting quarterback due to COVID. They had to play on the same day they traveled, thanks to the NFL. They had a touchdown taken off the board thanks to a terrible and early whistle by an official. And still they managed to battle late into the game against the Kansas City Chiefs, despite an ugly outing by back-up quarterback Brian Hoyer.
The defense had one of their best outings of the Bill Belichick era, holding a potent Chiefs offense to just 19 points. And if the officials allowed Patrick Mahomes' sack in the second quarter to play out as an interception, and Shilique Calhoun's touchdown stood; and if Brian Hoyer hadn't taken a sack before the half, or hadn't fumbled the football on the 10-yard line in the third quarter; and if the officials didn't call 33 yards of ticky-tacky penalties in favor of the Chiefs on a crucial fourth quarter drive, including a defensive pass interference call on third down; then maybe the Patriots would have h…

Despite holding them to six first-half points, and despite having two different red zone drives with a chance to take the lead, the Patriots trek home with a loss and wonder what could have been.

And given that the offense is going to be different, what impact does that have on the defense in trying to stop this Chiefs offense?

Can Cam Newton and the offense score enough to stick with the Chiefs high-flying attack? Or will Bill Belichick and the defense borrow a game plan from a different era- say, his time with the Giants or from facing Peyton Manning- to keep the ball out of Mahomes' hands?

The New England Patriots are hoping to build off two strong weeks to start the 2020 season as they host a surprising strong Las Vegas Raiders team. The Raiders currently rank #1 in the league in points per drive as they're efficient at putting points on the board. So how should Bill Belichick, Steve Belichick, and the New England defense match up against this Raiders attack?
And on the other side of the ball...uhhh...who do the Raiders have on the other side of the ball? Can Cam Newton build upon his success on the ground over the first two weeks, as well as his passing success from the Seahawks game? Will N'Keal Harry continue to grow as a target? And will the Patriots rushing attack emerge?

Pats Pulpit Podcast Ep. 199: Patriots fall to Seahawks, but Cam Newton looks amazing
It's rare that a New England Patriots loss leaves fans with a positive feeling, but losing a close game to the Seattle Seahawks where Julian Edelman, N'Keal Harry, Damiere Byrd, and Cam Newton all had career days should have Patriots fans hopeful about the future. One week after a run-heavy offense gashed the Miami Dolphins, Newton and the passing attack showed an ability to attack a well-coached secondary- and if the offense can win by ground or by air, opposing teams will struggle to defend the Patriots.
On the other side of the ball, the Patriots have to just tip their caps at the Seahawks receivers who scored three of their five touchdowns on preposterous plays. Nine times out of ten those plays wouldn't have resulted in touchdowns, and yet all three happened in the same game. That's just bad luck, and the defense should get back on track.

The Scho Show Episode 135: Looking at the bright side
Normally after a loss, The Scho Show shifts into sadness mode. The episodes are titled "Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness" episodes, we play sad music, and Mark Schofield gets in his feelings for about thirty minutes or so.
This is not a sad episode.
Because what we saw tonight was a football team that was fun to watch, was figuring out its identity over the course of sixty minutes in the Pacific Northwest, and had one final shot at a win in a game that seemed out of reach. A final shot at a win in a game where they had gotten down by two scores on two different occasions, only to fight back.
Are there concerns? Yes. Is this team perfect? No. Are the concerns fixable? Maybe?
But this was fun to watch. So we are looking at the bright side tonight.

We dive into Kyle Dugger and how the Patriots used him in his first NFL game. Reviews? Mixed in a sense. Better still was what we saw from second-year player Joejuan Williams. New England has needed a tight end eraser for years...perhaps they finally have one.
Then in the second half of the show, we're on to Seattle. We know about Russell Wilson. That is where we should focus on Sunday night, because how the Patriots defend him - and how successful they are at it - might give us a roadmap for the entire season. Plus, Jamal Adams.

