New England Patriots Holiday Mailbag: Drake Maye, Offense Play-Calling, Run Defense and More

With two games remaining on their schedule, the New England Patriots are compiling quite the list of needs for 2025 and beyond. In that vein, host Mike D’Abate opens the Locked On Patriots mailbag to take a look into the Patriots play-calling on offense and how it is affecting the development of rookie quarterback Drake Maye. He also addresses the Pats run defense as one of the team’s biggest concerns and what can be done to fix the problems. Lastly, Mike has some holiday fun by revealing the gift he would give to the Patriots, if he were Santa Claus. #nfl #newenglandpatriots  Find and follow Locked On Patriots on your favorite podcast platforms: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast... Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1c5ZxFm... Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/locked-... And follow host Mike D’Abate on X, where he’ll be sharing the latest ne ws about the New England Patriots and talking with fans — @mdabateNFL Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Hillsdale CollegeAll of Hillsdale’s courses are self-paced so that you can start whenever, and tune in wherever.