Pats Pulpit Podcast Ep. 197: Patriots beat the Dolphins in Cam Newton's debut!
The New England Patriots moved to 1-0 in Cam Newton's first game in a Patriots uniform. Newton was efficient and effective, despite an obvious lack of production from his receivers- and it was up to the ground game to move the offense down the field.
On the other side of the ball, the defense picked up where they left off last season with another excellent performance, despite an array of new faces in key roles. Newcomer Adrian Phillips had a great debut, too, as the defense forced three turnovers.

The Scho Show Episode 129: Roster Projections 1.0
The Scho Show is back with a first crack at predicting the final New England Patriots' 53-man roster. There are difficult decisions facing this coaching staff on both sides of the football and at many positions groups, and Mark Schofield does his best to try and sort those out.
On offense, while the question of starting quarterback might be settled, how many players they keep each position around Cam Newton - including within the QB room - is unsettled. Tough decisions exist at running back, wide receiver and along the offensive line.
Defensively, the strength remains in the secondary, where Bill Belichick likely keeps as many cornerbacks and safeties as he can. EDGE/OLB might be a quiet position of strength, at least in the numbers.
Then yes, there is a kicker decision to make.

Pats Pulpit Podcast Ep. 195: Which players are winning the starting jobs two weeks into Patriots camp?
The New England Patriots entered training camp with a ton of question marks. On offense, the only certainty was with wide receiver Julian Edelman, running back James White, and offensive linemen Isaiah Wynn, Joe Thuney, and Shaq Mason (even David Andrews was a question mark). On defense, the entire front seven was re-shuffled due to departures in free agency and linebacker Dont'a Hightower opting out for the season.
So where do the Patriots stand two weeks into camp? Who is winning the quarterback battle? Who are the big surprises on offense and on defense? And what should we be looking out for over the final two weeks?

With the start of the NFL season just around the corner, it is time for the official The Scho Show 2020 Quarterback Preview. In this episode, Mark Schofield dives into everything quarterbacks.
Well, mostly everything.
In the first half of the show, we dive into the 11 quarterbacks with the most to prove in 2020. From Lamar Jackson needing to win a playoff game, Teddy Bridgewater needing to keep his job, Derek Carr needing to keep his, and Mitchell Trubisky perhaps needing to win his back, there are some quarterbacks facing burning questions in 2020.
In the second half of the show, Mark dives into a recent piece for USA Today outlining the advice he would give each starting quarterback in the NFL before they took the field in Week 1. From scheme to mechanics and yes motivation, here are Mark's words of wisdom.

Episode 127 of The Scho Show is a straight-up banger. We begin with a discussion about Bill Belichick potentially platooning quarterbacks, and then talk to the man that set that discussion in motion. The venerable and honorable Phil Perry from NBC Sports Boston was kind enough to join us for some Quality Time.
Mark and Phil dive into the defense, including:
What the linebacker unit looks like;
Just how well Kyle Dugger is playing right now;
A potential different role for Josh Uche
Then it's time to talk about the offense:
Who emerges at right tackle;
How the rookie tight ends are playing;
And yes, the quarterbacks
There is even some rookie kicker talk! You don't want to miss this one.

Pats Pulpit Podcast Ep. 194: Analyzing the first two days of Patriots training camp practices
The New England Patriots have held two practices in pads and there's already a lot to analyze. Who, if anyone, is winning the quarterback battle? Who is stepping up to replace veterans Dont'a Hightower, Patrick Chung, and Marcus Cannon? Which players are exceeding expectations and which players are at risk of losing their roster spot? And what camp battles will we be watching over the next week?

Timing, the health of the players and the usage tidbits on some notable names such as Kyle Dugger and James White.
In the second half of the show we go "Under the Hoodie" and get back into the mind of Bill Belichick. Then, in perhaps a violation of voting conduct, Mark is ready to cast his first PFWA ballot for the NFL's Comeback Player of the Year, before the voting has even opened. The selection should really not be a surprise.

Will Cam Newton get on the same page with his running backs;
Thoughts on James White, WR;
What the Patriots are going to do at tight end;

Pats Pulpit Podcast Ep. 193: How canceling college football will affect the NFL, and Patriots reinforcements!
College football conferences are canceling their football seasons, which will have lasting implications for the NFL. How will teams know which players deserve to be first round picks if they haven't played for a year? What if the college season takes place in the spring, alongside the draft? What does that mean for a team like the Patriots that need a quarterback next year?
And then the Patriots signed a handful of familiar faces to replace the players that opted out of the season, and added two other veterans that played in similar schemes- running back Lamar Miller, who played under former Patriots offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien with the Texans, and cornerback Michael Jackson Sr., who played under former Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia with the Lions.

On Friday, players and coaches from the New England Patriots took to Zoom to meet with the media, including head coach Bill Belichick and some of the Patriots quarterbacks. In the 124th installment of The Scho Show, Mark Schofield highlights some of the discussion. First up, the venerable head coach. While Belilchick seemed to be in mid-season form, deftly avoiding giving too much away, his comments on coaching during COVID-19 are worth discussion.
Then, the quarterbacks. Cam Newton, Jarrett Stidham and Brian Hoyer all met with the media. What Newton had to say about his departure from Carolina and his start in New England is fascinating, but this truly is a quarterback battle.

The Scho Show 123: Gathering Storms
Mark Schofield returns to the microphone for Episode 123 of The Scho Show. In the first half of the show, Mark dives into the opening of the New England Patriots' season. Five games, three at home and two on the road, before the bye week. Games against a divisional foe, a former Super Bowl opponent, and three long-time conference rivals.
The question is this: How well do the Patriots need to perform in those games for you to feel good about the second half of the season? Especially considering what that 11 game stretch looks like.
Then in the second half of the show, Mark talks about the "gathering storm" that is on the horizon when it comes to the 2021 NFL Draft. Red flags as far as the eyes can see...

Pats Pulpit Podcast Ep. 192: Training camp is here and players are opting out!
The New England Patriots are open for camp and a lot of familiar faces have opted out of the 2020 season. Linebacker Dont'a Hightower and safety Patrick Chung will not be the defensive linchpins we have come to expect for nearly the past decade. Presumptive offensive starters right tackle Marcus Cannon and tight end Matt LaCosse will also not be playing, nor will projected role players running back Brandon Bolden and fullback Dan Vitale. Bubble players wide receiver Marqise Lee and offensive lineman Najee Toran have also opted out, bringing the number of players not suiting up to a league-high eight.
So what are the Patriots going to do? Who benefits the most from these opt-outs and the stilted offseason schedule? Which players will step up in the place of these veterans? And will Bill Belichick have some tricks up his sleeves to stay competitive as his key players are not taking the field?

The Scho Show Episode 122: Emergency Opt-Out Edition
Mark Schofield is back on the microphone with an Emergency Edition of The Scho Show. Under the agreement reached between the NFL and the NFLPA regarding a return to the field, NFL players have until August 3rd to choose to opt out of the season ahead. Some big names have already taken that option, including a number of New England Patriots.
Dont'a Hightower, the stalwart linebacker, is the biggest name so far. He will certainly be difficult to replace on the interior of the Patriots' linebacker group, especially considering the other losses at that position this off-season.

And there was news, as we awoke to word that the Miami Marlins were dealing with an outbreak of COVID-19 in their locker room. That, coupled with information that more players in the NFL have either tested positive for COVID-19, or have decided to opt out due to concerns over the virus, is a reality that needs to be addressed.
Then, Quality Time! Rudy Reyes of the Rude Dog Show joined Mark to chat about the season ahead. They discussed the many storylines in the league, the Pittsburgh Steelers on both sides of the football, Cam Newton in New England, the NFL and COVID-19, and Rudy's Super Bowl Pick.

Pats Pulpit Podcast Ep. 191: Can Cam Newton lead the Patriots to success in a bizarre season?
It's an extremely unfair request to ask the newest member of the New England Patriots to be the answer to all of the team's questions- but here we are. Can Cam Newton, a former NFL MVP, bring the team back to the Super Bowl? Can he do it with an extremely atypical offseason due to a global pandemic? Can he be the Patriots starting quarterback beyond 2020?
Or will Jarrett Stidham be able to stave off the oncoming challenger and be the starting quarterback that fans were expecting for much of the offseason? Will Stidham's 2019 season in the offense give him an advantage over Newton?
Or will Brian Hoyer, who lost his roster spot to Stidham last season, be able to lean upon his veteran experience and years of knowledge with the Patriots playbook and win the starting job by being the only quarterback that knows the offense?
Players report to camp next week and we'll start getting our answers. But which quarterback do you think will win the starting job?

The Scho Show Episode 115: A Madden Journey
It is video game week here at SB Nation, and on the 115th episode of The Scho Show Mark Schofield shares his journey with Madden.
(I'll say this at the outset, this episode might not be for everyone).
This show begins with a discussion about Mark's weekend, and a long-winded plug for a different podcast. (Again, this episode might not be for everyone). Then Mark dives into his own video game journey, starting all the way back on the original Atari. That tracks from the PC gaming world to the console world, and eventually his discovery of Madden.
Madden took a hiatus in his life, but then, thanks to a curious eight-year old, it came back. In a way he didn't expect.

Patriot Nation 79: How the Patriots are going to win and a serious conversation
On today's show, Pat and Spags discuss how the Patriots will win games this season. Just because Tom Brady is gone, doesn't mean they can't be successful, and that success does not start and end with Jarrett Stidham.
The guys start the show with a serious conversation about what's going on in the world as well.

In the second half of the show, it's nerdy football time. Mark highlights a recent piece for USA Today where he built his ideal game script and pitches it to the Cleveland Browns...

The Scho Show Episode 111: Ranking the Offenses Worst to First
It's now officially summertime. Memorial Day is behind us here in the States, which means the pace of life slows down a bit. Summertime nights call for sitting out on the porch or the deck reading, enjoying a beverage or two, and recharging the batteries to get ready for a pure sprint from training camp through the draft. This is a good time of year in the football world.
But that does not mean the content train stops. It just shifts from the Acela schedule to more of a Northeastern schedule. And the summer is a great time for taking stock, and exercises such as ranking all the offenses from worst to first.
Which is what this episode endeavors to achieve.
Where are the New England Patriots? Well...

With the turnover, after losing 3 key contributors, they discuss how the position could look very different, but possibly in a good way.

It is underdog week here at SB Nation, and The Scho Show is getting in on the act. In the first half of the show we sing a final ode to one of our heroes, and perhaps the ultimate underdog: James Develin.

In the second half of the show, we talk about Patrick Chung's contract extension and get into the weeds a bit with Jimmy Garoppolo as part of the summer scouting series.

The Scho Show 109: AFC East Metrics that Matter
Episode 109 of The Scho Show is here to get your week started off right. In the first half of the show, Mark Schofield highlights a summer series he is working on over at USA Today. Titled "Metrics that Matter," Mark is diving into one statistic that might tell the story for each of the league's 32 teams.

From Josh Allen's downfield passing to quarterback efficiency from the New York Jets, and everything in between, these are the numbers that might tell the story of the 2020 season.

The New England Patriots are looking at one of their most difficult schedules in recent memory- the reigning Super Bowl champions; the reigning NFC champions; the reigning NFL MVP- and they're going to have to face these teams without Tom Brady at the helm.
So what can we expect?
Will the Patriots continue their winning ways with Jarrett Stidham and reach the postseason? Or will we find out just how much Brady meant to this team's success and have the Patriots drafting in the top 5 after this season? And, uh, would that necessarily be a bad thing to have happen?

The Scho Show Episode 106: Positional Value and Schedule Predictions
Episode 106 of The Scho Show begins with...the Baltimore Ravens.
Yes, this is a New England Patriots podcast, but sometimes there are topics that transcend a single team, and this is one of those moments. The Ravens were originally viewed as a team that enjoyed a tremendous draft, with selections such as Patrick Queen, J.K. Dobbins, Malik Harrison and others. But in the past few days opinions have soured on the haul, particularly regarding running back Dobbins. So Mark Schofield begins with a discussion about positional value, and how the Ravens might be an exception to a logical rule in today's game.
Then, it's Mock Schedule Time! Yes the 2020 NFL Schedule is due to be released tonight, so let's partake in some needless speculation!

Pats Pulpit Podcast Ep. 189: Recapping and projecting the success of the 2020 Patriots draft
The New England Patriots' 2020 NFL Draft Class and its additional undrafted free agent signings are in the books and the Patriots are certainly in a better position than they were before an undeniably quintessential Bill Belichick draft class.
A second-round defensive back? Absolutely. A linebacker from Alabama? Sure! A fifth-round special teamer? Of course. And at least a couple undrafted players that have a good chance of making the roster? Without a doubt.
Alec and Rich break down each draft selection and where they fit in on the Patriots roster, analyze the chances of the undrafted players making the roster, and figure out what this means for Jarrett Stidham and the rest of the roster.

The Scho Show 105: Stidham and Smith
Episode 105 of The Scho Show begins, as few good podcasts do, on the nightstand.
When host Mark Schofield woke up on Sunday morning he did what so many people do as soon as they wake up: He checked his phone. What did he find? A slew of football writers reacting to the Dallas Cowboys signing Andy Dalton lamenting the fact that the New England Patriots did not sign him. A common refrain? "Do the Patriots even have a plan at quarterback."
They do. Yes Virginia there is a plan: Jarrett Stidham.
In the second half of the show, Mark takes you to a steamy September night down on the Bayou, when the LSU Tigers had to fight off a scrappy, Bulldog of an underdog. The quarterback that, as Coach O said, punched them in the mouth? New UDFA QB J'Mar Smith.

The Scho Show Episode 104: The Lewerke Show
Having recapped the draft class it is time to turn to the undrafted free agents. The New England Patriots have generally been a model franchise when it comes to finding talent in the undrafted ranks, and last year was not an exception to this rule. A year ago three such players made the roster: WR Gunner Olszewski, WR Jakobi Meyers, and TE Jakob Johnson. That kept alive a streak dating back to 2004.
The Patriots have two potential quarterbacks in this crop, among them Big Ten passer Brian Lewerke from Michigan State. In this installment of The Scho Show, Mark dives into his history as a draft prospect, the perils of summer scouting season, opens up Uncle Mark’s Storytime Hour to highlight one afternoon in College Park, Maryland and walks you through what Lewerke offers.

From the New England Patriots drafting a kicker (as expected) at 159 (although not the kicker we expected) through the Patriots drafting a center to close things out that, well, we do not have a full film evaluation of, Mark has you covered. For the most part. Again, we don't have much on this center from Memphis. He started a bunch of games, we know that.
Then, Mark recaps the entire draft class of Patriots and illustrates how their approach in the draft is a clear window into their thoughts on the entire roster.
Then, in the second half of the show, a special surprise for the true degenerates.

AnfLet's put it this way.
If someone told you prior to the second night of the 2020 NFL Draft that the New England Patriots would come out with:
Devin Asiasi
Kyle Dugger
Dalton Keene
Anfernee Jennings
Joshua Uche
You might have been very excited.
That is exactly what the Patriots did. Now, the order might have taken some by surprise, as New England made Dugger, the Division II safety, their pick at 37. But in the end they added some athleticism to the defense and double-dipped at tight end, something many have been clamoring for them to do for a while now.
In this episode, we break down the picks, talk about teams that are making curious decision, and look ahead to Day Three.

The Scho Show Episode 101: Day One Recap, Day Two Preview
Round one of the 2020 NFL Draft is in the books. At the outset, the New England Patriots did what was predicted at many places, including here on the Mock of Integrity: They traded out. In the process the Patriots added picks at 37 and 71 from the Los Angeles Chargers, setting themselves up with five selections on the second night.
Before we dive into what the Patriots can do with those five picks, we recap the first round. Picks that were good, picks that were not, and perhaps a theme emerging as a results of the real world we are communally living in. Are teams valuing experience, perhaps, more than other traits?
In the second half of the show, we get into New England's five picks and names to watch, plus Mark Schofield's predictions on how those selections play out.

With the NFL Draft a week away, it is time to wrap up the position groups. In this installment we talk about linebackers and defensive backs. With players like Elandon Roberts, Jamie Collins and Kyle Van Noy on their way out of town, linebacker might be a need both early and often in this draft. Who might make sense at 23? Who might make sense later in the draft? What linebacker is Mark Schofield perhaps way too high on? What other players are fits?
In the second half of the show, we turn our attention to the defensive backs. Cornerback might not be an early need, but there are some Day 2 and Day 3 type players that fit. In addition, safety is a need, and could be in play at 23. Who are some players to watch at those spots?

The Scho Show Episode 97: Offensive and Defensive Lines
As we inch closer and closer to the draft, the positional breakdowns continue. In this episode we look at the top offensive and defensive linemen in the draft, or, at least how Mark Schofield ranks them. We start with the offensive tackle group, which is as solid as a group gets. Then we kick things inside, looking at the interior offensive linemen. We have some nasty guys in the interior of this draft, including a Conrad Dobler comp.
Then we switch to the defensive side of the football. Sure, Chase Young is EDGE1, but what about after that? This is an..interesting edge group. But when we kick inside, there is perhaps more depth to love. For example, the guy at IDL10 might be one of Mark's favorite players in this entire draft.

In the second half of the show, Shane Alexander comes out of retirement to talk about the draft. While a Green Bay Packers fan and a huge Alabama football supporter, Shane has a bit of a secret: His love for what Brady and Belichick built in New England. He shares his thoughts on the end of the Brady Era, his view of Jarrett Stidham, and some of the Alabama players in the draft, including one that just seems like a Belichick pick and a surprising choice in the "Ruggs versus Jeudy" debate.

The Scho Show Episode 93: Wide Receivers and Tight Ends. Oh my!
The latest installment of The Scho Show continues our positional dives into the 2020 NFL Draft Class. In this episode we look at the tight ends and the wide receivers, two vastly different position groups in this year's crop of prospects.
First up are the wide receivers. In what could be a legendary class of players, Mark dives into his top 11 prospects at the position. There are surely some surprises, such as Tyler Johnson, Tee Higgins and how high Mark values Justin Jefferson. Mark dives deeper into that by referencing a recent piece for Touchdown Wire that highlights how Jefferson was used in 2018.
Then, the tight ends. While the WR class is great, the TE class is...well it's not. But there are certainly intriguing options in this group, such as Cole Kmet and Adam Trautman.

The Scho Show Episode 93: Mock Draft Monday 10.0
The 93rd episode of The Scho Show is another Mock Draft Monday installment. With the draft fast approaching it is time to kick things into high gear around here, so this will be the first of three shows this week.
As usual, the show starts with a mock from yours truly. With big boards starting to come into focus how could the draft look if the New England Patriots stay pat and make all 12 selections? Well, as we have found on previous shows, the talent that they would miss out on waiting out the second round might not be worth the wait.
In the second half of the show, listener mocks! Remember to submit yours either via e-mail mark (dot) schofield at insidethepylon (dot) com, or via Twitter @MarkSchofield where the DMs are always open, or better yet via The Scho Show Slack Channel, where you can be part of the action, and part of the listener mock that will air right before the draft. #StayTuned

The Scho Show Episode 92: Quarterback Day!
The 92nd installment of The Scho Show is a big one. It is Quarterback Day!
The first half of the show breaks down the top 11 passers in this draft class, at least according to rankings from our sometimes idiotic host. Mark Schofield has comps and thoughts on each of the top 11 quarterbacks, including a few surprising names at the end of the list.
In the second half of the show, Mark takes some notes form Bill Belichick himself and applies them to this class, creating what he thinks the New England Patriots' board looks like at the quarterback position. Shocker, the two lists are not the same.

If it's Monday, it is another Mock Draft Monday installment of The Scho Show. Last week we explored a trade-free, post-free agency mock. How could the board fall if the New England Patriots just addressed their picks, with no trades.
This week we explore the trade-down scenario once more. What happens when we ship pick #23 and pick #172 to the Indianapolis Colts for picks #34 and #75. Well, something strange happens: A QB falls into our lap. Where does the board go from there?

In the 90th installment of The Scho Show, we open with some Power Rankings. Look, nobody likes them, they just make people ragey, but with free agency rolling on it is a good time to take stock of what teams have done. What organizations are trending up, and what organizations are trending down?
And where do the New England Patriots fall on that list?
In the second half of the show, we talk some Jarrett Stidham, and hope. It is a powerful emotion that the NFL packages well, and Patriots fans can have some as we think about life in a post-TB12 world.

The Scho Show Episode 89: Mock Draft Monday 8.0
It is time for the eighth installment of Mock Draft Monday from The Scho Show. Obviously this mock comes at a different time and in a different world, with Tom Brady no longer a member of the New England Patriots. Given the player movement to date, including Brady, Kyle Van Noy, Jamie Collins, Ted Karras, Elandon Roberts and Duron Harmon leaving town, what could the Patriots look to accomplish with their 12 picks in the 2020 NFL Draft?
We try to answer that question, running through a no-trades mock on Fanspeak using the most recent board from Matt Miller.

Pats Pulpit Podcast Ep. 187: BREAKING - Tom Brady leaves the Patriots!
It seems like Tom Brady leaving the New England Patriots is the only story that can be discussed at this point in time, and for good reason. He was a cornerstone of the best dynasty in North American sports and he will no longer be in a Patriots uniform. There are many questions about where he'll go and what the Patriots will do to replace him. Those will be answered in due time.
There are also many other moving pieces with free agency. The Patriots retained both Devin McCourty and Jason McCourty. They franchise tagged Joe Thuney. They extended Matthew Slater. This is a team focused on leadership and the vacuum that Brady's absence will create.
So. What's next for New England?

The second half of the show focuses on the crop of Patriots free agency, of course some thoughts (final thoughts/predictions of course) on what Tom Brady does, as well as some thoughts on the rest of the crop of free agents. Additionally, Mark dives into a recent piece he wrote for USA Today/Touchdown Wire, breaking down some risky free agents in this group.
In addition, Mark has thoughts on Gronk's rather expected move to the WWE, as well as NFL providing compensatory draft picks and how that could influence what the Patriots do with the now 12 selections they have in the NFL Draft.

In this mock, Mark trades down from the selection at 23 with the Indianapolis Colts, getting their second round pick at 44 overall and their third round pick at 75 overall in return. What could New England do with those picks - and how did Mark perhaps mess them up?

No trades, no silly business, just a chance to see how the board looks now that everyone has been tested out in Indianapolis. As you might expect, there is some value out there now on everyone's big board.

Winners include Anthony Gordon, Jalen Hurts and Justin Herbert at the quarterback position. From the tight ends, Adam Trautman and Cole Kmet helped themselves, Mitchell Wilcox took a ball to the dome, and Albert O earns an Incomplete despite his blazing 4.49 40-yard dash.
When it comes to the wide receivers, Mark has to eat some crow when it comes to a draft crush.

The Scho Show Episode 80: Combine Day Two
Day Two of the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine is winding down but the action is heating up. With players starting testing on Wednesday (wide receiver bench press time!) some of the true meat of the week is getting underway.
Today offensive linemen took to the podium, and in this episode we will hear from three of them. First up is Ben Bartch from St. John's in Minnesota. The Division III prospect made a name for himself down in Mobile during Senior Bowl week, and he is looking to keep that momentum out in Indianapolis. Come for the insight, stay for the weight gain shake recipe.
Next is Lloyd Cushenberry from LSU. The interior offensive lineman spoke at length about what it means to be a center, and what that LSU offense accomplished together.
Finally the show concludes with the podium session from Cesar Ruiz. The Michigan center shared lessons about leadership and loss, and his remarks are a must-listen. Something tells me the New England Patriots - who have met with him - are going to lik…

The Scho Show Episode 79: Combine Day 1
The first day of the 2020 NFL Combine is in the books. The week kicked off with quarterbacks, tight ends and wide receivers taking to the...podium.
In the first half of the show we hear from three different tight ends on New England's radar. First up is Stephen Sullivan, the LSU tight end who could find a home with the Patriots late on Day Three. Then Purdue's Brycen Hopkins, a tight end in the move mold who could be a matchup type of player. Finally, Albert Okwuegbunam from Missouri. Albert O spoke about the tight ends that he studied on film, and one is a name you will recognize.
In the second half of the show it is time for the quarterbacks. Sure, the talk out in Indianapolis was Joe Burrow and Tua Tagovailoa, but Mark Schofield spent some quality time with two Day Three prospects, Cole McDonald and Anthony Gordon.

The Scho Show Episode 78: Mock Draft Monday 4.0
Mock draft simulations are all about testing out various theories. In Mock Draft Monday 4.0, the hypothesis is this: If value is to be found in picks 40-100 of this draft, how can the New England Patriots go about achieving that goal. In the first half of this episode, Mark Schofield does exactly that, pulling off two trades to acquire a pick in the second round, and an additional pick in the third round.
What he does with those picks, however, might have been underwhelming, given what comes in the second half of the show.
As we do on each Mock Draft Monday, the listener mocks take up the second half of the show. This week, it is pretty clear: The listeners did a better job at hunting value than Mark did.

The Scouting Combine. The Underwear Olympics. Whatever you call them, the next big stop of the 2020 NFL Draft season is next week when the NFL world descends upon Indianapolis.
In the 77th installment of The Scho Show, Mark Schofield has a preview of the quarterbacks that will be in attendence, highlighting what is the most important location for each quarterback during their time in Indy. For some, like Joe Burrow, it might be the podium during the media portion. For others, like Jake Fromm, it might be a whiteboard in a hotel suite.
The most important aspects of the combine are those that take place behind closed doors: The medical examinations as well as the meetings with team officials. But whatever the location, here are the most important spots for each of the 17 QBs headed to the midwest.

The lack of a second round pick is going to be a problem.

The first half of this episode focuses a bit on the world of football evaluation and media, starting off with the Twitterverse. Building off a discussion Mark had with Matt Waldman on a recent episode of the RSP Cast, Mark highlights some aspects of Football Twitter that can be beneficial for learning about the game. In particular, "OL Twitter."
Then, with the combine on the horizon, Mark shares a lesson from Matt about how to use the combine during the evaluation process.
In the second half of the show, Mark dives into two quarterbacks: Jake Fromm and Jake Luton. He expected to be excited about one. And he is...

For the past few weeks Mark Schofield has had a growing thought in his mind: Could we see not one, not two, not three, not four but perhaps five quarterbacks picked in the top 15 of this year's draft? With Jordan Love and Justin Herbert coming off solid Senior Bowl weeks, and Jacob Eason gathering some attention, there is that chance.
If so, what could that mean for New England at 23?
In the second half of the show, Mark then dives deeper into Eason, and the question that he is wrestling with as he continues his evaluation of the Washington passer. A little later, Mark has some drive-by thoughts on Jake Fromm as well.
